This study investigates the applicability of six transition metal dichalcogenides to efficient therapeutic drug monitoring of ten antiepileptic drugs using laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry. We found that molybdenum ditelluride and tungsten ditelluride are suitable for the sensitive quantification of therapeutic drugs. The contribution of tellurium to the enhanced efficiency of laser desorption ionization was validated through theoretical calculations utilizing an integrated model that incorporates transition-metal dichalcogenides and antiepileptic drugs. The results of our theoretical calculations suggest that the relatively low surface electron density for the tellurium-containing transition metal dichalcogenides induces stronger Coulombic interactions, which results in enhanced laser desorption and ionization efficiency. To demonstrate applicability, up to 120 patient samples were analyzed to determine drug concentrations, and the results were compared with those of immunoassay and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Agreements among these methods were statistically evaluated using the Passing-Bablok regression and Bland-Altman analysis. Furthermore, our method has been shown to be applicable to the simultaneous detection and multiplexed quantification of antiepileptic drugs.
