Development of a robust, sensitive and selective liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay for the quantification of the novel macrocyclic peptide kappa opioid receptor antagonist [D-Trp]CJ-15,208 in plasma and application to an initial pharmacokinetic study.
Journal of Chromatography. B, Analytical Technologies in the Biomedical and Life Sciences 2016 August 16
Selective kappa opioid receptor (KOR) antagonists may have therapeutic potential as treatments for substance abuse and mood disorders. Since [D-Trp]CJ-15,208 (cyclo[Phe-d-Pro-Phe-d-Trp]) is a novel potent KOR antagonist in vivo, it is imperative to evaluate its pharmacokinetic properties to assist the development of analogs as potential therapeutic agents, necessitating the development and validation of a quantitative method for determining its plasma levels. A method for quantifying [D-Trp]CJ-15,208 was developed employing high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in mouse plasma. Sample preparation was accomplished through a simple one-step protein precipitation method with acetonitrile, and [D-Trp]CJ-15,208 analyzed following HPLC separation on a Hypersil BDS C8 column. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM), based on the transitions m/z 578.1→217.1 and 245.0, was specific for [D-Trp]CJ-15,208, and MRM based on the transition m/z 566.2→232.9 was specific for the internal standard without interference from endogenous substances in blank mouse plasma. The assay was linear over the concentration range 0.5-500ng/mL with a mean r(2)=0.9987. The mean inter-day accuracy and precision for all calibration standards were 93-118% and 8.9%, respectively. The absolute recoveries were 85±6% and 81±9% for [D-Trp]CJ-15,208 and the internal standard, respectively. The analytical method had excellent sensitivity with a lower limit of quantification of 0.5ng/mL using a sample volume of 20μL. The method was successfully applied to an initial pharmacokinetic study of [D-Trp]CJ-15,208 following intravenous administration to mice.
