Simultaneous determination of etoposide and its catechol metabolite in the plasma of pediatric patients by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry

The anticancer drug etoposide is associated with leukemias with MLL gene translocations and other translocations as a treatment complication. The genotype of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), which converts etoposide to its catechol metabolite, influences the risk. In order to perform pharmacokinetic studies aimed at further elucidation of the translocation mechanism, we have developed and validated a liquid chromatography/electrospray/tandem mass spectrometry assay for the simultaneous analysis of etoposide and its catechol metabolite in human plasma. The etoposide analog teniposide was used as the internal standard. Liquid chromatography was performed on a YMC ODS-AQ column. Simultaneous determination of etoposide and its catechol metabolite was achieved using a small volume of plasma, so that the method is suitable for pediatric patients. The limits of detection were 200 ng ml(-1) etoposide and 10 ng ml(-1) catechol metabolite in human plasma and 25 ng ml(-1) etoposide and 2.5 ng ml(-1) catechol metabolite in protein-free plasma, respectively. Acceptable precision and accuracy were obtained for concentrations in the calibration curve ranges 0.2--100 microg ml(-1) etoposide and 10--5000 ng ml(-1) catechol metabolite in human plasma. Acceptable precision and accuracy for protein-free human plasma in the range 25--15 000 ng ml(-1) etoposide and 2.5--1500 ng ml(-1) etoposide catechol were also achieved. This method was selective and sensitive enough for the simultaneous quantitation of etoposide and its catechol as a total and protein-free fraction in small plasma volumes from pediatric cancer patients receiving etoposide chemotherapy. A pharmacokinetic model has been developed for future studies in large populations.     

HPLC determination of ferulic acid in rat plasma after oral administration of Rhizoma Chuanxiong and its compound preparation

An HPLC method is described for determination of ferulic acid in rat plasma. The concentration of ferulic acid in rat plasma was determined after deproteinization with acetonitrile using sulfamethoxazole as internal standard. Chromatographic separations were performed on a C(18) stationary phase with a mobile phase composed of acetonitrile-water (16:84, v/v) with 1% glacial acetic acid. The UV detection wavelength was set at 320 nm. The method was successfully applied to the determination of pharmacokinetic parameters in rat plasma after oral administration of Rhizoma Chuanxiong and and its compound preparation Suanzaoren decoctions. The calibration curve was linear over the range 0.0510-4.08 micro g/mL in rat plasma. Within-day and between-day precisions were less than 4.5% RSD. Mean recovery was determined as 96.9%. The limit of quantitation was 0.0510 micro g/mL. The pharmacokinetic parameters of the two preparations were different significantly (p < 0.05), which may attribute to the effects of other ingredients present in Suanzaoren decoction.

A highly sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the simultaneous quantification of midazolam and its major metabolites 1'-hydroxymidazolam and 4-hydroxymidazolam in human plasma was developed and validated. Stable isotope-labeled midazolam-D(4) and 1'-hydroxymidazolam-D(4) were used as internal standards. Compounds were extracted from 0.5 mL plasma by liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate-heptane (1:4). Chromatography was achieved using a Sunfire C(18) column. The mobile phase was a gradient with 10 m m formic acid in Milli-Q water and methanol at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. Total run time was 10 min. Detection was performed using a tandem mass spectrometer with positive electrospray ionization. Calibration curves were linear over the range of 0.10-50.0 ng/mL for midazolam and 0.025-25.0 ng/mL for both metabolites. For all compounds the lower limit of quantification was 0.10 ng/mL. Imprecision was assessed according to the NCCLS EP5-T guideline and was below 10% for all compounds. Mean recoveries were between 94 and 109% for midazolam and its metabolites. The validated method was successfully applied in a pharmacokinetic study investigating in vivo CYP3A-activity in a large cohort of renal allograft recipients using sub-therapeutic doses of midazolam as a drug-probe.

The applicability of this method for pharmacokinetic studies of ranitidine after oral administration are described. Approximately 90 samples can be processed in 24 h.     

Determination of exifone in human plasma and urine by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method with electrochemical detection was developed for the determination of exifone in human plasma and urine. Exifone was extracted from acidified plasma or neutralized urine with diethyl ether and the evaporated extracts were analysed on a C18 reversed-phase column. The compound was eluted in about 8 min with acetonitrile-0.3 M orthophosphoric acid (15:85, v/v) at a flow-rate of 0.9 ml/min. This method gave accurate and reproducible results; the calibration graphs were linear (r greater than 0.99) over the range of 2.8-360 nmol/l for plasma and 0.18-36 mumol/l for urine, and concentrations as low as 1 nmol/l in plasma could be quantified. These results allowed this assay to be used for determinations in single-dose pharmacokinetic studies.

Gas chromatographic method for determination of a piperazine derivative (Trelibet) and its metabolites in human plasma and urine

A sensitive gas chromatographic method was developed for the determination of Trelibet, 1-benzyl-4-(2'-pyridinecarbonyl)piperazine, and of its major metabolites in biological fluids. The compounds were extracted as bases into dichloromethane, and the extracts were analysed by a dimethylsilicone capillary column with a nitrogen-phosphorus flame-ionization detector. The lower limit of detection was 1 ng/ml for Trelibet and 5 ng/ml for the metabolites. Peak-area ratios of the compounds and internal standard were linearly correlated to their plasma concentrations between 1 and 1000 ng/ml. The method was used for quantification of Trelibet and two of its metabolites in depressed patients after oral administration of a single dose of 200 mg of Trelibet. Concentration data measured in plasma and urine showed that the method is sensitive enough to monitor concentrations both for pharmacokinetic studies and for plasma steady-state levels daily.

The effectiveness of borneol on pharmacokinetics changes of four ginsenosides in Shexiang Baoxin Pill in vivo

Shexiang Baoxin Pill (SBP) is a traditional Chinese medicine, widely used for cardiovascular diseases in the clinic. Ginsenosides are important effective components in SBP, but their pharmacokinetic characteristics are still not known. In this paper, we studied the pharmacokinetics of ginsenoside Rb1, Rc, Re and Rg1 in SBP and investigated the effect of borneol on the pharmacokinetic characteristic of ginsenosides based on an Agilent G6410A triple quadrupole LC/MS system. Results showed that the pharmacokinetic parameters of ginsenoside Rb1, Rc, Re and Rg1 in rat plasma after oral administration of SBP are significantly different with oral administration of SBP without Borneolum Syntheticum. Plasma pharmacokinetic profiles after oral administration of ginsenoside Rb1, Rc, Re, Rg1 and co‐administration with borneol at three different ratios (10:1, 1:1 and 1:10 ginsenoside vs borneol, w/w) were also determined. It was demonstrated that borneol can elevate the plasma concentration of ginsenosides after co‐admininstration. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The method showed a satisfactory sensitivity (2 ng/mL using 50 microL plasma), precision (CV: < or = 6.6%), accuracy (relative error: -6.3 to 2.0%), and selectivity. This method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of HM-30181 and paclitaxel in rat plasma after oral-coadministration of paclitaxel and HM-30181 to male Sprague- Dawley rats.     

Stereoselective determination of the enantiomers of methadone in plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography.

An enantioselective high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for the quantification of methadone in human and beagle plasma is described. The procedure involves extraction of methadone from alkalized plasma into hexane-isoamyl alcohol (99:1, v/v).
