title: A simplified analytical method for a phenotyping cocktail of major CYP450 biotransformation routes.
abstract: An efficient, fast and reliable analytical method was developed for the simultaneous evaluation of the activities of five major human drug metabolising cytochrome P450 (1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6 and 3A4) with a cocktail approach including five probe substances, namely caffeine, flurbiprofen, omeprazole, dextromethorphan and midazolam. All substances were administered simultaneously and a single plasma sample was obtained 2h after the administration. Plasma samples were handled by liquid-liquid extraction and analysed by gradient high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to UV and fluorescence detectors. The chromatographic separation was achieved using a Discovery semi-micro HS C18 HPLC column (5 microm particle size, 150 mm x 2.1 mm i.d.) protected by a guard column (5 microm particle size, 20 mm x 2.1 mm i.d.) The mobile phase was constituted of a methanol, acetonitrile and 20mM ammonium acetate (pH 4.5) with 0.1% triethylamine mixture and was delivered at a flow rate of 0.3 mL min(-1). All substances were separated simultaneously in a single run lasting less than 22 min. The HPLC method was formally validated and showed good performances in terms of linearity, sensitivity, precision and accuracy. Finally, the method was found suitable for the screening of these compounds in plasma samples.
