Traditionally, the analysis of metabolic stability assays heavily relies on high-throughput LC-MS\/MS (liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry) techniques to meet with the lead profiling demands. Laser-assisted rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (LA-REIMS) is a quick and efficient technique for characterizing complex biological samples without laborious sample preparation. Objective: In this study, using an automated LA-REIMS well plate reader, achieving an 8 s per sample measurement time, the oxidative metabolic stability of active drug agents was assessed using biomimetic metalloporphyrin-based oxidative model reactions. Results: The results obtained using the novel LA-REIMS-based protocol were compared to and corroborated by those obtained using conventional HPLC-UV-MS (high performance liquid chromatography with ultra-violet detection coupled with mass spectrometry) measurements. Conclusions: LA-REIMS emerges as a promising technique, demonstrating potential suitability for semi-quantitative high-throughput metabolic stability in an optimized solvent environment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pharmaceutics16101266","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,27]],"date-time":"2024-09-27T11:19:33Z","timestamp":1727435973000},"page":"1266","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["High-Throughput Drug Stability Assessment via Biomimetic Metalloporphyrin-Catalyzed Reactions Using Laser-Assisted Rapid Evaporative Ionization Mass Spectrometry (LA-REIMS)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-5683-5484","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andr\u00e1s","family":"Marton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Environmental Process Engineering, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, M\u0171egyetem rakpart 3, H-1111 Budapest, Hungary"},{"name":"Waters Research Center, H-1031 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8340-3053","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zsombor","family":"Moh\u00e1csi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Semmelweis University, H\u0151gyes Endre. u. 9, H-1092 Budapest, Hungary"},{"name":"Center for Pharmacology and Drug Research & Development, Semmelweis University, \u00dcll\u0151i \u00fat 26, H-1085 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bal\u00e1zs","family":"Decsi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Environmental Process Engineering, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, M\u0171egyetem rakpart 3, H-1111 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bal\u00e1zs","family":"Csillag","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Environmental Process Engineering, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, M\u0171egyetem rakpart 3, H-1111 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4914-8797","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J\u00falia","family":"Balog","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Waters Corporation, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6532-1492","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard","family":"Sch\u00e4ffer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Waters Research Center, H-1031 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-1748-7157","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tam\u00e1s","family":"Karancsi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Waters Research Center, H-1031 Budapest, Hungary"},{"name":"Ambimass Kft, Z\u00e1hony u. 7, H-1031 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8273-1760","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gy\u00f6rgy Tibor","family":"Balogh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Environmental Process Engineering, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, M\u0171egyetem rakpart 3, H-1111 Budapest, Hungary"},{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Semmelweis University, H\u0151gyes Endre. u. 9, H-1092 Budapest, Hungary"},{"name":"Center for Pharmacology and Drug Research & Development, Semmelweis University, \u00dcll\u0151i \u00fat 26, H-1085 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"31","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vascn.2016.10.006","article-title":"Harmonised High Throughput Microsomal Stability Assay","volume":"84","author":"Williamson","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
