Abstract1-(4-(Pyrrolidin-1-yl-methyl)phenyl)-3-(4-((3-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl)amino)quinazolin-6-yl)urea (ZCJ14), a novel epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor, with diarylurea moiety, displays anticancer effect. In the present study, an LCMS/MS method was established to determine the concentration of ZCJ14 in rat plasma. Furthermore, the method was applied to investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of ZCJ14. Chromatographic separation of ZCJ14 and internal standard (IS) [1-phenyl-3-(4-((3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)amino) quinazolin-6-yl)urea] was accomplished by gradient elution using the Kromasil C18 column. The selected reaction monitoring transitions were performed at m/z 507.24→436.18 and 424.13→330.96 for ZCJ14 and IS, resp. The established method was linear over the concentration range of 10–1000 ng mL−1. The intra- and inter-day precisions were < 11.0 % (except for LLOQ which was up to 14.3 %) and the respective accuracies were within the range of 87.5–99.0 %. The extraction recovery and matrix effect were within the range of 88.4–104.5 % and 87.3–109.9 %, resp. ZCJ14 was stable under all storage conditions. The validated method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of ZCJ14 in rats, and the pharmacokinetic parameters have been determined. The oral bioavailability of ZCJ14 was found to be 46.1 %. Overall, this accurate and reliable quantification method might be useful for other diarylurea moiety-containing drugs.

Lekethromycin, a new macrolide lactone, exhibits significant antibacterial activity. In this study, a reliable analytical ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization quadrupole Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-Orbitrap-MS) method was established and validated for the detection of lekethromycin in rat plasma. After a simple acetonitrile (ACN)-mediated plasma protein precipitation, chromatographic separation was performed on a Phenomenex Luna Omega PS C18 column (30 × 2.1 mm i.d. particle size = 3 μm) conducted in a gradient elution procedure using 0.5% formic acid (FA) in ACN and 0.5% FA in water as the mobile phase pumped at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. Detection was carried out under positive electrospray ionization (ESI+) conditions in parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) mode with observation of m/z 804.5580 > 577.4056 for lekethromycin and 777.5471 > 619.4522 for gamithromycin (internal standard, IS). The linear range was 5–1000 ng/mL (r2 > 0.99), and the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 5 ng/mL. The intra- and inter-day precision (expressed as relative standard deviation, RSD) values were ≤7.3% and ≤6.3%, respectively, and the accuracy was ≥90% ± 5.3%. The mean extraction recovery RSD valWeue was <5.1%. Matrix effects and dilution integrity RSD values were <5.6% and <3.2%, respectively. Lekethromycin was deemed stable under certain storage conditions. This fully validated method was effectively applied to study the pharmacokinetics of lekethromycin after a single intravenous administration of 5 mg/kg in rats. The main pharmacokinetic parameters were T1/2λz, CL_obs and VZ_obs were 32.33 ± 14.63 h, 0.58 ± 0.17 L/h/kg and 25.56 ± 7.93 L/kg, respectively.

Combination therapy is a common approach for clinical treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially for patients with poor monotherapy. Meta-analysis suggested that omarigliptin, a long-acting DPP-4 inhibitor, combined with pioglitazone might improve the side effects of pioglitazone. However, little is known about the pharmacokinetic properties after a coadministration. In this study, a rapid and reliable method for the simultaneous determination of the pioglitazone and omarigliptin in rat plasma by UHPLC-MS/MS was established and validated for the first time. An exsil mono C18 column (2.0 × 50 mm, 3 μm) was used to separate the analytes and the column temperature was kept at 30°C. Sitagliptin was selected as the internal standard. 0.02% formic acid aqueous solution (A) and methanol-acetonitrile (B) were used as mobile phases with gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The elution procedure was as follows: 20%B (0–0.1 min), 80%B (0.1–0.3 min), 80%B (0.3–2.0 min), and 20%B (2.1–3.0 min). A multiple reaction monitor (MRM) was used under positive ionization mode with electrospray ion source to detect pioglitazone (357.1 ⟶ 134.1), omarigliptin (399.2 ⟶ 153.0), and sitagliptin (408.2 ⟶ 235.0). The linear ranges of pioglitazone and omarigliptin were 5–2000 ng/mL and 10–4000 ng/mL, respectively. Good linear relationships were exhibited in the corresponding linear ranges (r ≥ 0.9944). The bioanalytical method was validated, and the selectivity, linearity, sensitivity, accuracy, precision, stability, recovery, and matrix effect were acceptable. The validated method was then successfully applied to pharmacokinetic study of pioglitazone combined with omarigliptin in rats. Results suggested that the combination of the two drugs had little effect on the pharmacokinetic parameters of each other in rats.

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.

Abstract Leaves of Platycladus orientalis have been used as blood cooling and homeostatic therapy for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine. Emerging evidences of modern pharmacology have proved flavonoids as the key elements responsible for the efficacies. However, there has been no report on pharmacokinetic study of the flavonoids from Platycladus orientalis leaves extract. In this study, a sensitive and rapid ultra-flow liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was established and validated for the simultaneous determination of amentoflavone, afzelin, hinokiflavone and quercitrin in rat plasma. The four flavonoids and luteolin (internal standard, IS) were recovered from rat plasma by methanol–ethyl acetate (v:v, 50:50). Chromatographic separation was performed on a C18 column with gradient elution. Our results showed that the recoveries from spiked control samples were more than 85% for all analytes and IS. The relative standard deviations of intra-day and inter-day precision were within 15% while the REs ranged from −6.6% to 8.0%. The validated method in this study was successfully applied to pharmacokinetic study in healthy rats after oral administration of P. orientalis leaves extract.

Background: TJAB1099 is a novel, highly active inhibitor of human enterovirus 71 (HEV71), which is a most commonly found virus leading to Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease (HFMD). However, the TJAB1099 could not be detected in the plasma using a regular HPLC-UV detection during the pharmacokinetic study due to the poor solubility, which in turn limited the release prior to be absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. Objective: The objectives of the present study were to improve the solubility of TJAB1099 by preparing formulation and develop an Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method applied to the pharmacokinetic study. Methods: The TJAB1099 was prepared as a phospholipid complex that intends to increase the watersolubility and subsequently improving TJAB1099 exposed in the circulation system. A highly sensitive UPLC-MS/MS method was developed for the pharmacokinetic study, in which the pharmacokinetic parameters were determined following oral and intravenous administration of 5 mg/kg and 1 mg/kg of TJAB1099 in rats, respectively. Results: The precisions for the method were less than 12.8%, while the accuracies were in the range of 90.8 - 98.0% and 96.1 - 99.6% for within-day and between-day, respectively. The mean recoveries for TJAB1099 and terfenadine (internal-standard, IS) were 85.0 ± 5.4% and 92.4 ± 4.1%, respectively. The pharmacokinetic study revealed that the Cmax of TJAB1099 after oral administration can reach 6.84 ± 2.43 ng/mL, while the Tmax is 0.70 ± 0.11 h. The AUC0-12 is 19.81 ± 11.07 µg/mL/h. However, the absorption was poor with an absolute oral bioavailability of 0.62. Conclusion: The UPLC-MS/MS method was successfully applied in the pharmacokinetic study of TJAB1099 in rats.
