New methods employing capillary liquid chromatography in combination with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (microLC-TOF/MS) were developed for the rapid determination of salcatonin in human urine and plasma. The present approaches utilize (13)C(6)-leucine (19)-labeled salcatonin as internal standard, small matrix volumes and simple sample preparation procedures. They allow TOF/MS to be used as a highly selective detector for providing accurate quantitation of salcatonin. Data acquisition was performed in enhanced mode optimizing the signal for the triply charged species of salcatonin and its internal standard. We demonstrate that the determination of salcatonin is straightforward and reliable and can be performed with excellent linearity (R(2)>0.999), precision and accuracy over the concentration ranges of 2.9-290 pmol/mL in human urine, and 7.3-730 pmol/mL in human plasma.

In this study, we use supercritical carbon dioxide as a processing medium for the fabrication of poly(DL-lactic acid) P(DLLA) microparticles that encapsulate a protein material. We have previously demonstrated that this polymer and a dry powder of a protein can be mixed under supercritical carbon dioxide conditions (above 31.1 degrees C and 73.8 bar) and that the protein component retains its biological activity. In this paper, we progress the work to demonstrate that the plasticized polymer and dry powder protein mixture can be sprayed to form solid polymer particles that encapsulate the protein. Particle size range is between 10 and 300 microm after spraying. Ribonuclease A and lysozyme were encapsulated in the polymer without significant loss of enzymatic activity. Biological assays of insulin and calcitonin confirm retention of activity after fabrication of the microparticles and release of the peptides/proteins.
