Determination of Methotrexate, 7-Hydroxymethotrexate, and 2,4-Diamino-N10-methylpteroic Acid by LC-MS/MS in Plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid and Application in a Pharmacokinetic Analysis of High-Dose Methotrexate.

ABSTRACT: A rapid and robust method for measuring methotrexate (MTX) and its two primary metabolites, 7-hydroxymethotrexate (7-OHMTX) and 2,4-diamino-N10-methylpteroic acid (DAMPA), was developed for use in pharmacokinetic studies of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid samples collected from infants with malignant brain tumors. Sample aliquots (100μL) were prepared for bioanalysis of MTX and metabolites using a Waters Oasis HLB microelution SPE plate. Chromatography was performed using a Phenomenex Synergi Polar-RP 4μ 75 × 2.0mm ID column heated to 40°C. A rapid gradient elution on a Shimadzu HPLC system was used, with mobile phase A consisting of water/formic acid (100/0.1 v/v) and mobile phase B consisting of acetonitrile/formic acid (100/0.1 v/v). Column eluent was analyzed using AB Sciex QTRAP 5500 instrumentation in electrospray ionization mode. The ion transitions (m/z) monitored were 455.2→308.1, 471.1→324.1, and 326.2→175.1 for MTX, 7-OHMTX, and DAMPA respectively. The method was linear over a range of 0.0022 - 5.5 μM for MTX, 0.0085 - 21 μM for 7-OHMTX, and 0.0031 - 7.7 μM for DAMPA. The method was applied to the analysis of serial plasma samples obtained from infants diagnosed with malignant brain tumors receiving high-dose MTX and results were compared to MTX concentrations from a TDx-FLx FPIA.

Glycosaminoglycans in human cerebrospinal fluid determined by LC-MS/MS MRM.

Project description:Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) were recovered from human cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and after their conversion to disaccharides using polysaccharide lyases were analyzed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry using multiple reaction monitoring. CSF showed ng/mL levels of heparan sulfate, chondroitin sulfates and hyaluronan. The amounts and disaccharide composition of these GAGs differed from those found in human plasma. This approach may offer a new method for the discovery of biomarkers for diseases of the central nervous system.

Peptidome analysis of cerebrospinal fluid by LC-MALDI MS.

Project description:We report on the analysis of endogenous peptides in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by mass spectrometry. A method was developed for preparation of peptide extracts from CSF. Analysis of the extracts by offline LC-MALDI MS resulted in the detection of 3,000-4,000 peptide-like features. Out of these, 730 peptides were identified by MS/MS. The majority of these peptides have not been previously reported in CSF. The identified peptides were found to originate from 104 proteins, of which several have been reported to be involved in different disorders of the central nervous system. These results support the notion that CSF peptidomics may be viable complement to proteomics in the search of biomarkers of CNS disorders.

Determination of crenolanib in human serum and cerebrospinal fluid by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS).

Project description:A LC-ESI-MS/MS method for the determination of crenolanib (CP-868,596) in human serum was developed and validated employing d4-CP-868,596 as an internal standard (ISTD). In addition to human serum, the method was also partially validated for crenolanib determination in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples. Sample aliquots (50?l of serum or CSF) were prepared for analysis using liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) with tert-butyl methyl ether. Chromatography was performed using a phenomenex Gemini C18 column (3?m, 100mm×4.6mm I.D.) in a column heater set at 50°C and an isocratic mobile phase (methanol/water/formic acid at a volume ratio of 25/25/0.15, v/v/v). The flow rate was 0.45mL/min, and the retention time for both analyte and ISTD was less than 3.5min. Samples were analyzed with an API-5500 LC-MS/MS system (ESI) in positive ionization mode coupled to a Shimadzu HPLC system. The ion transitions monitored were m/z 444.4?373.1 and m/z 448.2?374.2 for crenolanib and ISTD, respectively. The method was linear over the range of 5-1000ng/mL for serum and 0.5-1000ng/mL for CSF. For human serum, both intra-day and inter-day precision were <4%, while intra-day and inter-day accuracy were within 8% of nominal values. Recovery was greater than 50% for both the analyte and ISTD. For CSF samples, both intra-day and inter-day precision were <9% except at the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) which was <17%. The intra-day and inter-day accuracy were within 11% of the nominal CSF concentrations. After validation, this method was successfully applied to the analysis of serial pharmacokinetic samples obtained from a child treated with oral crenolanib.

LC-MS/MS Analysis of Cerebrospinal Fluid Metabolites in the Pterin Biosynthetic Pathway.

