High-performance liquid chromatographic assay of alpha-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(5-fluoro-2-pyrimidinyl)-1-piperazine butanol (BMY 14802), a potential antipsychotic drug, in monkey and rat plasma.
A high-performance liquid chromatographic-fluorescence method was developed for the quantitative analysis of BMY-14802 (I) in monkey and rat plasma. After the addition of the internal standard (BMY-14853 I.S.), 250 microliters of plasma were made basic by the addition of 2 ml of saturated sodium carbonate buffer. Compound I and the I.S. were then extracted into 5 ml of methyl tert.-butyl ether. The organic phase was evaporated and the resulting residue was reconstituted in mobile phase. Final separation and quantitation of I was achieved on an octadecyl column with a 0.05 M potassium phosphate-acetonitrile-triethylamine-85% phosphoric acid (650:350:0.1:0.05, v/v) mobile phase. Fluorescence detection was used to monitor the eluent at an excitation wavelength of 240 nm and an emission wavelength of 400 nm. The limit of detection was 0.5 ng/ml. The standard curve was linear over the range 5.0-1000 ng/ml. Intra-assay and inter-assay precision values were less than 4.0% relative standard deviation and accuracy was within 12% of nominal values. Compound I was shown to be stable in monkey and rat plasma for at least six months when stored at -20 degrees C.
