Abstrakt:	An approach is described for high-throughput quality assessment of drug candidate libraries using high-resolution acoustic ejection mass spectrometry (AEMS). Sample introduction from 1536-well plates is demonstrated for this application using 2.5 nL acoustically dispensed sample droplets into an Open Port Interface (OPI) with pneumatically assisted electrospray ionization at a rate of one second per sample. Both positive and negative ionization are shown to be essential to extend the compound coverage of this protease inhibitor-focused library. Specialized software for efficiently interpreting this data in 1536-well format is presented. A new high-throughput method for quantifying the concentration of the components (HTQuant) is proposed that neither requires adding an internal standard to each well nor further encumbers the high-throughput workflow. This approach for quantitation requires highly reproducible peak areas, which is shown to be consistent within 4.4 % CV for a 1536-well plate analysis. An approach for troubleshooting the workflow based on the background ion current signal is also presented. The AEMS data is compared to the industry standard LC/PDA/ELSD/MS approach and shows similar coverage but at 180-fold greater throughput. Despite the same ionization process, both methods confirmed the presence of a small percentage of compounds in wells that the other did not. The data for this relatively small, focused library is compared to a larger, more chemically diverse library to indicate that this approach can be more generally applied beyond this single case study. This capability is particularly timely considering the growing implementation of artificial intelligence strategies that require the input of large amounts of high-quality data to formulate predictions relevant to the drug discovery process. The molecular structures of the 872-compound library analyzed here are included to begin the process of correlating molecular structures with ionization efficiency and other parameters as an initial step in this direction.
