Background: AMG 517 or 1-aminobenzotriazole were quantified by LC-MS/MS from low blood/plasma volumes for rat pharmacokinetic (PK) characterization in order to qualify manual/automated dried blood spot (DBS) sampling and plasma separation capillary sampling. In addition, mouse serial automated blood sampling was compared with standard composite sampling.

Materials & Methods: AMG 517 or 1-aminobenzotriazole was administered to rats or mice and multiple microsampling techniques were used to obtain blood or plasma.

Results: PK parameters derived from DBS and whole blood-obtained drug concentrations were within 7% for manual DBS and 20% for automated DBS. Plasma PK parameters derived from capillary or standard plasma-obtained drug concentrations differed by 6%. Plasma PK parameters obtained from serial automated blood sampling or manual composite sampling were within 20%.

Conclusion: Collectively, these results suggest that the microsampling applications that were investigated are attractive approaches for quantifying drug candidates in low matrix volumes that can be successfully employed within discovery-stage rodent PK studies.

Free (unbound) drug concentration at the site of action is the key determinant of biologic activity since only unbound drugs can exert pharmacological and toxicological effects. Unbound drug concentration in tumors for solid cancers is needed to understand/explain/predict pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy relations. Fraction unbound ( ) in tumors is usually determined across several xenografted tumors derived from various cell lines in the drug discovery stage, which is time consuming and a resource burden.

A STING (stimulator of interferon genes) agonist GSK3996915 under investigation in early discovery for hepatitis B was orally dosed to a mouse model for understanding the parent drug distribution in liver, the target organ. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) was used to quantify the distribution of GSK3996915 in liver collected from mice administered a single oral dose at 90 mg/kg. GSK3996915 was detected with a zonal distribution localized in the portal triad and highly concentrated in the main bile ducts, indicating clearance through biliary excretion.
