title: Determination of MKT-077, a novel antineoplastic agent, in plasma samples by high-performance liquid chromatography and its application to pharmacokinetics in rats.
abstract: A simple high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for determination of a novel antineoplastic agent MKT-077 in plasma. MKT-077 was extracted from 50 microl of plasma with acetonitrile containing 1 ml trifluoroacetic acid per liter. Chromatographic separation was achieved within 13.5 min using a reverse-phase Puresil C18 analytical column. A visible detector operated at 490 nm was used. The linearity of the calibration curve was obtained (r2 = 0.99986) over the analytical range of 10-500 ng/ml(-1). The intra- and inter-assay precision was in the range of 0.9-11.1 and 0.3-4.4%, respectively. The intra- and inter-assay bias ranged from -7.3 to 11.1% and from 0.4 to 11.6%, respectively. The utility of this assay was demonstrated after the administration of a single dose of MKT-077 to rats. The plasma elimination half-life of MKT-077 was 1.8-4 h.
