LC–MS Determination and Pharmacokinetic Study of a Novel Sulfonylurea: Potential Hypoglycemic Agent in Rat Plasma

To support preclinical pharmacokinetic investigation of 1-[4-[2-(4-bromobenzene-sulfonaminoethyl)phenylsufonyl]-3-(trans-4-methylcyclohexyl)urea (G004), a rapid, sensitive and specific high-performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC–ESI-MS) method was developed and validated. Glibenclamide was employed as internal standard. After liquid–liquid extraction the analyte was analyzed on a Kromasil C₁₈ column (150 × 2.0 mm i.d.) with a mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile–water (0.05% acetic acid), 30:70 (v/v). The flow rate was 0.2 mL min⁻¹. Detection was performed on a quadrupole mass spectrometer using an electrospray ionization interface and the selected-ion monitoring (SIM) mode. The retention time was about 3.5 and 4.2 min for Glibenclamide and G004, respectively. The assay was linear over the concentration range of 2.0–500.0 ng mL⁻¹. Extraction Recovery of G004 in rat plasma was more than 87%. The intra- and inter-assay precision was lower than 11.5% (CV). This validated method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetics of G004 in rats.

Synthesis of fluorescent dendritic 8-hydroxyquinoline ligands and investigation on their coordinated Zn(II) complexes

A series of luminescent PAMAM dendrons emanating from 8-hydroxyquinoline have been synthesized and their coordination with Zn(II) was investigated for the first time. The obtained dendritic Zn(II) complexes were soluble in common organic solvents. It was found that the luminescence intensity of G2 dendron 6 was higher than that of G1 dendron 4. Furthermore, when they were coordinated with Zn(II), red-shift was observed and the intensities of the coordinated Zn(II) complexes were higher than that of the corresponding ligands.
