Abstract
Ricobendazole hydrochloride is an active ingredient of a veterinary antiparasitic drug. The aim of this study was to investigate the degradation of ricobendazole hydrochloride under stress and stability testing conditions, for which we developed and validated the first stability indicating, specific, precise, accurate, and robust assay and related substances UPLC methods. The Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column was used for the related substances and assay analyses of ricobendazole hydrochloride, and the analyses were performed at 25 °C sample and 30 °C column temperatures with a 2 µL injection volume. In both methods, a mixture of water and methanol (60:40, v/v) was used as the diluent, mobile phase A was a phosphate buffer (50 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, pH 3.2 ± 0.05, adjusted with 10% o-phosphoric acid), and mobile phase B was a mixture of mobile phase A and acetonitrile (50:50, v/v). For the analysis of related substances, a gradient elution system was used at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min for 35 min with a detection wavelength of 220 nm, while for the assay analysis; a gradient elution system was used at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min for 15 min with a detection wavelength of 290 nm. The calibration curves showed excellent linearity with high R-squared (R2) values for each compound, ricobendazole (0.9998, 0.249 - 3.740 µg/mL), ricobendazole amine (0.9998, 0.255 - 3.819 µg/mL), albendazole (0.9998, 0.255 - 7.646 µg/mL), and albendazole sulfone (1.0000, 0.251 - 15.090 µg/mL) indicating a strong correlation between the concentrations of the compounds and their respective peak areas in the UPLC analysis. The method showed excellent accuracy with relative standard deviation values of less than 2.5%. The stress and photostability studies showed that ricobendazole hydrochloride was insensitive to daylight and UV radiation and showed significant degradation at elevated temperature (85 °C, 9 days) and under all hydrolysis and oxidation conditions. The major impurity was ricobendazole amine under thermal and hydrolysis conditions, while albendazole sulfone was the major oxidative impurity.

Abstract
A fast, simple and efficient ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection (UPLC-FLD) method for the determination of residues of albendazole (ABZ) and its three metabolites, albendazole sulfone (ABZ-SO2), albendazole sulfoxide (ABZ-SO), and albendazole-2-aminosulfone (ABZ-2NH2-SO2), in pig and poultry muscle (chicken, duck and goose) was established. The samples were extracted with ethyl acetate, and the extracts were further subjected to cleanup by utilizing a series of liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) steps. Then, extracts were purified by OASIS® PRiME hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges (60 mg/3 mL). The target compounds were separated on an ACQUITY UPLC® BEH C18 (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 1.7 μm) chromatographic column, using a mobile phase composed of 31% acetonitrile and 69% aqueous solution (containing 0.2% formic acid and 0.05% triethylamine). The limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantification (LOQs) of the four target compounds in pig and poultry muscle were 0.2-3.8 µg/kg and 1.0-10.9 µg/kg, respectively. The recoveries were all above 80.37% when the muscle samples were spiked with the four target compounds at the LOQ, 0.5 maximum residue limit (MRL), 1.0 MRL, and 2.0 MRL levels. The intraday relative standard deviations (RSDs) were less than 5.11%, and the interday RSDs were less than 6.29%.

High-Fat Breakfast Increases Bioavailability of Albendazole Compared to Low-Fat Breakfast: Single-Dose Study in Healthy Subjects. Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:664465. [PMID: 33935787 PMCID: PMC8082448 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.664465] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2021] [Accepted: 03/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose: Albendazole is a benzimidazole carbamate drug with anthelmintic and antiprotozoal activity against intestinal and tissue parasites. It has been described that the administration with meals increases albendazole absorption. Our aim was to compare the systemic exposure in healthy volunteers of two albendazole formulations after a single oral dose under fed conditions and to evaluate the effect of breakfast composition on albendazole and albendazole sulfoxide bioavailability. Methods: 12 healthy volunteers were included in a 4-period, 4-sequence, crossover, open, randomized, bioequivalence clinical trial, including two stages to compare two formulations of albendazole. Single oral doses of 400 mg albendazole were administered under fed conditions (a low-fat breakfast in first stage and a high-fat breakfast in the second) separated by 7-day washout periods. Plasma albendazole and albendazole sulfoxide concentrations were measured by HPLC-MS/MS. Findings: Albendazole absorption was clearly influenced by the meal composition. A high-fat breakfast increased albendazole and albendazole sulfoxide area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) by double, compared to a low-fat breakfast. The bioavailability of the two formulations was very similar, although the sample size was not sufficient to demonstrate bioequivalence because the intraindividual variability of albendazole was approximately 60%. Implications: The higher albendazole and albendazole sulfoxide levels when administered with a high-fat meal could be of importance in clinical practice. Since albendazole labeling recommends its administration with meals, it is necessary to insist on taking it with a fatty meal so that the effectiveness of albendazole is not compromised.

