Background: Vorasidenib is a pan-IDH inhibitor, undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. Methods: In this paper, we present the data of method validation to quantify vorasidenib in the mice blood mice using dried blood spot (DBS) method on LC-MS/MS as per FDA bioanalytical method validation guideline. Using methanol (enriched with internal standard) as an extraction solvent followed by sonication, vorasidenib was extracted from DBS quality control samples, calibration curve samples and pharmacokinetic study samples. Baseline separation of vorasidenib and the IS in a 2.0 μL injected sample was accomplished by delivering 0.2% formic acid and acetonitrile (25:75, v/v) at a constant flowrate (1.00 mL/min) on a C18 column. The total run time was 2.0 min. Using the transition pair of m/z 415.4→260.4 for vorasidenib and m/z 583.1→186.1 for the IS, the quantitation was performed. The method linearity range was 1.00-3008.00 ng/mL. Results: The recovery of vorasidenib ranged between 71.28%-78.14% across the tested concentrations. No matrix effect was seen. Intra- and inter-day precisions were ≤7.23% and intra- and inter-accuracies ranged between 97.1%-107%. Vorasidenib was stable for three freeze/thaw cycles, up to 7 days at room temperature and for one month at -80°C. Following intravenous and oral administration of vorasidenib to mice, it was quantifiable up to 72 h. The oral bioavailability was 51.6%. Conclusions: All the validation parameters met the acceptance criteria as specified in the FDA regulatory guideline. The results suggest that validated DBS method can be used for pharmacokinetic studies in mice to characterize the pharmacokinetic parameters of vorasidenib post intravenous and oral administration.

Aim and Objective:: An analytical method for the determination of mobocertinib, an investigational tyrosine kinase inhibitor, was developed and optimized by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in rat plasma. Materials and Methods:: Plasma samples were pretreated by the protein precipitation method with a methanol solution of osimertinib as the internal standard (IS). Chromatographic separation was performed using an Inertsil ODS-3 column (50 mm × 4.6 mm, I.D. 5 μm) column with the temperature maintained at 40 °C. The mobile phase consisted of water (containing 0.1% formic acid) and methanol in a gradient mode at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. Mass spectrometric detection was carried out in the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode with positive electrospray ionization, and the mass transitions of mobocertinib and osimertinib were m/z 587.01 → 71.88 and m/z 499.80 → 71.94, respectively. The method was validated in terms of selectivity, linearity, accuracy and precision, extraction recovery and matrix effect, stability and carryover as per the guidelines for bioanalytical method validation (FDA, 2018). The method was applied to the pharmacokinetic study of mobocertinib in rats by oral gavage at the doses of 2, 6, and 18 mg/kg. A total of 216 plasma samples from 18 rats were analyzed. Results:: It showed good linearity over the range of 1-1000 ng/mL (R2 = 0.9957). The intra-batch accuracy was within 94.65-102.59% and the precision was within 5.49-10.46%. The inter-batch accuracy was within 97.08-102.25% with a precision of 7.54-10.13%. The extraction recovery and matrix factor were acceptable for the bioanalysis of mobocertinib. Additionally, mobocertinib was found to be stable under the detected conditions. Mobocertinib showed linear pharmacokinetic characteristics following oral administration to rats at 2.0-18.0 mg/kg. Conclusion:: The developed and validated method was successfully employed in the pharmacokinetic study in rats following oral administration of mobocertinib at the doses of 2, 6, and 18 mg/kg.

AbstractIvosidenib is an approved drug for relapsed or refractory IDH1 mutant AML patients. The goal of the present work is to develop and validate an LC-MS/MS method for the quantitation of ivosidenib in mice dried blood spots (DBS) as per regulatory guideline in the linearity range of 1.10–3293 ng/mL. To date there is no bioanalytical method reported for quantitation of ivosidenib. The chromatographic resolution of ivosidenib and internal standard (warfarin) was achieved on a C18 column with an isocratic mobile phase. All validation parameters met the acceptance criteria. The intra- and inter-day precision was in the range of 2.79–10.5 and 5.76–9.02%, respectively. Ivosidenib was stable for 3 freeze/thaw cycles, up to 7 days at room temperature and for one month at −80°C. The applicability of the validated method is shown in a mice pharmacokinetic study. Ivosidenib was quantifiable up to 24 and 36 h following intravenous and oral administration to mice, respectively. The oral bioavailability was 48%. Comparison of DBS vs. plasma concentrations of ivosidenib showed excellent correlation, indicating DBS can be used as an alternative for plasma for pharmacokinetic analysis.

