The interaction between the mixtures become complex for higher order mixtures (ternary and higher orders) and it is difficult to explain the mixture toxicity based on the mechanism action of chemicals due to complexity of interaction. 7. High throughput in vitro assays are extremely useful to determine mixture effect on toxic pathway and associated outcome of toxicity. In short, data from this current study suggest that the combined toxicity of PAHs and metals is dose, and mixture type, and…

Introduction: LC-MS is used for the bioanalysis of small molecules drugs, which has molecular mass of less than 800 Da. Now a days, it is also frequently used for the bioanalytical determination of biopharmaceuticals.1 In pharmaceutical R & D, it takes a year to develop a new marketing drug identified from thousands of new compounds. The drug discovery is divided into early and late phase, during which pharmacokinetics study or bioanalysis of a drug is done. Once, the bioanalysis of a drug is…
