Successful LC-MS/MS assay development and validation for determination of valproic acid and its metabolites supporting proactive pharmacovigilance. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2023; 234:115538. [PMID: 37354631 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2023.115538] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Revised: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/26/2023]
Abstract
Valproic acid (VPA) is a well-documented contributor to liver injury, which is likely caused by the formation of its toxic metabolites. Monitoring VPA and its metabolites is very meaningful for the pharmacovigilance, but the availability of a powerful assay is a prerequisite. In this study, for the first time, a sensitive and specific LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated to simultaneously quantify the concentrations of VPA and its six pestering isomer metabolites (3-OH-VPA, 4-OH-VPA, 5-OH-VPA, 2-PGA, VPA-G, and 2-ene-VPA) in human plasma, using 5-OH-VPA-d7 and VPA-d6 as the internal standards (ISs). We also figured out another tricky problem that the concentrations of the parent drug and the metabolites vary widely. Of note, after protein precipitation and dilution with acetonitrile (ACN) and 50% ACN successively, the analytes and the ISs were successfully separated on a Kinetex C18 column. Intriguingly, sacrificing its signal intensity by elevated collision energy of VPA finally achieved the simultaneous determination. As expected, the method showed great linearity (r > 0.998) over the concentration ranges for all analytes. The inter-day and intra-day accuracy and precision were both acceptable. The method was successfully applied in 127 children with epilepsy. This novel assay will support the VPA-associated pharmacovigilance in the future.

Abstract
A procedure for the determination of oseltamivir in human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography( tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was proposed and validated. Arapid and easy-to-use method of liquid(liquid extraction with ethyl acetate using venlafaxine as an internal standard was used during sample preparation. The addition of benzoic acid to aqueous acetonitrile solutions of the analyte was shown to prevent its oxidative degradation. The detection limit and limit of quantitation were 0.08 and 0.30 ng/mL, respectively; the calibration range, 0.3-200 ng/mL (R 2 = 0.9937); the total analysis time, 3.2 min. The within- and between-run accuracy ranged from 97 to 105%. The precision was <10%. The proposed procedure was characterized by selective determination of the analyte, the absence of significant matrix effects, the ability to dilute samples with high analyte concentrations, and satisfactory extraction recovery (≥89%). The analyte was stable when stored in plasma samples (4 h at room temperature, 31 d at (80°C, after three freeze(thaw cycles) and extracts under autosampler storage conditions (24 h at 15°C). The procedure was successfully used for oseltamivir quantitation in actual plasma samples from healthy volunteers obtained during a bioequivalence study of the new generic drug.

Abstract
Introduction:
A selective, sensitive, precise and rapid analytical method using liquid chromatography-
tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) for simultaneous determination of oseltamivir and
oseltamivir carboxylic acid in plasma has been developed and validated, using oseltamivir-D5 and oseltamivir
acid-D3 as internal standards.
Methods:
The analytes were extracted from 300μL of human plasma using solid phase extraction technique.
A mixture of methanol and 0.1% formic acid (60:40, v/v) was used as mobile phase at a flow rate
of 0.7mL/min, to separate the analytes on Zorbax SB-C18 (50x4.6mm, 3.5μm) analytical column.
Results:
The calibration curves obtained were linear over the concentration ranges of 0.5-200ng/mL and
2.0-800ng/mL for oseltamivir and oseltamivir carboxylic acid respectively. A run time of 2.5min makes
it possible to analyze more than 350 plasma samples in a day, thereby increasing the productivity.
Conclusion:
The present method was applied successfully to a clinical pharmacokinetic study in South
Indian male subjects with 75mg oseltamivir phosphate capsule under fasting conditions and the results
were authenticated by incurred sample reanalysis.

