Stability Study, Quantification Method and Pharmacokinetics Investigation of a Coumarin-Monoterpene Conjugate Possessing Antiviral Properties against Respiratory Syncytial Virus.

The stability of a new coumarin derivative, agent K-142, bearing α-pinene residue and possessing antiviral activity against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was studied in whole mice blood in vitro, and a method for its quantification in this matrix was developed and validated. The sample preparation method was precipitation of whole blood with a mixture of 0.2 M ZnSO with MeOH (2:8 /) containing 2-adamantylamine hydrochloride as an internal standard (IS).

Untargeted search and identification of metabolites of antiviral agent camphecene in rat urine by liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry and studying their distribution in organs following peroral administration of the compound.

Major metabolites of camphecene, a new effective antiviral agent, formed after its oral administration to rats and excreted in the urine, were found and identified using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry as well as multivariate analysis of HPLC-MS data. The metabolites were found to be camphecene glucuronide, camphecene sulfate and the corresponding iminoacid. A study of the dynamics of accumulation of camphecene and its metabolites in the liver, kidneys, lungs and brain of animals was performed.
