We herein describe the development and validation of an HPLC method for the quantitation of 7-(benzylamino)-1,3,4,8-tetrahydropyrrolo [4,3,2-de]quinolin-8(1H)-one (BA-TPQ), a newly synthesized iminoquinone anticancer agent. BA-TPQ was extracted from plasma and tissue samples by first precipitating proteins with acetonitrile followed by a liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate. Chromatographic separation was carried out using a gradient flow rate on a Zorbax SB C(18) column, and the effluent was monitored by UV detection at 346 nm. The method was found to be precise, accurate, and specific, with a linear range of 3.91-1955.0 ng/mL in plasma, 19.55-1955.0 ng/mL in spleen, brain, and liver homogenates and 19.55-3910.0 ng/mL in heart, lung and kidney homogenates. The method was stable under all relevant conditions. Using this method, we also carried out an initial study determining plasma pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of BA-TPQ in mice following intravenous administration. In summary, this simple and sensitive HPLC method can be used in future preclinical and clinical studies of BA-TPQ.
我们在此描述了一种用于定量7-(苄基氨基)-1,3,4,8-四氢吡咯并[4,3,2 - de]喹啉-8(1H)-酮(BA-TPQ)的高效液相色谱(HPLC)方法的开发与验证,BA-TPQ是一种新合成的亚氨基醌类抗癌剂。通过先用乙腈沉淀蛋白质,然后用乙酸乙酯进行液-液萃取,从血浆和组织样品中提取BA-TPQ。使用Zorbax SB C(18)柱上的梯度流速进行色谱分离,并通过在346 nm处的紫外检测监测流出物。该方法被发现具有精密度高、准确性好和特异性强的特点,在血浆中的线性范围为3.91 - 1955.0 ng/mL,在脾脏、脑和肝脏匀浆中的线性范围为19.55 - 1955.0 ng/mL,在心脏、肺和肾脏匀浆中的线性范围为19.55 - 3910.0 ng/mL。该方法在所有相关条件下均稳定。使用此方法,我们还进行了一项初步研究,以确定静脉给药后小鼠体内BA-TPQ的血浆药代动力学和组织分布。总之,这种简单且灵敏的HPLC方法可用于未来BA-TPQ的临床前和临床研究。