Abstract
Oseltamivir phosphate (OP) is the first line therapy for influenza, and its primary metabolite oseltamivir carboxylate (OC) is the active agent via inhibition of neuraminidase of influenza virus. Dosages of OP and OC might affect human causing nausea and vomiting and it is therefore necessary to evaluate their toxicity and safety. The separation system: liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is a powerful technique to monitor OP and OC. However, quantification of OP and OC needs isotopic analogs as internal standards to monitor the stability of the sample pretreatment procedures and instruments. In this study, we demonstrated a modified method (i.e., reductive amination) to synthesize OP and OC deuterated and hydrogenated analogs as internal standards (ISs) and for illustration of calibration curves, respectively. This modification allowed to overcome ISs selection and to enhance the signal intensities via high yield reductive amination in MS detection. We utilized the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode to target m/z values of precursor and product ions. N-dimethylated OP and N-dimethylated OC showed linearity ranging from 1 to 1000 ng/mL with coefficient of determination (R2) values of 0.9995 and 0.9999, respectively. Additionally, the relative standard deviations (RSD) of intra-day ranged from 0.3% to 5.2%, and the RSD of inter-day ranged from 2.0% to 18.8%, respectively. This quantitative method utilized spiked OP and OC at low (20 ng/mL), intermediate (100 ng/mL), and high (500 ng/mL) concentrations in human serum samples. The average recoveries for OP and OC were 84.6%-107.7% and 94.9%-98.5%, respectively.

Abstract
This review article is the first in the series providing an overview of currently used antiviral drugs and presenting contemporary approaches to their analysis. Large number of available antivirals and their structural variability makes this task very challenging. Trying to cover this topic comprehensively while maintaining reasonable size of the article, the review is presented in two parts. For the purpose of the overall review, antivirals were divided into four groups: (i) antivirals against herpes viruses, (ii) antivirals against respiratory viruses, (iii) antivirals against hepatitis viruses, and (iv) antivirals against HIV. Part one is devoted to the groups (i) and (ii) and also concerns the key features of the bioanalytical method. The mechanisms of action of antivirals against respiratory and herpes viruses and their use in clinical practice are briefly outlined, and the analytical methods for selected representatives of each class are described in more detail. The methods developed for the determination of drugs from these classes mostly include conventional procedures. In contrast, current trends such as UHPLC are used rarely and proper method validation based on requirements of bioanalytical guidelines can be often considered insufficient.

Abstract
Caffeine is a mild stimulant with significant potential for abuse, being consumed in larger doses with the widespread availability of energy drinks and by novel routes of administration such as inspired powder, oral sprays and electronic cigarettes. How these recent changes in caffeine consumption affecting caffeine disposition and abuse potential is of growing concern. In the study of caffeine disposition in humans, it is common to only measure the caffeine concentration; however, caffeine's three major metabolites (paraxanthine, theobromine and theophylline) retain central nervous system stimulant activity that may contribute to the overall pharmacological activity and toxicity. Therefore, it would be scientifically more rigorous to measure caffeine and its major metabolites in the evaluation of caffeine disposition in human subjects. Herein, we report a method for the simultaneous quantification of caffeine and its three major metabolites in human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS). Human plasma samples were treated by simple protein precipitation and the analytes were separated using a 6 min gradient program. Precision and accuracy were well within in the 15% acceptance range. The simple sample preparation, short runtime, sensitivity and the inclusion of caffeine's major metabolites make this assay methodology optimal for the study of caffeine's pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in human subjects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Human carboxylesterase-1 (CES1) and human carboxylesterase-2 (CES2) play an important role in metabolizing many medications. Alcohol is a known inhibitor of these enzymes but the relative effect on CES1 and CES2 is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of alcohol on the metabolism of specific probes for CES1 (oseltamivir) and CES2 (aspirin). METHODS The effect of alcohol on CES1- and CES2-mediated probe drug hydrolysis was determined in vitro using recombinant human carboxylesterase. To characterize the in vivo effects of alcohol, healthy volunteers received each probe drug alone and in combination with alcohol followed by blood sample collection and determination of oseltamivir, aspirin, and respective metabolite pharmacokinetics. RESULTS Alcohol significantly inhibited oseltamivir hydrolysis by CES1 in vitro but did not affect aspirin metabolism by CES2. Alcohol increased the oseltamivir area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from 0 to 6 h (AUC0 → 6 h) by 27% (range 11-46%, p = 0.011) and decreased the metabolite/oseltamivir AUC0 → 6 h ratio by 34% (range 25-41%, p < 0.001). Aspirin pharmacokinetics were not affected by alcohol. CONCLUSIONS Alcohol significantly inhibited the hydrolysis of oseltamivir by CES1 both in vitro and in humans, but did not affect the hydrolysis of aspirin to salicylic acid by CES2. These results suggest that alcohol's inhibition of CES1 could potentially result in clinically significant drug interactions with other CES1-substrate drugs, but it is unlikely to significantly affect CES2-substrate drug hydrolysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Human carboxylesterase-1 (CES1) is an enzyme that is primarily expressed in the liver, where it plays an important role in the metabolism of many commonly used medications. Ethanol (alcohol)-mediated inhibition of CES1 and loss-of-function polymorphisms in the CES1 gene can markedly reduce this enzyme's function. Such alterations in CES1 activity may have important effects on the disposition of substrate drugs. The aim of this study is to develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to predict changes in CES1 substrate drug exposure in humans with CES1 activity impaired by ethanol or loss-of-function CES1 genetic polymorphisms. METHODS The antiviral drug oseltamivir, an ethyl ester prodrug that is rapidly converted in vivo to the active metabolite oseltamivir carboxylate (OSC) by CES1 was used as a probe drug for CES1 activity. Oseltamivir PBPK models integrating in vitro and in vivo data were developed and refined. Then the changes in oseltamivir and OSC exposure in humans with CES1 impaired by ethanol or polymorphisms were simulated using a PBPK model incorporating in vitro inhibition and enzyme kinetic data. Model assumptions were verified by comparison of simulations with observed and published data. A sensitivity analysis was performed to gain a mechanistic understanding of the exposure changes of oseltamivir and OSC. RESULTS The simulated changes in oseltamivir and OSC exposures in humans with CES1 impaired by ethanol or polymorphism were similar to the observed data. The observed exposures to oseltamivir were increased by 46 and 37 % for the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to 6 h (AUC6) and from time zero to 24 h (AUC24), respectively, with co-administration of ethanol 0.6 g/kg. In contrast, only a slight change was observed in OSC exposure. The simulated data show the same trend as evidenced by greater change in exposures to oseltamivir (27 and 26 % for AUC(6) and AUC(24), [corrected] respectively) than OSC (≤6 %). CONCLUSIONS The PBPK model of impaired CES1 activity correctly predicts observed human data. This model can be extended to predict the effects of drug interactions and other factors affecting the pharmacokinetics of other CES1 substrate drugs.

