Eco-Friendly UPLC-MS/MS Method for Determination of a Fostamatinib Metabolite, Tamatinib, in Plasma: Pharmacokinetic Application in Rats.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Fostamatinib is a prodrug of the active metabolite tamatinib, which is a spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) inhibitor used in the treatment of primary chronic adult immune thrombocytopenia and rheumatoid arthritis. A highly sensitive, rapid, reliable, and green method was developed and validated using ultra-performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) for quantification of tamatinib in rat plasma. Ibrutinib was used as internal standard and liquid-liquid extraction was applied using tert-butyl methyl ether. The analyte was separated on an AcquityTM CSH C18 (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 1.7 µm) column using mobile phase consisting of 10 mM ammonium acetate and acetonitrile (10:90) and the flow rate was 0.25 mL/min. Electrospray ionization (ESI) was carried out in positive mode. Quantitation of tamatinib and the IS was performed using multiple reaction monitoring mode with precursor-to-product transitions of m/z 471.1 > 122.0 and m/z 441.1 > 84.0, respectively. The calibration range was 0.1-1000.0 ng/mL and the linearity of the method was ≥0.997. The developed method greenness was investigated. All principal parameters for the method, including linearity, accuracy, precision, recovery, and stability, were within acceptable ranges. Tamatinib pharmacokinetic study in rats was successfully carried out using the developed method.
