Developing LC-MS/MS methods to quantify rivaroxabanin human plasma and urine: Application to therapeutic drug monitoring.

Rivaroxaban is an oral anticoagulant directly inhibiting the activity of Factor Xa, which is widely used for the prophylaxis of thromboembolic disorders. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is required during therapy for individual dosage adjustment. This study aimed at developing a liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method that was suitable for rivaroxaban TDM in human plasma and urine and exploring the feasibility of urine drug monitoring in medical care.

In Silico Modeling and Simulation to Guide Bioequivalence Testing for Oral Drugs in a Virtual Population.

Model-informed drug discovery and development (MID3) shows great advantages in facilitating drug development. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic model is one of the powerful computational approaches of MID3, and the emerging field of virtual bioequivalence is well recognized to be the future of the physiologically based pharmacokinetic model. Based on the translational link between in vitro, in silico, and in vivo, virtual bioequivalence study can evaluate the similarity and potential difference of pharmacokinetic and clinical performance between test and reference formulations.

Accelerating Development of Benziamidazole-Class Proton Pump Inhibitors: A Mechanism-Based PK/PD Model to Optimize Study Design with Ilaprazole as a Case Drug.

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the mainstay for treatment of acid-related diseases. This study developed a mechanism-based pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) model with ilaprazole as case drug, so as to support and accelerate the development of novel PPIs. The model was established and verified using the PK and PD data from 26 subjects receiving 5 to 30 mg of ilaprazole and 22 subjects receiving the loading dose of ilaprazole 20 mg followed by 10 mg once daily for 2 days.

Development of a rapid and sensitive UPLC-MS/MS assay for simultaneous quantitation of Vorolanib and its metabolite in human plasma and application to a pharmacokinetics study.

Vorolanib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR). A sensitive and specific LC-MS/MS assay was developed and fully validated for simultaneous quantification of vorolanib and its main metabolite X297 in human plasma. The two analytes were extracted from K2-EDTA plasma samples by protein precipitation (PP) with acetonitrile, and chromatographically separated on a C18 reverse-phase column using a gradient elution.

Simultaneous determination of indapamide, perindopril and its active metabolite perindoprilat in human plasma using UPLC-MS/MS method.

Lots of studies showed the combination therapy of perindopril, indapamide and amlodipine could increase BP lowering efficacy and the benefits of high-risk patients. To evaluate potential pharmacokinetic interaction, a simultaneous UPLC-MS/MS quantification method of perindopril, perindoprilat and indapamide in human plasma was developed and validated. The plasma samples were prepared by solid phase extraction, and then separated on an X-terra MS C (2.

Development of an LC-MS/MS method for quantifying ASK120067, a novel mutant-selective inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) as well as its main metabolite in human plasma and its application in a pharmacokinetic study.

ASK120067, an oral irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), is formulated for the management of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who harbor T790M resistant and EGFR active mutations. Two rapid and high-throughput methods based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to detect ASK120067 and its primary metabolite CCB4580030 in human plasma were developed and applied in the clinical trials. A protein precipitation method using acetonitrile coupled with a gradient elution separation in a BEH C18 column (1.

Development of an LC-MS/MS method for quantifying two main metabolites of abivertinib in human plasma.

Abivertinib represents a highly selective irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Two major metabolites of abivertinib, M7 and MII-6, were detected in human plasma, which are recommended to be monitored for safety reasons in clinical trial. A high-throughput quantification method utilizing liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was designed and verified to quantify abivertinib's primary metabolites in human plasma.
