{"title":"Bioanalytical method development and validation of HPLCUV assay for the quantification of SHetA2 in mouse and human plasma: Application to pharmacokinetics study.","authors":"Ankur Sharma,&nbsp;Elangovan Thavathiru,&nbsp;Doris Mangiaracina Benbrook,&nbsp;Sukyung Woo","doi":"10.7243/2050-120X-6-2","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7243/2050-120X-6-2","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>SHetA2 is an oral anticancer agent being investigated for cancer treatment and prevention. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a simple, cost-effective, and sensitive HPLC-UV method for the quantification of SHetA2 in biological samples and to apply the method to pharmacokinetic studies of the drug.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Sample preparation for mouse and human plasmas involved liquid-liquid precipitation and extraction using chilled acetonitrile with 2, 3-Diphenylquinoxaline as an internal standard. The separation of SHetA2 and internal standard was achieved via Waters XBridge™ BEH 130 C18 (3.5 μm, 2.1×150 mm) column coupled with a Waters XBridge™ C-18 (3.5 μm, 2.1×10 mm) guard column using 65% v/v acetonitrile: distilled water as a mobile phase in an isocratic mode with a flow rate of 0.18 ml/min. The analytes were eluted at a detection wavelength of 341 nm at a column temperature of 25°C.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The method was validated across a range of 5-1000 ng/ml for SHetA2 in plasma, with a lower limit of quantification of 5 ng/ml. The method showed high recovery in human (79.9-81.8%) and mouse (95.4-109.2%) plasma with no matrix effect. The intra- and inter-day accuracy and precision studies demonstrated that the method was specific, sensitive, and reliable. Stability studies showed that SHetA2 is stable for 20 h postoperatively in the auto sampler, and for six weeks at -80°C in plasma. Repetitive freezing and thawing may be avoided by preparing the aliquots and storing them at -80°C. The developed method was successfully applied to study the plasma pharmacokinetics of SHetA2 in tumor-bearing nude mice after intravenous and oral administration.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>A novel method for quantifying SHetA2 in mouse and human plasmas has been validated and is being applied for pharmacokinetic evaluation of SHetA2 in tumor-bearing mice. The developed method will be utilized for the quantification of SHetA2 in clinical studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":92255,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pharmaceutical technology & drug research","volume":"6 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5922436/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36054389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
