Abstract
We have developed a targeted metabolomics screen which consists of using two isotopically labeled glucose compounds to conduct a dual oral glucose tolerance test in rats. This dual isotopic oral glucose tolerance test (DIS-OGTT) can be used to select drug candidates that have “on”- target or have “off”-target effects on oral glucose absorption, hepatic glucose production or glucose disposal. The DIS-OGTT assay utilized intravenously administered [6-13C1-6, 6’-2H2]-glucose and orally administered [U-13C6] glucose to monitor glucose homeostasis. In the experiment, a constant intravenous dose of [6-13C1-6, 6’-2H2] glucose was converted in vivo to a series of [M+1] glucose isotopomers and unlabeled [M] glucose via gluconeogenesis while the orally administered [U-13C6] glucose was converted to a series of [M+3] and [M+2] glucose isotopomers via gluconeogenesis. The detection platform of the assay was based on a negative mode electrospray ionization liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method where the deprotonated glucose anion and its various isotopomers were quantitated in rat plasma using multiple reaction monitoring techniques. The in vivo rat DIS-OGTT assay was a sensitive method for understanding drug candidates underlying postprandial effects on glucose absorption, hepatic glucose production, and insulin controlled glucose disposal. Since glucose derivatization was not required for this assay, a higher sample throughput DIS-OGTT was achieved.

From Biodiversity to Chemical Diversity: Focus of Flavonoids
Flavonoids are the largest group of polyphenols, plant secondary metabolites arising from the essential aromatic amino acid phenylalanine (or more rarely from tyrosine) via the phenylpropanoid pathway. The flavan nucleus is the basic 15-carbon skeleton of flavonoids (C6-C3-C6), which consists of two phenyl rings (A and B) and a heterocyclic ...read more