Abstract
In this research study, a method of dispersive-micro-solid phase extraction (D-µ-SPE) combined with molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (MIP-NPs) with HPLC-UV was developed for the fast and selective detection of the trace amount of albendazole sulfoxide (ABZSO) in the biological samples. To investigate the effective factors on ABZSO microextraction by the method, central composite design (CCD) was utilized, and the optimum conditions for ABZSO microextraction were sample pH of 8.0, MIP-mass of 15 mg, sonication time of 12 min, and eluent (methanol) volume of 0.25 mL. Under the obtained optimal extraction conditions, the value for the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) was respectively showed to be 0.074 and 0.246 ng mL-1. In addition, the calculated peak areas exhibited a linear relationship with the ABZSO concentration ranging from 0.4 to 4200 ng mL-1. The analyses of the samples including human plasma and urine, and water were successfully performed by the usage of the D-µ-SPE method, which was a simple and sensitive technique and a suitable alternative for the analysis of ABZSO. In the analysis of ABZSO in various samples, the recoveries at various levels of ABZSO concentrations (50, 300, and 500 ng mL-1) were in the range of 95.7-103.0 %, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs; n = 3) varied from 2.2 to 4.4%.

Abstract
Albendazole (ABZ) is the first-line drug in treating echinococcosis, which is recommended by WHO. To address the poor bioavailability of albendazole, liposomal albendazole was formulated and is available in our hospital for many years. In this study, a sensitive, reliable and accurate UPLC-Q-TOF-MS method was developed and validated for the determination of albendazole and its metabolites, albendazole sulfoxide (ABZSO), albendazole sulfone (ABZSO2) and albendazole-2-aminosulfone (ABZSO2NH2) in naturally echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus) infected sheep plasma and tissues with mebendazole (MBZ) as the internal standard (IS). Plasma and tissues samples were prepared by protein precipitation method. The separation was performed on an ACQUITY UPLC® BEH C18 column (2.1 × 50 mm, 1.7 μm) with a gradient mobile phase consisting of methanol and water containing 0.1% formic acid at 0.4 mL/min. The detection was performed on a quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) high-resolution mass spectrometer using positive electrospray ionization (ESI) source with a chromatographic run time of 6.0 min. The detection was operated using target ions of [M + H]+ at m/z 266.096 for ABZ, m/z 282.091 for ABZSO, m/z 298.086 for ABZSO2, m/z 240.081 for ABZSO2NH2 and m/z 296.104 for IS in selective ion mode, respectively. This method was validated in terms of selectivity, linearity, precision, accuracy, recovery, matrix effect, dilution effect, carryover effects, stability, calibration curve and LLOQ. All validation parameter results were within the acceptable range described in guideline for bioanalytical method validation. This method has been successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study following single and multiple oral dose of 10 mg/kg liposomal albendazole, and tissue distribution study following multiple oral dose of 10 mg/kg, with emulsion albendazole as the reference preparation. The results in the article will provide valuable information for use in clinical applications of liposomal albendazole and also be beneficial for further development of liposomal albendazole in future studies.