Abstract
Dimemorfan phosphate has been widely used for 40 years throughout the world for the treatment of coughs. This is the first report on the use of an LC-MS/MS-based assay for the determination of dimemorfan in human plasma using estazolam as an internal standard after one-step protein precipitation with acetonitrile. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Phenomenex Luna C18 column (3 µm, 50 × 2.0 mm) using a fast gradient method, which involves water and methanol as the mobile phase (both containing 0.1% formic acid). Dimemorfan and estazolam were detected with proton adducts at m/z values of 255.8 → 155.1 and 295.0 → 267.0, respectively, in the selected reaction monitoring positive mode. The linear dynamic range of the assay was 0.04-5.00 ng/mL. The chromatographic run time for each plasma sample was <5 min. The method was proven to be accurate, precise, and repeatable. Finally, the developed method was successfully applied for the determination of dimemorfan in a pharmacokinetic study using healthy Chinese subjects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The determination of rivaroxaban and apixaban from serum samples of patients may be beneficial in specific clinical situations when additional blood sampling for plasma and thus the determination of factor Xa activity is not feasible or results are not plausible. MATERIALS AND METHODS The primary aim of this study was to compare the concentrations of rivaroxaban and apixaban in serum with those measured in plasma. Secondary aims were the performance of three different chromogenic methods and concentrations in patients on treatment with rivaroxaban 10 mg od (n = 124) or 20 mg od (n = 94) or apixaban 5 mg bid (n = 52) measured at different time. RESULTS Concentrations of rivaroxaban and apixaban in serum were about 20-25% higher compared with plasma samples with a high correlation (r = 0·79775-0·94662) using all assays (all P < 0·0001). The intraclass correlation coefficients were about 0·90 for rivaroxaban and 0·55 for apixaban. Mean rivaroxaban concentrations were higher at 2 and 3 h compared with 1 and 12 h after administration measured from plasma and serum samples (all P-values < 0·05) and were not different between 1 vs. 12 h (plasma and serum). CONCLUSIONS The results indicate that rivaroxaban and apixaban concentrations can be determined specifically from serum samples.