Project description:The analysis of (6R)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) and neopterin in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is often used to identify defects in the pterin biosynthetic pathway affecting monoamine metabolism that can lead to pediatric neurotransmitter diseases. Low levels of BH4 and neopterin alone may not be sufficient to determine the defect, and further testing is often required. We have developed a sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for determination of BH4, 7,8-dihydrobiopterin (BH2), neopterin, and sepiapterin in CSF, which provides a more comprehensive evaluation of the pterin pathway. The method utilizes labeled stable isotopes as internal standards and allows for a fast 10-minute analysis by LC/MS/MS over a linear working range of 3 to 200 nmol/L. Total analytical imprecision is less than 14.4% for all pterin metabolites. Accuracy for BH4 and neopterin was determined by comparing data obtained by an alternative method using HPLC with EC and fluorescence detection. Excellent correlation was demonstrated for BH4 (r?=?0.9646, 1/slope?=?0.9397; n?=?28; concentration range 3 to 63 nmol/L) and neopterin (r?=?0.9919, 1/slope?=?0.9539; n?=?13; concentration range 5 to 240 nmol/L). CSF specimens from patients diagnosed with inborn errors of sepiapterin reductase (SR), 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase (PTPS), dihydropteridine reductase (DHPR), and guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase (GTPCH) have been analyzed, and distinct pterin metabolite patterns were consistent with the initial diagnosis. This method differentiates patients with DHPR and SR deficiency from other pterin defects (GTPCH and PTPS) and will be useful for the diagnosis of specific defects in the pterin biosynthetic pathway.

Simultaneous determination of LY3214996, abemaciclib, and M2 and M20 metabolites in human plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, and brain tumor by LC-MS/MS.

Project description:A sensitive and rapid liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was established for the quantification of total and unbound concentrations of LY3214996, an extracellular signal-regulated kinase inhibitor; abemaciclib, a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor; and abemaciclib active metabolites, M2 and M20, in human plasma, brain tumor, and cerebrospinal fluid samples. The method was validated over a concentration range of 0.2-500 nM within a total run time of 3.8 min using isocratic elution on a Kinetex™ F5 column. Detection was performed on a Sciex QTRAP 6500+ mass spectrometer employing multiple reaction monitoring mode under positive electrospray ionization. The intra- and inter-batch accuracy as well as the precision of the method for all matrices was within ±20% and ≤20% at the lower limit of quantification, and within ±15% and ≤15% for other quality control levels for all analytes. The unbound fractions of drugs and metabolites in spiked and patient samples were determined using an optimized equilibrium dialysis. The validated method was successfully applied in a phase 0/2 clinical trial to assess the central nervous system penetration of LY3214996 and abemaciclib.

Simultaneous Quantification of Baricitinib and Methotrexate in Rat Plasma by LC-MS/MS: Application to a Pharmacokinetic Study.

Project description:Efficacy assessments using a combination of baricitinib and methotrexate necessitate the development of an analytical method for the determination of both drugs in plasma with precision. A high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of baricitinib and methotrexate in rat plasma. Extraction of baricitinib, methotrexate, and tolbutamide (internal standard; IS) from 50 µL of rat plasma was carried out by protein precipitation with methanol. Chromatographic separation of the analytes was performed on the YMC pack ODS AM (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) column under gradient conditions with methanol: 2.0 mM ammonium acetate buffer as the mobile phases at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The precursor ion and product ion transition for both analytes and IS were monitored on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, operated with selective reaction monitoring in positive ionization mode. The method was validated over a concentration range of 0.5-250.00 ng/mL for baricitinib and methotrexate. Mean extraction recoveries for baricitinib, methotrexate, and IS of 86.8%, 89.4%, and 91.8% were consistent across low, medium, and high QC levels, respectively. Precision and accuracy at low, medium, and high quality control levels were less than 15% across the analytes. Benchtop, wet, freeze-thaw, and long-term stability were evaluated for both of the analytes. The analytical method was applied to support the pharmacokinetic study of simultaneous estimation of baricitinib and methotrexate in Wistar rats. Assay reproducibility was demonstrated by reanalysis of 18 incurred samples.

Investigating surrogate cerebrospinal fluid matrix compositions for use in quantitative LC-MS analysis of therapeutic antibodies in the cerebrospinal fluid.

