Abstract
Ceramides are known to be involved in various biological processes with their physiological levels elevated in various disease conditions such as diabetes, Alzheimer's, atherosclerosis. To facilitate the rapid screening of Cer d18:1/16:0, d18:1/24:0, d18:1/24:1, d18:1/18:0, d18:1/14:0, d18:1/20:0, and d18:1/22:0 inhibition in HepG2 cells, a RapidFire coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (RF-MS/MS) method has been developed. The RF platform provides an automated solid-phase extraction system that gave a throughput of 12.6 s per sample to an MS/MS system using electrospray ionization under the positive ion mode. Chromatographic separation of Cer d18:1/16:0, d18:1/24:0, d18:1/24:1, d18:1/18:0, d18:1/14:0, d18:1/20:0, and d18:1/22:0 was achieved using a ternary gradient on C8 type E cartridge. The MS/MS ion transitions monitored were 538.2 → 264.2, 650.7 → 264.2, 648.6 → 264.2, 566.4 → 264.2, 510.4 → 264.2, 594.4 → 264.2, 622.5 → 264.2, and 552.3 → 250.2 for Cer d18:1/16:0, d18:1/24:0, d18:1/24:1, d18:1/18:0, d18:1/14:0, d18:1/20:0, d18:1/22:0, and the internal standard (Cer d17:1/18:0), respectively. The RF-MS/MS methodology showed an excellent performance with an average Z' value of 0.5-0.7. This is the first report of an RF-MS/MS assay for screening of ceramides which is amenable for high-throughput screening.

Prediction of Human Pharmacokinetics of Fomepizole from Preclinical Species Pharmacokinetics Based on Normalizing Time Course Profiles. AAPS PharmSciTech 2019; 20:221. [PMID: 31214899 DOI: 10.1208/s12249-019-1434-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2019] [Accepted: 05/23/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Fomepizole is used as an antidote to treat methanol poisoning due to its selectivity towards alcohol dehydrogenase. In the present study, the goal is to develop a method to predict the fomepizole human plasma concentration versus time profile based on the preclinical pharmacokinetics using the assumption of superimposability on simulated time course profiles of animals and humans. Standard allometric equations with/without correction factors were also assimilated in the prediction. The volume of distribution at steady state (Vss) predicted by simple allometry (57.55 L) was very close to the reported value (42.17 L). However, clearance (CL) prediction by simple allometry was at least 3-fold higher to the reported value (33.86 mL/min); hence, multiple correction factors were used to predict the clearance. Both brain weight and maximum life span potential could predict the CL with 1.22- and 1.01-fold difference. Specifically, the predicted Vss and CL values via interspecies scaling were used in the prediction of series of human intravenous pharmacokinetic parameters, while the simulation of human oral profile was done by the use of absorption rate constant (Ka) from dog following the applicability of human bioavailability value scaled from dog data. In summary, the findings indicate that the utility of diverse allometry approaches to derive the human pharmacokinetics of fomepizole after intravenous/oral dosing.

Abstract
Bendamustine, an alkylating anticancer agent, is used to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia by intravenous infusion alone or in combination. The work aimed to develop a method to predict time vs. concentration profile for humans based on preclinical pharmacokinetics using the assumption of superimposability of normalized time course profiles of animals and humans. Standard allometric equations with/without correction factors (CF) were also used in prediction. The Vss was predicted by simple allometry of 0.312W0.871 (r2=0.987), where W is body weight; predicted Vss (19.71 L) was similar to the reported value (20.10 L). However, CL prediction involved both simple and CF allometry. Best proximity CL (543 vs. 598 mL/min) was obtained with maximum life span correction (MLP) [2.46W1.215 (r2=0.988)]. Normalized curves were obtained by normalizing the time (with mean residence time) vs. concentration (with dose/Vss) in animal species. The concentration vs. time profile in humans after intravenous infusion was then simulated using normalized curve for each animal species and the values of CL and Vss were predicted for humans. In summary the findings indicate that normalized time course approach could predict the bendamustine human pharmacokinetics and such an approach could be prospectively applied for analog drugs of this class.

Abstract
A simple, specific, sensitive and rapid LC-ESI-MS/MS method has been developed and validated for the quantification of 4-methylpyrazole in dog plasma using N-methylnicotinamide-d4 as an internal standard (IS) as per regulatory guidelines. Sample preparation was accomplished through a simple protein precipitation. Chromatographic separation of 4-methylpyrazole and the IS was performed on a monolithic (Chromolith RP18e ) column using an isocratic mobile phase comprising 0.2% formic acid in water and acetonitrile (20:80, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Elution of 4-methylpyrazole and the IS occurred at ~1.60 and 1.56 min, respectively. The total chromatographic run time was 3.2 min. A linear response function was established in the concentration range of 4.96-4955 ng/mL. The intra- and inter-day accuracy and precision were in the ranges 1.81-12.9 and 3.80-11.1%, respectively. This novel method has been applied to a pharmacokinetic study in dogs.

