Electronic effect-dependent intramolecular non-covalent interactions on the activity of 4,4-dimethylimidazolidin-2-one pharmacophore-based androgen receptor antagonists.

Because androgen receptor (AR) signalling is important for the development and progression of prostate cancer (PC), AR antagonists are utilized in clinical practices to treat PC and are referred to as androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). However, continued administration of AR antagonists often results in the development of resistance, known as castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Despite castration, it has been demonstrated that AR signalling continues to be fundamental to tumour growth.

LC-MS/MS method development for quantification of busulfan in human plasma and its application in pharmacokinetic study.

A simple, rapid, specific and precise liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrophotometric (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for quantification of busulfan, in human plasma. busulfan d8 was used as internal standard, added to plasma sample prior to extraction using acetonitrile as a precipitating agent. Chromatographic separation was achieved on phenomenex kinetex C18 column (50mm×2.
