## Abstract RPโHPLC has largely been the analytical method of choice in the pharmaceutical industry for many years because of the poor aqueous solubility and hydrophobicity of most small molecule drug candidates. RPโHPLC coupled to MS has provided an excellent analytical tool for qualitatively and

Abstract
With advancements in ionization methods and instrumentation, liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) has become a powerful technology for the characterization of small molecules and proteins. This article will illustrate the role of LC/MS analysis in drug discovery process. Examples will be given on highโthroughput analysis, structural analysis of trace level impurities in drug substances, identification of metabolites, and characterization of therapeutic protein products for process improvement. Some unique MS techniques will also be discussed to demonstrate their effectiveness in facilitating structural identifications. Copyright ยฉ 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
