Abstract: | An ultra‐performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometric (UPLC‐MS/MS) method was developed and validated to determine AV‐45 in rat plasma. After the addition of the internal standard benzophenone, plasma samples were pretreated by protein precipitation. Chromatographic separation was achieved on an Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column (50 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 µm) by gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. Detection of analytes and internal standard (IS) was done by tandem mass spectrometry, operating in positive‐ion and multiple reaction monitoring mode. The method was fully validated for its sensitivity, selectivity, accuracy and precision, matrix effect and stability study. The calibration curve showed good linearity over the concentration range 2.00–1000 ng/mL for AV‐45. Intra‐ and inter‐day precisions were less than 7.6%, and accuracy ranged from 100.6 to 107.8%. There was no matrix effect. The validated method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of AV‐45 in rats. Additionally, the metabolism of AV‐45 in rat liver microsomes was also studied by ultra‐performance liquid chromatography combined with time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/TOF‐MS). With the help of chromatographic behavior and accurate mass measurements, the metabolites were characterized. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
