HPLC and CE methods were developed for analysis of somatostatin analogue (S-analogue) peptides utilizing triethylammonium phosphate-organic solvent modifier solvents as the CE buffer and HPLC eluent. Acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol and 2-propanol were applied as organic modifiers. The applicability of HPLC and CE systems was evaluated and compared. Optimum conditions for the separation were determined for both methods. Retention (migration) time, elution order and selectivity can be influenced by modifying the composition of the eluent (buffer) with organic solvents not only in HPLC but also in CE. Although the HPLC system reacted to changes in the organic solvent concentration in a much more sensitive way than the CE system did (from the point of view of retention time), CE proved to be a more suitable method for separating the peptides investigated. Baseline separation could be achieved within 6-9 min by CE, a result which was impossible to achieve with HPLC working in the isocratic mode. In CE the effect of the alcohols on migration times proved to be opposite to that of acetonitrile. Whereas ACN decreased, the alcohols increased the migration times in a concentration-dependent way. The results suggest that CE can be applied very advantageously in peptide analysis. Its performance regarding selectivity, resolution, theoretical plate number, duration and cost is comparable or sometimes superior to that of HPLC.

Lanreotide was labelled with 188Re obtained from 188W/188Re generator, using stannous ion as reducing agent, ascorbic acid as stabilizers and hydroxy ethylidene bisphosphonate (HEDP) as intermediary ligand at different molar ratios, pH and incubation times. Best yields (>95%) were obtained using molar ratios SnF2/lanreotide, ascorbic/lanreotide and HEDP/lanreotide of 40, 12 and 260, respectively, pH 1-2 with an incubation at 100 degrees C for 30 min. Quality control evaluation and stability of the radiolabel compound was done by the following selected methods: chromatography in Whatman 3 MM with MEK and NaCl 0.15 M as solvents, ITLC-SG with ethanol-HCl 0.01N (90:10); reverse phase extraction cartridge (Sep-pak C18, Waters Associated) and RP-HPLC with radiometric and UV detection (220 nm) using MCH-5 n-capp column with linear gradient from 90% H2O (TFA 0.1%): 10% ACN (TFA 0.1%) up to 10% H2O (TFA 0.1%):90% ACN (TFA 0.1%) in 30 min, at flow 1 ml/min. Biodistribution in normal mice showed that 188Re-lanreotide is excreted mainly through the hepatobiliary system: more than 70% I.D. is present in gallbladder and intestines at 2 hr post injection. The stability of the 188Re-peptide bond by cysteine challenge test at 37 degrees C, during 2 and 24 hr of incubation time, reveals that approximately 300 and 100 molar ratio cys/peptide is required to displace 50% of the 188Re from the complex. In vitro stability of 188Re-lanreotide at room temperature (Rt) was demonstrated during 24 hr Future works must be done in order to investigate its binding capacity to somatostatin receptors.

LC-HRMS-based identification of the products of peptide catabolism is the key to drive the design of more stable compounds. Because the catabolite of a given peptide can be very different from the parent compound and from other catabolites in terms of physicochemical properties, it can be challenging to develop an analytical method that allows recovery and detection of the parent and all parent-related catabolites. The aim of this study was to investigate how the recovery and the matrix effect of peptidic drugs and their catabolites are affected by different protein precipitation (PP) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) protocols. To this purpose, four model peptides representative of different classes (somatostatin, GLP-2, human insulin and liraglutide) were digested with trypsin and chymotrypsin to simulate proteolytic catabolism. The resulting mixtures of the parent peptides and their proteolytic products covering a wide range of relative hydrophobicity (HR ) and isoelectric points (pI) were spiked in human plasma and underwent different PP and SPE protocols. Recovery and matrix effect were measured for each peptide and its catabolites. PP with three volumes of ACN or EtOH yielded the highest overall recoveries (more than 50% for the four parent peptides and all their catabolites) among all the tested PP and SPE protocols. Mixed-mode anion exchange (MAX) was the only SPE sorbent among the five tested that allowed to extract all the peptides with recoveries more than 20%. Matrix effect was generally lower with SPE. Overall, it was observed that peptides with either high hydrophilicity (e.g., somatostatin catabolites) or hydrophobicity (GLP-2 and lipidated liraglutide catabolites) had a much narrower choice of PP solvent or SPE protocol. Simulation of catabolism using recombinant enzymes together with in silico calculation of the HR and the pI of potential proteolysis products is recommended to select the optimal extraction conditions for the study of peptide catabolism.
