Abstract
Margetuximab was approved for the treatment of advanced HER2+ breast cancer. A feasible analytical technique that can measure this drug was obligatory. In light of this, a novel and thoroughly validated liquid chromatographic (LC)-tandem mass spectrometric (MS/MS) approach was developed for the quantification of margetuximab in rat plasma. The liquid-liquid extraction method was used to extract the analyte from rat plasma. The analyte was separated using acetonitrile and formic acid buffer (30:70) as a mobile phase on Waters, alliance e-2695 model HPLC having Symmetry C18 column, 150 mm × 4.6 mm, 3.5-µm column. The overall runtime was 6 min at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The method showed significant sensitivity and acceptable linearity over the concentration range of 6-120 ng/ml. Accuracy was within 98.51-99.92%. The intraday precision ranged between 0.41 and 8.98% CV. Also, the findings of pharmacokinetic parameters such as Cmax, tmax, AUC0-∞, AUC0-t, and half-life results of margetuximab showed that the technique was helpful for accurately measuring drug concentrations in rat plasma. The method that was developed was useful and effective for quantifying margetuximab.