Abstract
Abstract
Herein, an organic–inorganic hybrid molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was successfully synthesized with albendazole sulfoxide (ABZSO) as a template and 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate, a bifunctional group compound, as a single cross-linking agent. In this study, a simple method using HPLC–DAD was developed for the determination of ABZSO enantiomers in human urine using pipette tip-based molecularly imprinted polymer solid phase extraction (PT–MIP–SPE). Enantioseparation with satisfactory retention times (5.17 and 7.09 min), acceptable theoretical plates (N = 4,535 and 5,091) and strong resolution (Rs = 5.45) was performed with an Agilent® Eclipse Plus C18 (100 mm × 4.6 mm, 3.5 μm) coupled with a Chiralpak® IA column (100 mm × 4.6 mm, 3 μm), a mixture with ethanol:water (50:50, v/v) as the mobile phase, temperature at 40°C, flow rate at 0.9 mL min−1 and λ = 230 nm. Thereafter, certain parameters affecting the PT–MIP–SPE were investigated in detail and the better conditions were: 300 μL of water as washing solvent, 500 μL of ethanol:acetic acid (9:1, v/v) as eluting solvent, 20 mg of MIP, 500 μL of human urine at pH 9 and no addition of NaCl. Recoveries/relative standard deviation (RSD%) for (R)-(+)-ABZSO and (S)-(−)-ABZSO were 78.2 ± 0.2% and 69.7 ± 1.7%, respectively.

Pharmacokinetics of Albendazole, Albendazole Sulfoxide, and Albendazole Sulfone Determined from Plasma, Blood, Dried-Blood Spots, and Mitra Samples of Hookworm-Infected Adolescents. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2019; 63:AAC.02489-18.

Abstract
Albendazole is an effective anthelmintic intensively used for decades. However, profound pharmacokinetic (PK) characterization is missing in children, the population mostly affected by helminth infections. Blood microsampling would facilitate PK studies in pediatric populations but has not been applied to quantify albendazole's disposition. Quantification methods were developed and validated using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to analyze albendazole and its metabolites albendazole sulfoxide and albendazole sulfone in wet samples (plasma and blood) and blood microsamples (dried-blood spots [DBS]; Mitra). The use of DBS was limited by a matrix effect and poor recovery, but the extraction efficiency was constant throughout the concentration range. Hookworm-infected adolescents were venous and capillary blood sampled posttreatment with 400 mg albendazole and 25 mg/kg oxantel pamoate. Similar half-life (t 1/2 = ∼1.5 h), time to reach the maximum concentration (t max = ∼2 h), and maximum concentration (C max = 12.5 to 26.5 ng/ml) of albendazole were observed in the four matrices. The metabolites reached C max after ∼4 h with a t 1/2 of ca. 7 to 8 h. A statistically significant difference in albendazole sulfone's t 1/2 as determined by using DBS and wet samples was detected. C max of albendazole sulfoxide (288 to 380 ng/ml) did not differ among the matrices, but higher C max of albendazole sulfone were obtained in the two microsampling devices (22 ng/ml) versus the wet matrices (14 ng/ml). In conclusion, time-concentration profiles and PK results of the four matrices were similar, and the direct comparison of the two microsampling devices indicates that Mitra extraction was more robust during validation and can be recommended for future albendazole PK studies.

LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of diethylcarbamazine, albendazole and albendazole metabolites in human plasma: Application to a clinical pharmacokinetic study. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2017; 151:84-90. [PMID: 29310051 PMCID: PMC5814678 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2017.12.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2017] [Revised: 12/19/2017] [Accepted: 12/19/2017] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
The first LC–MS/MS method of diethylcarbamazine and albendazole along with its active metabolites. The method was successfully applied to analyze clinical samples. The highly sensitive and selective LC–MS/MS method for routine pharmacokinetic application. This method is useful for drug–drug interaction or TDM studies of diethylcarbamazine and albendazole in Lymphatic filariasis therapy.
Combination therapy with anti-filarial drugs is now widely used for treatment of lymphatic filariasis. A rapid, selective, and sensitive liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method was developed and validated for simultaneous quantitation of diethylcarbamazine (DEC), albendazole (ABZ) and albendazole metabolites in human plasma. Separation and detection of analytes were achieved on a reversed phase column (Acquity UPLC®BEH C18 column (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) with gradient elution using 0.05% formic acid in methanol and 0.05% formic acid as mobile phase. Solid phase extraction was utilized for elution of analytes from the matrix. Thereafter, analytes were monitored by using MS/MS with electrospray ionization source in positive multiple reaction monitoring mode. The MS/MS response was linear over the concentration range from 0.1–200 ng/mL for ABZ and ABZ-ON, 0.5–1000 ng/mL for ABZ-OX and 1–2000 ng/mL for DEC with a correlation coefficient (r2) of 0.998 or better. The within- and between-batch precisions (relative standard deviation, % RSD) and the accuracy (% bias) were within the acceptable limits as per FDA guideline. The validated method was successfully applied to the clinical pharmacokinetic study. Due to high sensitivity and low requirement of sample volume, the method will be applicable for therapeutic drug monitoring of this regimen.

