title: Development and validation of a nylon6 nanofibers mat-based SPE coupled with HPLC method for the determination of docetaxel in rabbit plasma and its application to the relative bioavailability study.
abstract: A simple and sensitive HPLC method was established and validated for the determination of docetaxel (DTX) in rabbit plasma. Biosamples were spiked with paclitaxel (PCX) as an internal standard (I.S.) and pre-treated by solid-phase extraction (SPE). The SPE procedure followed a simple protein digestion was based on nylon6 electrospun nanofibers mats as sorbents. Under optimized conditions, target analytes in 500 microL of plasma sample can be completely extracted by only 2.5mg nylon6 nanofibers mat and eluted by 100 microL solvent. The HPLC separation was obtained on C18 column and UV detector was used to quantify the target analytes. The extraction recovery was more than 85%; the standard curve was linear over the validated concentrations range of 10-5000 ng/mL and the limit of detection was 2 ng/mL. The inter-day coefficient of variation (CV%) of the calibration standards was below 5.0% and the mean accuracy was in the range of 92.8-113.4%. Moreover, analysing quality control plasma samples in 3 days, the results showed that the method was precise and accurate, for the intra- and inter-day CV% within 10% and the accuracy from 96.0% to 114.0%. The developed and validated method was successfully applied to relative bioavailability study for the preclinical evaluation of a new injectable DTX-sulfobutyl ether beta-cyclodextrin (DTX-SBE-beta-CD) inclusion complex freeze-dried powder (test preparation), compared with the reference preparation (DTX injection, Taxotere) in healthy rabbits. On the basis of the mean AUC(0-t) and AUC(0-infinity), the relative bioavailability of the test preparation was found to be 113.1%.