AbstractIdelalisib is a selective and second-generation PI3K-δ inhibitor, approved for the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. In this paper, we present a fully validated dried blood spot (DBS) method for the quantitation of idelalisib from mice blood using an LC-MS/MS, which was operated under multiple reaction monitoring mode. To the punched DBS discs, acidified methanol enriched with internal standard (IS; larotrectinib) was added and extracted using tert-butyl methyl ether as an extraction solvent with sonication. Chromatographic separation of idelalisib and the IS was achieved on an Atlantis dC18 column using a mixture of 10 mM ammonium formate:acetonitrile (25:75, v/v). The flow-rate and injection volume were 0.80 mL/min and 2.0 µL, respectively. Idelalisib and the IS were eluted at ~0.98 and 0.93 min, respectively and the total run time was 2.00 min. Idelalisib and the IS were analyzed using positive ion scan mode and parent-daughter mass to charge ion (m/z) transition of 416.1→176.1 and 429.1→342.1, respectively was used for the quantitation. The calibration range was 1.01−4 797 ng/mL. No matrix effect and carry over were observed. Haematocrit did not influence DBS idelalisib concentrations. All the validation parameters met the acceptance criteria. The applicability of the validated method was shown in a mice pharmacokinetic study.

Fructus polygoni orientalis (FPO) is widely used in clinical practice in China, especially in treatment of liver diseases including viral hepatitis, liver fibrosis, and liver cirrhosis. However, its pharmacokinetic (PK) alterations in liver fibrotic rats have rarely been reported. To study whether taxifolin, one of the main flavonoids in FPO can be absorbed into blood after oral administration of FPO extract and to compare the differences in pharmacokinetic parameters of taxifolin to normal and liver fibrotic rats induced by porcine serum (PS), a UPLC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for determination of taxifolin in rat plasma using puerarin as the internal standard (IS). All validation parameters met the acceptance criteria according to regulatory guidelines. The results indicated that after treatment of rats with PS alone for 12 weeks, the liver fibrotic model group was built successfully. The taxifolin can be absorbed into the blood after oral administration of the FPO extract. The Cmax of taxifolin was 1940 ± 502.2 ng/mL and 2648 ± 208.5 ng/mL (p<0.05), the AUC0∼t of taxifolin was 4949.7 ± 764.89 h·ng/mL and 6679.9 ± 734.26 h·ng/mL (p<0.05), the AUC0∼∞ of taxifolin was 5049.4 ± 760.7 and 7095.2 ± 962.3 h·ng/mL (p<0.05), and the mean residence time (MRT) of taxifolin was 2.46 ± 0.412 h and 3.17 ± 0.039 h (p<0.05) in the normal and fibrotic model groups, respectively. These results confirmed that the pharmacokinetic parameters of taxifolin are altered in liver fibrosis, manifested as Cmax, AUC0∼t, AUC0∼∞, and the mean residence time (MRT). It suggested that it is essential to consider the characteristics of pharmacokinetics after oral administration of FPO in liver disease patients.

AbstractIn this study, a simple and rapid liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method was developed to simultaneously determinate five 16-deoxybarringtogenol C triterpenoid saponins with the potential of neuroprotection in rat plasma following the oral administration of the Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge husks extract. With digoxin as the internal standard, the plasma samples were pre-treated by ethyl acetate-isopropanol (1:1, v/v). The chromatographic separation of the five analytes was performed using a Phenomenex C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5.0 mm) with a mobile phase of 0.05% formic acid (A)-acetonitrile (B). The mass spectrometric detection was carried out in the selected ion mode in positive ionization. The extraction recoveries of the five analytes were all over 71.28%. The established method was fully validated in line with the ICH and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines and successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study on the five analytes in rat plasma. The terminal half-life (t1/2) of the five analytes was 2.92 ± 0.57, 5.52 ± 1.75, 2.48 ± 0.62, 2.95 ± 0.94, and 2.34 ± 0.81, respectively. This study was purposed to investigate the oral pharmacokinetic parameters and gain an in-depth insight into the reasonable preclinical use of the husks extract derived from X. sorbifolia Bunge.

To test the effect of insulin treatment on the pharmacokinetics of metformin in rats with diabetes mellitus induced by alloxan (DMIA rats). The following results were reported from other studies. Metformin was metabolized via hepatic CYP2C11, 2D1, and 3A1/2 in rats. In DMIA rats, the protein expression and mRNA levels of hepatic CYP2C11 and 3A1/2 decreased and increased, respectively. In rat model of diabetes mellitus induced by streptozotocin, the protein expression of hepatic CYP2D1 was not changed. The increase in hepatic CYP1A2, 2B1, and 2E1, and decrease in hepatic CYP2C11 in DMIA rats was returned to the controls by insulin treatment. METHODS. Metformin (100 mg/kg) was administered intravenously and orally to the control rats, DMIA rats, and DMIA rats with insulin treatment for 3 weeks (DMIA rats with insulin). RESULTS. After intravenous administration of metformin to the DMIA rats, the CLR and CLNR of the drug were significantly slower than the controls. After oral administration of metformin to the DMIA rats, the AUC of the drug was also significantly greater than the controls. After intravenous administration of metformin to the DMIA rats with insulin, the significantly slower CLNR of the drug in the DMIA rats was returned to the controls. The altered pharmacokinetic indices observed following intravenous and oral administration of metformin to DMIA rats returned to the control values in the DMIA rats with insulin. CONCLUSIONS. The significantly slower CLNR of metformin in the DMIA rats could be due to the decrease in hepatic CYP2C11 than the controls. The comparable CLNR of metformin between the DMIA rats with insulin and the control rats could be due to restoration of hepatic CYP enzyme changes in DMIA rats to the controls.