Abstract
A new, simple, accurate and precise high-performance thin-layer chromatographic method has been developed and validated for simultaneous determination of an anthelmintic drug, albendazole, and its active metabolite albendazole, sulfoxide. Planar chromatographic separation was performed on aluminum-backed layer of silica gel 60G F254 using a mixture of toluene-acetonitrile-glacial acetic acid (7.0:2.9:0.1, v/v/v) as the mobile phase. For quantitation, the separated spots were scanned densitometrically at 225 nm. The retention factors (Rf ) obtained under the established conditions were 0.76 ± 0.01 and 0.50 ± 0.01 and the regression plots were linear (r2 ≥ 0.9997) in the concentration ranges 50-350 and 100-700 ng/band for albendazole and albendazole sulfoxide, respectively. The method was validated for linearity, specificity, accuracy (recovery) and precision, repeatability, stability and robustness. The limit of detection and limit of quantitation found were 9.84 and 29.81 ng/band for albendazole and 21.60 and 65.45 ng/band for albendazole sulfoxide, respectively. For plasma samples, solid-phase extraction of analytes yielded mean extraction recoveries of 87.59 and 87.13% for albendazole and albendazole sulfoxide, respectively. The method was successfully applied for the analysis of albendazole in pharmaceutical formulations with accuracy ≥99.32%.

Abstract
An improved high performance liquid chromatography--tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method has been developed for sensitive and rapid determination of albendazole (ABZ) and its active metabolite, albendazole sulfoxide (ABZSO), in the positive ionization mode. The method utilized solid phase extraction (SPE) for sample preparation of the analytes and their deuterated internal standards (ISs) from 100 µL human plasma. The chromatography was carried out on Hypurity C18 column using acetonitrile-2.0 mM ammonium acetate, pH 5.0 (80:20, v/v) as the mobile phase. The assay exhibited a linear response over the concentration range of 0.200–50.0 ng/mL for ABZ and 3.00–600 ng/mL for ABZSO. The recoveries of the analytes and ISs ranged from 86.03%–89.66% and 89.85%–98.94%, respectively. Matrix effect, expressed as IS-normalized matrix factors, ranged from 0.985 to 1.042 for the both analytes. The method was successfully applied for two separate studies in healthy subjects using single dose of 400 mg conventional tablets and 400 mg chewable ABZ tablets, respectively.

ANNALES PHARMACEUTIQUES FRANÇAISES 2015; 74:21-6. [PMID: 26530448 DOI: 10.1016/j.pharma.2015.09.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2015] [Revised: 09/10/2015] [Accepted: 09/15/2015] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
The comparative pharmacokinetic behavior of albendazole (ABZ) and its new benzimidazol prodrug [1-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-5-propylthio-1-H-benzimidazol-2ylcarbamate of methyl] (ABZBoc), following their oral administration (10mg/kg) to healthy dogs was explored. Blood samples were obtained serially over a 24h period after treatment, then the plasma was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to search the albendazole metabolites (ABZSO and ABZSO2). However, the albendazole parent drug was not detectable at any time after both treatments (ABZ and ABZBoc). By albendazole metabolites (ABZSO and ABZSO2) were the analytes recovered in the plasma after oral administration of ABZ and ABZBoc. Furthermore, some amounts of ABZBoc were also available in the plasma samples treated with this new produg. The plasma profile of each analyte followed a similar pattern after both treatments, the active metabolite (ABZSO) was the major analyte recovered in plasma (between 1 and 24h post-treatment). The pharmacokinetic parameters of both groups were calculated (Cmax, Tmax, t1/2, AUC0-›∞), and analyzed using the Student's t-test, P<0.05. Thus,the pharmacokinetic analysis indicated four statistically significant changes in the pharmacokinetic parameters defined above of the albendazole metabolites (ABZSO, ABZSO2) between the group treated with albendazole (group A) and that treated with ABZBoc prodrug (group B). Hence, the levels of the various pharmacokinetics parameters were low in the group treated with prodrug, as well they did not reach equivalent concentrations to that of albendazole. These differences between albendazole and its new prodrug may be explained by the fact that ABZBoc prodrug was not effectively reduced in the intestine of dogs.
