Leishmaniasis, a fatal parasitic disease, is the second largest parasitic killer in the world and miltefosine is the first and only oral drug available for its treatment.
A rapid, sensitive and simple LC-MS/MS method for miltefosine quantification in hamster and human plasma was developed and validated over the range of 2.5-400 ng/ml. The mass spectrometric detection of the drug was carried out in multiple reaction monitoring mode (m/z 408.1→125.1) using an electrospray positive ionization. The protein precipitation method was employed for sample (50 µl) cleanup.
The proposed method provided accurate and precise high-throughput quantification of miltefosine in plasma and was successfully applied to its oral PK study in Golden Syrian hamsters.
利什曼病是一种致命的寄生虫病,是世界上第二大寄生虫杀手,而米替福新是第一种也是唯一一种可用于治疗该病的口服药物。
开发并验证了一种快速、灵敏且简单的液相色谱-串联质谱法,用于在仓鼠和人血浆中定量米替福新,定量范围为2.5 - 400 ng/ml。采用电喷雾正离子化,在多反应监测模式(m/z 408.1→125.1)下对该药物进行质谱检测。采用蛋白质沉淀法对50 μl样品进行净化处理。
所提出的方法可对血浆中的米替福新进行准确、精密的高通量定量,并成功应用于其在金黄叙利亚仓鼠中的口服药代动力学研究。
