High-Throughput Drug Derivatization and Bioassay by Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry

March 17, 2025

Adapting high-throughput (HT) synthetic methods to the modification of drugs and to testing of their bioactivity should expedite drug discovery. Here, we demonstrate the applicability of HT desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI MS) to achieve late-stage functionalization (LSF) and so to rapidly generate a modified opioid library.