Project description:As quantitative analysis of biotherapeutics in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with LC-MS becomes increasingly widespread, there is a need for method developments towards higher sensitivity. By using artificial CSF (aCSF) in the development phase, the consumption of costly and sparsely available CSF can be limited. The aCSF compositions tested here were made from various dilutions of bovine serum albumin (BSA) or rat plasma to mimic the total protein concentration found in CSF. Focusing on monoclonal antibodies, the aCSF was spiked with human immunoglobulin (hIgG) and prepared with the bottom-up analysis technique using LC-MS. Assuming that the composition of the aCSF would affect the digest, the response from aCSF matrices was compared with CSF from rat, monkey, and dog in terms of estimated sample concentration and matrix effects. The samples were spiked with hIgG in the range of 10 to 1000 ng/mL and volumes of 10 ?L were transferred to sample preparation. The results indicate that BSA dilutions from 300 to 2000 ?g/mL and rat plasma dilutions of 0.5-2% provide the most accurate concentration estimates when compared with rat CSF. 1000 ?g/mL BSA did not produce significantly different concentration estimates for 500 ng/mL samples when compared with CSF from rat, monkey, and dog, and can therefore be used as aCSF for several different species.

A validated LC-MS/MS assay for quantification of 24(S)-hydroxycholesterol in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid.

Project description:24(S)-hydroxycholesterol [24(S)-HC] is a cholesterol metabolite that is formed almost exclusively in the brain. The concentrations of 24(S)-HC in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and/or plasma might be a sensitive marker of altered cholesterol metabolism in the CNS. A highly sensitive 2D-LC-MS/MS assay was developed for the quantification of 24(S)-HC in human plasma and CSF. In the development of an assay for 24(S)-HC in CSF, significant nonspecific binding of 24(S)-HC was observed and resolved with the addition of 2.5% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) into CSF samples. The sample preparation consists of liquid-liquid extraction with methyl-tert-butyl ether and derivatization with nicotinic acid. Good linearity was observed in a range from 1 to 200 ng/ml and from 0.025 to 5 ng/ml, for plasma and CSF, respectively. Acceptable precision and accuracy were obtained for concentrations over the calibration curve ranges. Stability of 24(S)-HC was reported under a variety of storage conditions. This method has been successfully applied to support a National Institutes of Health-sponsored clinical trial of HP-β-CD in Niemann-Pick type C1 patients, in which 24(S)-HC is used as a pharmacodynamic biomarker.

DMS as an orthogonal separation to LC/ESI/MS/MS for quantifying isomeric cerebrosides in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid.

Project description:Cerebrosides, including glucosylceramides (GlcCers) and galactosylceramides (GalCers), are important membrane components of animal cells with deficiencies resulting in devastating lysosomal storage disorders. Their quantification is essential for disease diagnosis and a better understanding of disease mechanisms. The simultaneous quantification of GlcCer and GalCer isomers is, however, particularly challenging due to their virtually identical structures. To address this challenge, we developed a new LC/MS-based method using differential ion mobility spectrometry (DMS) capable of rapidly and reproducibly separating and quantifying isomeric cerebrosides in a single run. We show that this LC/ESI/DMS/MS/MS method exhibits robust quantitative performance within an analyte concentration range of 2.8-355 nM. We further report the simultaneous quantification of nine GlcCers (16:0, 18:0, 20:0, 22:0, 23:0, 24:1, 24:0, 25:0, and 26:0) and five GalCers (16:0, 22:0, 23:0, 24:1, and 24:0) molecular species in human plasma, as well as six GalCers (18:0, 22:0, 23:0, 24:1, 24:0 and 25:0) and two GlcCers (24:1 and 24:0) in human cerebrospinal fluid. Our method expands the potential of DMS technology in the field of glycosphingolipid analysis for both biomarker discovery and drug screening by enabling the unambiguous assignment and quantification of cerebroside lipid species in biological samples.

Validated LC-MS/MS Method for the Determination of Scopoletin in Rat Plasma and Its Application to Pharmacokinetic Studies.

Project description:A rapid, sensitive and selective liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometric method was developed and validated for the quantification of scopoletin in rat plasma. After the addition of the internal standard xanthotoxin, plasma samples were pretreated by a simple one-step protein precipitation with acetonitrile-methanol (2:1, v/v). Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Diamonsil ODS chromatography column using gradient elution with the mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid. The determination was performed by positive ion electrospray ionization in multiple reaction monitoring mode. The calibration curve was linear over the concentration range of 5-1000 ng/mL (r = 0.9996). The intra- and inter-day precision (RSD%) was less than 6.1%, and the accuracy (RE%) was from -3.0%-2.5%. This method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic research of scopoletin in rats after intravenous (5 mg/kg) or oral (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg) administration. The result showed that oral bioavailability with a dose of 5 mg/kg was 6.62% ± 1.72%, 10 mg/kg, 5.59% ± 1.16%, and 20 mg/kg, 5.65% ± 0.75%.
