A simple, rapid, and sensitive liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantitation of PA-824 and moxifloxacin in rat plasma using carbamazepine as an internal standard (IS). The sample preparation involved a one-step protein precipitation method with methanol. The separation was performed on Inertsil® ODS3 C18 column (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) and maintained at 30 °C. The mobile phase consisted of 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile–water (90:10 v/v) with fast isocratic elution at a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min and a run time of 10 min. A mass spectrometer was run in the positive ion electrospray ionization (ESI) mode using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) to monitor the mass transitions. The MRM transitions were chosen to be m/z 360.1 → m/z 175.0 for PA-824, m/z 402.0 → m/z 383.9 for moxifloxacin, and m/z 237.1 → m/z 194.0 for IS. The method was fully validated in terms of selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, matrix effect, recovery, and stability, respectively. The method was successfully applied to drug–drug interaction (DDI) study of PA-824 and moxifloxacin in rats. The results show that the main pharmacokinetic parameters of PA-824, namely, T max, t 1/2, and AUC(0–t), increased more in the PA-824 and moxifloxacin group than in the PA-824 group. However, there were little changes in the main pharmacokinetic parameters of moxifloxacin from single and combined groups.
Abstract
Perampanel (PER) is the first clinically available selective antagonist of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA) receptor approved globally for the treatment of epilepsy. Studies have recently underlined the significant association between dose-exposure-effect-adverse events of PER in patients with epilepsy, so the therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of PER is critical in clinical practices, especially for pediatric patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Due to several limits in previous published analytical methods, herein, we describe the development and validation of a novel liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for monitoring PER in human plasma samples. Protein precipitation method by acetonitrile containing PER-d5 as internal standard was applied for the sample clean-up. Formic acid (FA, 0.2 mM) in both aqueous water and acetonitrile were used as the mobile phases and the analyte was separated by an isocratic elution. Qualification and quantification were performed under positive electrospray ionization (ESI) mode using the m/z 350.3 → 219.1 and 355.3 → 220.0 ions pairs transitions for PER and PER-d5, respectively. Potential co-medicated anti-seizure medications (ASMs) have no interference to the analysis. Calibration curves were linear in the concentration range of 1.00–2,000 ng mL−1 for PER. The intra- and inter-batch precision, accuracy, recovery, dilution integrity, and stability of the method were all within the acceptable criteria and no matrix effect or carryover was found. This method was then successfully implemented on the TDM of PER in Chinese children with drug-resistant epilepsy. We firstly confirmed the apparent inter- and intra-individual PER concentration variabilities and potential drug-drug interactions between PER and several concomitant ASMs occurred in Chinese pediatric patients, which were also in line with previous studies in patients of other race.
A validated high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed to analyze the (±)-gossypol in the selection of strains of Candida tropicalis culture. Since gossypol was easily degraded and oxidized, the addition of antioxidant NADPH-Na4 and acetone extraction was chosen to prevent gossypol degradation and gradient elution assay was applied to obtain gossypol resolution. Concentrations of gossypol in C. tropicalis ZD-3 culture 20 μg/mL were determined, and concentration–time profiles were observed. Linearity of the gossypol standard curve by HPLC area method was ranged from 0.1 to 20 μg/mL with Y = 26.954 × X − 29.547, R 2 = 0.9991, and n = 3, with limit of detection (LOD) of 50 ng/mL and lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 500 ng/mL. The recovery rate is dose-dependent and ranged from 85.3% to 103.5%. It is a rapid and reliable HPLC method for gossypol quantization in microorganism culture which could be applied in solid fermentation in the feed industry.
