Abstract
Aim: An eco-friendly ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed to study the pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban and ticagrelor in rat plasma, utilizing moxifloxacin as an internal standard. The food-drug interaction between grapefruit juice and these drugs was also investigated. Methods: Liquid-liquid extraction was used. A nonporous stationary phase Agilent® Poroshell 120EC C18 column was used with methanol: 0.1% aqueous formic acid (95:5 v/v) as a mobile phase. The detection was performed in multiple reaction monitoring mode using positive electrospray ionization. The method's validation was conducted in accordance with US FDA and European Medicines Agency guidelines. Results & conclusion: Grapefruit juice should be ingested with caution in patients treated with antithrombotic medications as it may increase their plasma concentration, inducing bleeding, and requires close clinical monitoring.

Abstract
A method using micellar electrokinetic chromatography coupled with large-volume sample stacking for the determination of ticagrelol was developed and validated. The analysis was performed in a fused silica capillary (41.5 cm effective length, 50 μm diameter) with ultraviolet detection at 195 nm. The background electrolytes were 30 mM phosphate buffer of pH 3.0 with 120 mM sodium dodecylsulfate and 10 % (v/v) acetonitrile (120 s X 50 mbar; 20°C; -18 kV) and 30 mM borate buffer of pH 8.5 with 75 mM sodium dodecylsulfate (120 s X 50 mbar; 20°C; 25 kV); under acidic and alkaline conditions, respectively. The method was found to be reliable with respect to specificity, linearity of the calibration line (R2 > 0.99), repeatability (relative standard deviation 2.56%-3.34%), and accuracy (recovery in the range 101.21%-102.67%). The limits of detection and quantitation were 0.032, 0.071, and 0.087, 0.188 μg/mL, respectively. The method was successfully applied for the determination of ticagrelol concentrations in rat plasma and tablets with good recoveries and reproducibility. The presented method proved to be suitable for monitoring ticagrelor in rat plasma.

Abstract
A simple HPLC method was developed for the determination of antiplatelet drug ticagrelor (TCG) in blood. Sample preparation and extraction conditions were investigated and optimized. The preparation of blood plasma was investigated by protein precipitation using perchloric acid, methanol, acetonitrile (ACN), and trifluoroacetic acid. Protein precipitation using ACN was found to be the most suitable. Chromatographic separation of TCG was performed on a C18 column with a mobile phase consisting of ACN and 15 mM ammonium acetate buffered at pH 8.0. The method was applied to determine TCG in blood plasma of patients who had a heart attack. Blood samples were collected 1.5 h after the administration of the initial loading dose of the antiplatelet drug. The average concentration of TCG was found to be 0.97 ± 0.53 μg/ml. The developed method proved to be very selective, without interferences from other endogenous substances and the influences of possible coadministered drugs. The limits of detection and quantification estimated by the signal-to-noise ratio in real samples were 0.24 and 0.4 μg/ml, respectively. The developed method is simple and can be easily applied in clinics and emergency cardiac situations after the initial loading dose of TCG in the first few hours of a heart attack.

Validation of an HPLC-MS/MS Method for the Determination of Plasma Ticagrelor and Its Active Metabolite Useful for Research and Clinical Practice. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26020278.

Abstract
Ticagrelor is an antiplatelet agent which is extensively metabolized in an active metabolite: AR-C124910XX. Ticagrelor antagonizes P2Y12 receptors, but recently, this effect on the central nervous system has been linked to the development of dyspnea. Ticagrelor-related dyspnea has been linked to persistently high plasma concentrations of ticagrelor. Therefore, there is a need to develop a simple, rapid, and sensitive method for simultaneous determination of ticagrelor and its active metabolite in human plasma to further investigate the link between concentrations of ticagrelor, its active metabolite, and side effects in routine practice. We present here a new method of quantifying both molecules, suitable for routine practice, validated according to the latest Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines, with a good accuracy and precision (<15% respectively), except for the lower limit of quantification (<20%). We further describe its successful application to plasma samples for a population pharmacokinetics study. The simplicity and rapidity, the wide range of the calibration curve (2–5000 µg/L for ticagrelor and its metabolite), and high throughput make a broad spectrum of applications possible for our method, which can easily be implemented for research, or in daily routine practice such as therapeutic drug monitoring to prevent overdosage and occurrence of adverse events in patients.