Abstract
Aqueous alkaline degradation was performed for oseltamivir phosphate (OP) and valacyclovir hydrochloride (VA). Isocratic stability indicating the use of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was presented for each drug in the presence of its degradation product. The separations were performed using the Nucleosil ODS column and a mobile phase consisting of phosphate buffer (pH = 7), acetonitrile, and methanol 50:25:25 (v/v/v) for OP. For VA separation, a Nucleosil CN column using phosphate buffer (pH = 7) and methanol 85:15 (v/v) was used as a mobile phase. Ultraviolet detection at 210 nm and 254 nm was used for OP and VA, respectively. The method showed high sensitivity concerning linearity, accuracy, and precision over the range 1–250 μg mL−1 for both drugs. The proposed method was used to determine the drug in its pharmaceutical formulation and to investigate the degradation kinetics of each drug’s alkaline-stressed samples. The reactions were found to follow a first-order reaction. The activation energy could also be estimated. International Conference on Harmonisation guidelines were adopted for method validation.

A novel coated platinum electrode for oseltamivir determination in pharmaceuticals. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2014; 37:90-8. [PMID: 24582227 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2013.12.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2013] [Revised: 12/05/2013] [Accepted: 12/27/2013] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
New coated platinum selective electrodes have been prepared and used for the determination of oseltamivir phosphate (OSL) in bulk drug solutions and in pharmaceutical preparations. Electrodes were using plasticized PVC membranes doped with ion-pair complexes based on drug-phosphomolybdate and drug-tetraphenylborate as electroactive materials. The influence of membrane composition (plasticizers and ion-pair complexes) has been investigated. Optimum performance was obtained for two polymeric membranes: PVC:o-NPPE:OSL-TPB in the ratio of 30:68:2 (%, w:w:w) and PVC:DPP:OSL-PMA in the ratio of 30:68:2 (%, w:w:w). The electrodes exhibited linear responses over large concentration ranges (1.0×10(-5)-1.0×10(-2) and 5.0×10(-5)-5.0×10(-2)M, respectively) with near-Nernstian responses (58.9 and 57.3mV/decade, respectively). The selectivity coefficients indicated good selectivity for OSL drug over a large number of organic compounds and some inorganic cations. The proposed electrodes were successfully applied to the determination of OSL in raw material and in pharmaceutical formulations. The results were validated by comparison with a capillary electrophoresis method.

Nonvolatile salt-free stabilizer for the quantification of polar imipenem and cilastatin in human plasma using hydrophilic interaction chromatography/quadrupole mass spectrometry with contamination sensitive off-axis electrospray. JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY : JMS 2013; 48:945-950. [PMID: 23893642 PMCID: PMC3747842 DOI: 10.1002/jms.3240] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2013] [Revised: 05/21/2013] [Accepted: 05/24/2013] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
A hydrophilic interaction chromatography/mass spectrometry (HILIC-MS)-based assay for imipenem (IMP) and cilastatin (CIL) was recently reported. This orthogonal electrospray ion source-based (ORS) assay utilized nonvolatile salt (unremovable) to stabilize IMI in plasma. Unfortunately, this method was not applicable to conventional MS with off-axis spray (OAS-MS) because MS sensitivity was rapidly deteriorated by the nonvolatile salt. Therefore, we aimed to find a nonvolatile salt- and ion suppression-free approach to stabilize and measure the analytes in plasma using OAS-MS. Acetonitrile and methanol were tested to stabilize the analytes in the plasma samples. The recoveries, matrix effects and stabilities of the analytes in the stabilizer-treated samples were studied. The variations in MS signal intensities were used as the indicator of the assay ruggedness. The results show that a mixture of methanol and acetonitrile (1:1) is best for the storage and measurement of IMP and CIL in human plasma. Utilization of this precipitant not only blocked the hydrolysis of the analytes in plasma but also resulted in an ion suppression-free, fast (120 s per sample) and sensitive detection. The sensitivity obtained using the less sensitive OAS-MS (API3000, 4 pg on column) is much greater than that of the published ORS-MS-based assay (API4000, 77 pg on column). The ruggedness of the assay was demonstrated by its constant MS signal intensity. In conclusion, an improved HILIC/MS-based assay for IMP and CIL was established. The approach presented here provides a simple solution to the challenge of analyzing hydrolytically unstable β-lactam antibiotics in biological samples.
