Abstract

Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) has been the subject of research for many years, but its role in lipid turnover is still not fully understood, neither its role in cancer development and progression. A crucial aspect in LPC research is its efficient and fast extraction from plasma and tissues to use LPC as a biomarker in clinical settings. The extraction methods commonly in use like Bligh & Dyer require the use of toxic halogenated solvents and are time consuming due to multiple extraction steps and subsequent solvent evaporation. In this study, a new, salt-assisted one-step extraction protocol, which avoids halogenated solvents, is presented. Saturated ammonium acetate solution was used as a salt component and acetonitrile:isopropanol (2.5:1 v/v) as eluent. The new extraction is characterized by its simplicity, robustness and short total process time of 18 minutes. For validation according to the ICH M10 guideline for bioanalytical method validation, LPC species extracted from plasma were quantified by LC-MS/MS, using LPC 19:0 as internal standard. In addition to these advantages, the new extraction procedure showed a slightly but statistically significant better recovery compared to Bligh & Dyer (93.2 % vs. 87.5 %; p < 0.05; n = 5), as shown by a t-test. The applicability of the new method was demonstrated in a pilot study, in which the plasma of 15 healthy volunteers was analyzed for its content of various LPC species.

单步、无氯仿从血浆中提取溶血磷脂酰胆碱用于癌症生物标志物分析。
溶血磷脂酰胆碱(LPC)多年来一直是研究的主题,但其在脂质转化中的作用仍未完全了解,也未完全了解其在癌症发生和进展中的作用。从血浆和组织中高效、快速地提取LPC作为临床生物标志物是LPC研究的一个关键方面。Bligh & Dyer等常用的提取方法需要使用有毒的卤化溶剂,并且由于多个提取步骤和随后的溶剂蒸发而耗时。在这项研究中,提出了一种新的,盐辅助一步提取方案,避免了卤化溶剂。以饱和乙酸铵溶液为盐组分,乙腈:异丙醇(2.5:1 v/v)为洗脱液。该方法具有提取简单、鲁棒性好、总提取时间短(18分钟)等特点。根据ICH M10生物分析方法验证指南进行验证,采用LC-MS/MS,以LPC 19:0为内标,对血浆中提取的LPC进行定量。除了这些优势之外,与Bligh & Dyer相比,新的提取方法显示出略微但统计学上显著的更好的回收率(93.2% vs. 87.5%; p

期刊介绍: The journal publishes research articles, review articles and scientific commentaries on all aspects of the pharmaceutical sciences with emphasis on conceptual novelty and scientific quality. The Editors welcome articles in this multidisciplinary field, with a focus on topics relevant for drug discovery and development. More specifically, the Journal publishes reports on medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, drug absorption and metabolism, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis, drug delivery (including gene delivery), drug targeting, pharmaceutical technology, pharmaceutical biotechnology and clinical drug evaluation. The journal will typically not give priority to manuscripts focusing primarily on organic synthesis, natural products, adaptation of analytical approaches, or discussions pertaining to drug policy making. Scientific commentaries and review articles are generally by invitation only or by consent of the Editors. Proceedings of scientific meetings may be published as special issues or supplements to the Journal.
