This study aimed to develop and validate a sensitive liquid chromatography-coupled tandem mass spectrometry method for the quantification of LDD-2614, an indirubin derivative and novel FLT3 inhibitor, in rat plasma. In addition, the developed analytical method was applied to observe the pharmacokinetic properties of LDD-2614. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Luna omega C18 column using a mixture of water and acetonitrile, both containing 0.1% formic acid. Quantitation was performed using positive electrospray ionization in a multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The MRM transitions were optimized as m/z 426.2→113.1 for LDD-2614 and m/z 390.2→113.1 for LDD-2633 (internal standard), and the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for LDD-2614 was determined as 0.1 ng/mL. Including the LLOQ, the nine-point calibration curve was linear with a correlation coefficient greater than 0.9991. Inter- and intraday accuracies (RE) ranged from −3.19% to 8.72%, and the precision was within 9.02%. All validation results (accuracy, precision, matrix effect, recovery, stability, and dilution integrity) met the acceptance criteria of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Korea Ministry of Food and Drug Safety guidelines. The proposed method was validated and demonstrated to be suitable for the quantification of LDD-2614 for pharmacokinetics studies.

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.

As a novel monoterpenoid indole alkaloid, gardneramine has been confirmed to possess excellent nervous depressive effects. However, there have been no reports about the measurement of gardneramine in vitro and in vivo. The motivation of this study was to establish and validate a specific, sensitive, and robust analytical method based on UHPLC-MS/MS for quantification of gardneramine in rat plasma and various tissues after intravenous administration. The analyte was extracted from plasma and tissue samples by protein precipitation with methanol using theophylline as an internal standard (I.S.). The analytes were separated on an Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18 column using a gradient elution of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid in water at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. Gardneramine and I.S. were detected and quantified using positive electrospray ionization in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode with transitions of m/z 413.1→217.9 for gardneramine and m/z 181.2→124.1 for I.S.. Perfect linearity range was 1–2000 ng/mL with a correlation coefficient (r2) of ≥0.990. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 1.0 ng/mL was adequate for application to different preclinical studies. The method was successfully applied for determination of gardneramine in bio-samples.

Abstract Glaucocalyxin A, a novel potent negative Akt regulator, is a major active constituent of Rabdosia japonica. A simple, specific and sensitive ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the quantification of glaucocalyxin A in rat plasma, lung and brain tissues after intravenous administration. Sample preparation was carried out through a simple liqiud–liquid extraction with ethyl acetate using bullatine A as internal standard. The chromatographic separation was achieved by using an Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18 column (3.0 mm × 100 mm, 1.8 μm) with a mobile phase of acetonitrile and water containing 0.1% formic acid in a gradient elution. Mass spectrometry analysis was conducted in positive ionization mode with multiple reaction monitoring transitions at m/z 333.2 → 157.1 for glaucocalyxin A and m/z 344.2 → 128.1 for IS. Calibration curves were linear over the ranges of 20.0–4000 ng/mL for both plasma and tissue samples (r2 > 0.99). The Lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 0.284 ng/mL. The intra-day and inter-day precision relative standard deviation (RSD%) were <14.9%, while the accuracy ranged from −12.5 to 17.0% for LLOQ and quality control samples. This UHPLC–MS/MS method was successfully applied in the pharmacokinetics, lung and brain tissue distributions of glaucocalyxin A after intravenous administration.

Liensinine, an important alkaloid in lotus seed, exhibits multiple functions such as anti-AIDS, anticancer, antidepressant, and antihypertensive properties. In this study, a highly sensitive HPLC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the quantification of liensinine in microvolume rat plasma as low as 45 μL. Chromatographic separation was carried out using a reverse-phase Gemini-C18 column (100 mm × 3 mm i.d. × 5 μm), and mass selective detection using multiple reaction monitoring was attained using an electrospray ionization source, which operated in the positive mode. Dauricine was used as the internal standard. The precursor-to-product ion transition m/z 611.15 > 206.10 was selected for the detection of liensinine; m/z 625.25 > 206.10 was used for the detection of dauricine. The developed method is linear over the concentration range of 0.05–1000 ng/mL with an excellent coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.991). The recoveries ranged from 92.57% to 95.88% at three quality control levels. Intraday and interday precision and accuracy are less than 12.2% and 6.59%, respectively. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) is 0.05 ng/mL. The matrix effect was insignificant and acceptable. The validated method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of liensinine in rats. This method can be used for in vivo studies as well as quality control of traditional Chinese medicines and herbal tea containing liensinine alkaloid.

Anlotinib is a novel inhibitor of receptor kinase tyrosine with multitargets and has a broad spectrum of inhibitory action on tumor angiogenesis and growth. A simple and rapid UHPLC-MS/MS bioanalytical method was validated for the determination of anlotinib in rat plasma, using imatinib as an internal standard. An Acquity BEH C18 column was used to separate analytes. The eluents consisted of formic acid/water (0.1 : 100, v/v) and acetonitrile with a mobile phase. A triple quadrupole mass spectrometer was operated for the quantification with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) to determine transitions: 408.2 ⟶ 339.1 for anlotinib, and 494.3 ⟶ 394.1 for imatinib. The validated range was 0.1–50 ng/mL for anlotinib. Mean recovery rate of anlotinib in plasma was ≥99.32% and reproducible. Also, the intra- and interday precisions were both below 15%. This robust method was successfully applied to support the pharmacokinetic study of anlotinib in rats.