Objective: To develop and validate a modified isocratic reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method for determination of cilnidipine and nebivolol in human plasma to be used for pharmacokinetic studies.Methods: The drug was extracted from plasma samples by direct protein precipitation technique using acetonitrile. Amlodipine was used as internal standard (IS). Samples were analyzed on BDS C18 column (250 x 4.6 mm, 5 µm), applying ortho phosphoric acid (0.1%): Acetonitrile, at a ratio of 45:55 v/v in isocratic mode as a mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 ml/min to attain adequate resolution. Separations were performed at room temperature and monitored at a wavelength of 260 nm after injection of 50μl samples into the HPLC system. The analytical method was validated according to FDA bioanalytical method validation guidance. The method was applied for pharmacokinetic study of cilnidipine and nebivolol tablets-10 mg and 5 mg were administered as a single dose to 6 healthy male rabbits under fasting condition. Twelve blood samples were withdrawn from each rabbit over 24 h periods. From the plasma concentration-time data of each individual, the pharmacokinetic parameters; Cmax, Tmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ were calculated.Results: A peak area was obtained for cilnidipine and nebivolol at 3.943 and 4.719 min retention time respectively. Linearity was established at a concentration range of 0.20-20 μg/ml (r2=0.999, n=8) for cilnidipine and 0.02-2 μg/ml (r2=0.999, n=8) for nebivolol. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was identifiable and reproducible at 0.2μg/ml for cilnidipine and 0.02 μg/ml for nebivolol. The coefficients of variation (%cv) of the intra-day and inter-day precision of cilnidipine at 600, 1000 and 1600ng/ml levels were found to be 6.90%, 6.19%, 5.22%; and 7.74%, 6.54%, 5.77%, respectively, which are lower than the accepted criteria limits (15-20 %). The mean recovery (%) cilnidipine at 600, 1000, and 1600ng/ml was found to be 101.03%, 99.27% and 104.87%, and for nebivolol 60, 100, and 160 ng/ml was found to be 106.13%, 107.03% and 98.06% respectively. Stability at different conditions and in autosampler was also established. The mean pharmacokinetic parameters; Cmax, Tmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ were 6 ng/ml, 2 hr, 96.76 mg. hr/ml, 63.45 mg. hr/ml for cilnidipine and 5.8ng/ml, 2hr, 74.78 mg. hr/ml, 100.25 mg. hr/ml for nebivolol respectively.Conclusion: The present analytical method was found to be specific, sensitive, accurate and precise for quantification of cilnidipine and nebivolol in human plasma. It can be successively applied for pharmacokinetics, bioavailability and bioequivalence studies.

Abstract Tigecycline (TIG), a novel glycylcycline antibiotic, plays an important role in the management of complicated skin and intra-abdominal infections. The available data lack any description of a method for determination of TIG in avian plasma. In our study, a selective, accurate and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed for the determination of TIG in turkey plasma. Sample preparation was based on protein precipitation and liquid-liquid extraction using 1,2-dichloroethane. Chromatographic separation of TIG and minocycline (internal standard, IS) was achieved on an Atlantis T3 column (150 mm × 3.0 mm, 3.0 μm) using gradient elution. The selected reaction monitoring transitions were performed at 293.60 m/z → 257.10 m/z for TIG and 458.00 m/z → 441.20 m/z for IS. The developed method was validated in terms of specificity, selectivity, linearity, lowest limit of quantification, limit of detection, precision, accuracy, matrix effect, carry-over effect, extraction recovery and stability. All parameters of the method submitted to validation met the acceptance criteria. The assay was linear over the concentration range of 0.01-100 μg/ml. This validated method was successfully applied to a TIG pharmacokinetic study in turkey after intravenous and oral administration at a dose of 10 mg/kg at various time-points.

AbstractSarecycline is a narrow-spectrum antibiotic for the treatment of acne, which is a chronic inflammatory disease of the hair follicle sebaceous glands. In the study, UPLC-MS/MS was used to establish a rapid and accurate analytical method. The sarecycline was determined with poziotinib as internal standard (IS) in rat plasma. An ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3 column (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.8 μm) could performe chromatographic separation with the mobile phase (methanol: water of 0.1% formic acid) with gradient elution. The ions of target fragment were m/z 488.19→410.14 for sarecycline and m/z 492.06→354.55 for poziotinib, which could quantify the electrospray ionization of positive multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The linear calibration curve of the concentration range was 1–1,000 ng/mL for sarecycline with a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 1 ng/mL. The mean recovery was between 82.46 and 95.85% for sarecycline and poziotinib in rat plasma. RSD for precision of inter-day and intra-day were between 3.24 and 13.36%, and the accuracy ranged from 105.26 to 109.75%. The developed and validated method was perfectly used in the pharmacokinetic study and bioavailability of sarecycline after intravenous and oral administration in rats.