Abstract
Ulixertinib (BVD-523) is a novel and selective reversible inhibitor of ERK1/ERK2. In xenograft studies it inhibited tumor growth in BRAF-mutant melanoma and colorectal xenografts as well as KRAS-mutant colorectal and pancreatic models. Ulixertinib is currently in Phase I clinical development for the treatment of advance solid tumors. The objective of the study is to assess the metabolic stability (in various pre-clinical and human liver microsomes/hepatocytes), permeability, protein binding, CYP inhibition, CYP induction and CYP phenotyping of ulixertinib. We have also studied the oral and intravenous pharmacokinetics of ulixertinib in mice, rats and dogs. Ulixertinib was found to be moderately to highly stable in various liver microsomes/hepatocytes tested. It is a medium permeable (2.67 x 10-6 cm /sec) drug and a substrate for efflux (efflux ratio: 3.02) in Caco-2 model. Ulixertinib was highly bound to plasma proteins. CYPs involved in its limited metabolism and it is CYP inhibition IC50 ranged between 10-20 µM. Post oral administration ulixertinib exhibited early Tmax (0.50-0.75 h) in mice and rats indicating absorption was rapid, however in dogs Tmax attained at 2 h. The half-life (t½) of ulixertinib by intravenous and oral routes ranged between 1.0-2.5 h across the species. Clearance and volume of distribution by intravenous route for ulixertinib were found to be 6.24 mL/min/kg and 0.56 L/kg; 1.67 mL/min/kg and 0.36 L/kg and 15.5 mL/min/kg and 1.61 L/kg in mice, rats and dogs, respectively. Absolute oral bioavailability in mice and rats was > 92 %, however in dogs it was 34 %.

Abstract
1. The human urinary excretory amounts of total drug (parent + metabolites) were predicted for nine drugs with diverse chemical structures using simple allometry. The drugs used for scaling were cephapirin, olanzapine, labetolol, carisbamate, voriconazole, tofacitinib, nevirapine, ropinirole, and cyclindole. 2. The traditional allometric scaling was attempted using Y = aWb relationship. The corresponding predicted urinary amounts were converted into % recovery by using appropriate human dose. Appropriate statistical tests comprising of fold-difference (predicted/observed values) and error calculations (MAE and RMSE) were performed. 3. The interspecies scaling of all nine drugs tested showed excellent correlation (r > 0.9672). The predictions for eight out of nine drugs (exception was cephaphirin) were contained within 0.80-1.25 fold-differences. The MAE and RMSE were within ± 18% and 14.64%, respectively. 4. The present work supported the potential application of prospective allometry scaling to predict the urinary excretory amounts of the total drug and gauge any issues for the renal handling of the total drug.

Abstract
A sensitive and rapid LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantitation of four HDAC inhibitors, namely belinostat (BST), panobinostat (PST), rocilinostat (RST) and vorinostat (VST), in mouse plasma as per regulatory guidelines. The analytes and internal standard were extracted from 50 μL mouse plasma by protein precipitation, followed by chromatographic separation using an Atlantis C18 column with an isocratic mobile phase comprising 0.1% formic acid-acetonitrile (25:75, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min within 2.5 min. Detection and quantitation were done by multiple reaction monitoring on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer following the transitions: m/z 319 → 93, 350 → 158, 434 → 274 and 265 → 232 for BST, PST, RST and VST, respectively, in the positive ionization mode. The calibration curves were linear from 2.92 to 2921 ng/mL for BST and PST and from 1.01 to 1008 ng/mL for RST and VST with r2 ≥ 0.99 for all of the analytes. The intra- and inter-batch accuracy and precision (CV) across quality controls varied from 85.5 to 112% and from 2.30 to 12.5, respectively, for all of the analytes. Analytes were found to be stable under different stability conditions. The method was applied to an i.v. pharmacokinetic study in mice.

Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise was to explore the utility of allometric scaling approach for the prediction of intravenous and oral pharmacokinetics of six dipeptidy peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors viz. ABT-279, ABT-341, alogliptin, carmegliptin, sitagliptin and vildagliptin. Methods: The availability of intravenous and oral pharmacokinetic data in animals enabled the allometry scaling of 6 DPP-IV inhibitors. The relationship between the main pharmacokinetic parameters [viz. volume of distribution (Vd) and clearance (CL)] and body weight was studied across three or four mammalian species, using double logarithmic plots to predict the human pharmacokinetic parameters of CL and Vd using simple allometry. Results: A simply allometry relationship: Y = aWb was found to be adequate for the prediction of intravenous and oral human clearance/volume of distribution for DPP-IV inhibitors. The allometric equations for alogliptin, carmegliptin, sitagliptin, vildagliptin, ABT-279 and ABT-341 were 1.867W0.780, 1.170W0.756, 2.020W0.529, 1.959 W0.847, 0.672 W1.016, 1.077W 0.649, respectively, to predict intravenous clearance (CL) and the corresponding equations to predict intravenous volume of distribution (Vd) were: 3.313W0.987, 6.096W0.992, 7.140W0.805, 2.742W0.941, 1.299W0.695 and 5.370W0.803. With the exception of a few discordant values the exponent rule appeared to hold for CL (0.75) and Vd (1.0) for the predictions of various DPP-IV inhibitors. Regardless of the routes, the predicted values were within 2-3 fold of observed values and intravenous allometry was better than oral allometry. Conclusion: Simple allometry retrospectively predicted with reasonable accuracy the human reported values of gliptins and could be used as a prospective tool for this class of drugs.

