Abstract
Expanding our understanding of drug-gut bacteria interactions requires high-throughput drug measurements in complex bacterial cultures. Quantification of drugs in the cultures, media, and cell pellets is prone to strong matrix effects. We have developed a liquid chromatography–high resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS) method for quantifying duloxetine from high-throughput gut-drug interaction experiments. The method is partially validated for its reproducibility, sensitivity, and accuracy, which makes it suitable for largescale drug screens. We extensively used this method to study biotransformation and bioaccumulation of duloxetine and other drugs in several species of gut bacteria.

Background
Several recent clinical studies showed the impact of drugs on the gut microbiome. Such interactions can have a considerable impact on drug biotransformation, pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and toxicity of the administered drug (Falony et al., 2016; Scott et al., 2017). To study bacteria-drug interactions, systematic profiling of such interactions in human gut bacterial strains is a powerful approach (Maier and Typas, 2017; Zimmermann et al., 2019; Forslund et al., 2015). Such experiments usually involve large scale screening of several gut bacterial species with targeted drugs and require high-throughput quantification of drugs and their metabolites. Also, the complexity of bacterial cultures and gut microbiota media (GMM) used in such experiments generate strong background signals that interfere with drug analysis. The further study of drugs biotransformation and bioaccumulation requires their quantification in total culture medium, supernatant, and cell pellet, which is prone to strong matrix effects. We addressed these challenges by developing and validating an LC–HRMS method for the quantification of duloxetine. We studied duloxetine, a widely used antidepressant, and found it to be bioaccumulated by several gut microbial species. This LC–HRMS method serves as a validation of the results obtained from large screening of several hundreds of bacteria-drug pairs (Klünemann et al., 2021).
Generally, drug quantification is performed using triple quadrupole instruments due to their sensitivity and specificity. The reported methods for duloxetine quantification are mostly done in blood plasma samples (Senthamil Selvan et al., 2007; Waldschmitt et al., 2007; Chae et al., 2013; Zhang et al., 2017). However, during quantification of duloxetine in bacterial cultures using the reported methods, we found that the specificity of analysis was compromised by the background matrix of the bacterial culture. The matrix effect hampered the accurate quantification of duloxetine, especially from incubated cultures (for 48 h). The method we developed is accurate, specific, and sensitive for quantifying duloxetine from total culture medium, supernatant, and pellet.
The study of drug-gut interactions is an emerging field that is expanding our knowledge about this fascinating research area. Our method can be a useful tool for drug quantification in gut microbiome studies.