Abstract
The new antiplatelet drug ticagrelor has been determined based on its native fluorescence properties. These properties were studied and optimized to develop fast, simple and sensitive spectrofluorimetric method. The study included two approaches. The first approach is depending on measuring the native fluorescence at 300 nm after excitation at 222 nm. While the second approach combined synchronous and derivative scanning modes to measure ticagrelor at 286 nm using Δ λ = 100 nm. Ticagrelor was measured in aqueous solution starting from the concentration of 200 to 5000 ng/mL in both native and first derivative synchronous approaches. The developed methods were validated in accordance with ICH guidelines to be acceptable for quality control laboratories. Lowest concentrations that could be quantitated using the native and first derivative synchronous methods were 189 and 151 ng/mL while lowest detectable concentrations were 63 and 50 ng/mL, respectively. Moreover, the derivative synchronous fluorimetric approach was utilized to determine ticagrelor at 286 nm in presence of other commonly co- administered drugs and the results demonstrate the enhanced selectivity of the proposed method. The same approach was also used to determine ticagrelor in rat plasma with acceptable recoveries. A preliminary pharmacokinetic study in rats was conducted and could be used to monitor plasma ticagrelor levels in humans.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ticagrelor is an antiplatelet agent approved for the treatment of patients with an acute coronary syndrome or a history of myocardial infarction. Considering the evidence demonstrating that ticagrelor-mediated inhibition of platelet activation and aggregation have beneficial effects in the treatment of thrombotic conditions, clinical studies have been conducted to evaluate the use of this drug for the treatment of sickle cell disease (SCD), demonstrating satisfactory tolerability and safety. AREAS COVERED Clinical investigation has characterized the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamical profile, as well as the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor to prevent painful vaso-occlusive crisis (painful episodes and acute chest syndrome) in SCD patients. EXPERT OPINION While phase 1 and 2 clinical trials demonstrated satisfactory tolerability and safety, the conclusion of phase 3 clinical trials is crucial to prove the efficacy of ticagrelor as a therapeutic option for the treatment of SCD. Thus, it is expected that ticagrelor, especially in combination with other drugs, will improve the clinical profile and quality of life of patients with SCD.

Abstract
A sensitive and simple liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of ticagrelor and its active metabolite, AR-C124910XX from 50 µL human plasma using tolbutamide as an internal standard as per regulatory guidelines. Analytes in plasma were extracted by simple protein precipitation using acetonitrile, followed by chromatographic separation with an Acclaim™ RSLC 120 C18 column (2.2 µm, 2.1 × 100 mm) and a gradient acetonitrile-water mobile phase containing 0.1% formic acid within 8 min. Mass spectrometric detection and quantitation were conducted by selected reaction-monitoring on a negative electrospray ionization mode with the following transitions: m/z 521.11 → 361.10, 477.03 → 361.10, and 269.00 → 169.60 for ticagrelor, AR-C124910XX, and tolbutamide, respectively. The lower limit of quantifications was 0.2 ng/mL with linear ranges of 0.2–2,500 ng/mL (r2 ≥ 0.9949) for both analytes. All validation data, including selectivity, cross-talk, precision, accuracy, matrix effect, recovery, dilution integrity, stability, and incurred sample reanalysis, were well within acceptable limits. This assay method was validated using K2-EDTA as the specific anticoagulant. Also, the anticoagulant effect was tested by lithium heparin, sodium heparin, and K3-EDTA. No relevant anticoagulant effect was observed. This validated method was effectively used in the determination of ticagrelor and its active metabolite, AR-C124910XX, in plasma samples from patients with myocardial infarction.