Abstract
1. Allometric scaling has previously been used as an effective tool for the prediction of human pharmacokinetic data. The pharmacokinetic data for linezolid, a novel oxazolidinone to treat Gram-positive pathogens, in mice, rats and dogs were subjected to simple allometric scaling. Generated allometric equations for parameters such as clearance (CL), volume of distribution (Vss) and elimination rate constant (K10) were used to predict human pharmacokinetic parameters including elimination half-lives. In addition, the human plasma concentration-time curve was simulated using a one-compartmental model. 2. Application of simple allometry (Y = aWb) for animal parameters such as CL, Vss, and K10 showed excellent allometric fit (r > or = 0.98). The allometric equations for CL, Vss, and K10 were -0.5465W(0.6595), -0.1369W(0.9246), and -0.4117W(-0.3139), respectively. The confidence in predictability of CL and Vss parameters was particularly high since the allometric exponents of CL and Vss almost approached the suggested values of 0.75 and 1.00, respectively. 3. Animal pharmacokinetic parameters generated in the present authors' laboratories for linezolid were in close agreement with reported literature values. The predicted human values for CL (4.68 l h(-1)), Vss (37.07 litres), and K10 (0.10 h(-1)) were within the range observed for linezolid in the literature (CL = 4-10.5 l h(-1); Vss = 21-53 litres; K10 = 0.09-0.3 h(-1)). The human half-life (t(1/2)) predicted using allometry (6.9 h) was similar to reported values in humans of 5 h. In summary, the retrospective analysis for linezolid suggests that allometric scaling can be used as a prospective tool for predicting human pharmacokinetic parameters of novel oxazolidinones.

Abstract
An isocratic simple, specific, sensitive and reproducible high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed and validated for the estimation of DRF-6196, a novel oxazolidinone in mouse plasma. This method involves a simple liquid/liquid extraction of DRF-6196 and the internal standard (IS; chlorzoxazone, CAS 95-25-0) from plasma into dichloromethane/ethyl acetate mixture that was evaporated under nitrogen. The HPLC analysis was carried out on an Inertsil ODS 2 column using 0.01 mol/L potassium dihydorgen ortho phosphate (pH 3.2) and acetonitrile (65:35, v/v) as mobile phase. The eluate was monitored using an UV detector set at 266 nm. Ratio of peak area of analyte to IS was used for quantification of plasma samples. The retention time of DRF-6196 and IS were 8.2 and 11.1 min, respectively. The assay was linear (r2 > 0.999) in the concentration range 0.1-50 microg/ml. Absolute recovery for analyte and IS was > 94 % from mouse plasma. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of DRF-6196 was 0.1 microg/ml. The inter- and intra-day precision in the measurement of quality control (QC) samples, 0.1, 0.3, 15.0 and 40.0 microg/ml, were in the range 3.64 to 9.51 % relative standard deviation (RSD) and 0.92 to 6.23 % RSD, respectively. Accuracy in the measurement of QC samples was in the range 88.15 to 106.05 % of the nominal values. The analyte and IS were stable in the stability studies viz., benchtop, autosampler and freeze/thaw cycles. The stability of DRF-6196 was established for 1 month at -80 degrees C. The assay method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of DRF-6196 in mice.

The organic layer was separated and evaporated under a gentle stream of nitrogen at 40 degrees C. The residue was reconstituted in the mobile phase and injected onto a Kromasil KR 100-5C(18) column (4.6 x 250 mm, 5 microm). The mobile phase consisting of 0.01 M potassium dihydrogen ortho-phosphate (pH 3.2) and acetonitrile (40:60, v/v) was used at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The eluate was monitored using an UV detector set at 247 nm. The ratio of peak area of analyte to IS was used for quantification of plasma samples. Nominal retention times of DRF-4367 and IS were 6.6 and 11.2 min, respectively. The standard curve for DRF-4367 was linear (r(2) > 0.999) in the concentration range 0.1-20 micro g/mL. Absolute recovery was >86% from rat plasma for both analyte and IS. The lower limit of quantification of DRF-4367 was 0.1 micro g/mL. The inter- and intra-day precisions in the measurement of quality control samples, 0.1, 0.3, 8.0 and 15.0 microg/mL, were in the range 6.93-9.34% relative standard deviation (RSD) and 0.48-6.59% RSD, respectively. Accuracy in the measurement of QC samples was in the range 91.24-109.36% of the nominal values. Analyte and IS were stable in the battery of stability studies, viz. benchtop, autosampler and freeze-thaw cycles. Stability of DRF-4367 was established for 1 month at -80 degrees C. The application of the assay to a pharmacokinetic study in rats is described.
