Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric method for determination of E121 in mouse plasma and its application to pharmacokinetics.
A rapid LC-MS/MS method for quantification of an enaminone analog, E121 in mouse plasma using E118 as an internal standard (IS) has been developed and validated. The analyte was analyzed on C(18) column using a mobile phase of acetonitrile/methanol/ammonium acetate/formic acid (60:20:20:0.025, v/v/v/v) at a flow rate of 0.25 mL/min. Quantitation was achieved using ESI+ interface, employing MRM mode at m/z 308>262 and 222>194 for E121 and IS, respectively. The calibration standards were linear over a range of 0.10-20 microg/mL (r(2)>0.99) with an LLOQ of 0.1 microg/mL (RSD%; 11.4% and bias%; 9.5%). Intra- and inter-run precision of E121 assay ranged from 3.7 to 10.9% with accuracy (bias) that varied between -10.0 and 12.0%, demonstrating good precision and accuracy. Recoveries of E121 and the IS from plasma were above 80%. Stability of E121 in plasma showed that the analyte was stable under various conditions. The matrix effect study showed a lack of effect. The applicability of the developed method was demonstrated by measuring E121 in mouse plasma samples following intraperitoneal administration of various doses ranging from 10 to 100 mg/kg and this study demonstrates that E121 exhibits linear kinetics in the dose range studied.
