An accurate and sensitive LC-MS/MS method for determining thalidomide, 5-hydroxy thalidomide and 5'-hydroxy thalidomide in human plasma was developed and validated using umbelliferone as an internal standard. The analytes were extracted from plasma (100 μL) by liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate and then separated on a BETASIL C column (4.6 × 150 mm, 5 μm) with mobile phase composed of methanol-water containing 0.1% formic acid (70:30, v/v) in isocratic mode at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The detection was performed using an API triple quadrupole mass spectrometer in atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mode. The precursor-to-product ion transitions m/z 259.1 → 186.1 for thalidomide, m/z 273.2 → 161.3 for 5-hydroxy thalidomide, m/z 273.2 → 146.1 for 5'-hydroxy thalidomide and m/z 163.1 → 107.1 for umbelliferone (internal standard, IS) were used for quantification. The calibration curves were obtained in the concentrations of 10.0-2000.0 ng/mL for thalidomide, 0.2-50.0 ng/mL for 5-hydroxy thalidomide and 1.0-200.0 ng/mL for 5'-hydroxy thalidomide. The method was validated with respect to linear, within- and between-batch precision and accuracy, extraction recovery, matrix effect and stability. Then it was successfully applied to estimate the concentration of thalidomide, 5-hydroxy thalidomide and 5'-hydroxy thalidomide in plasma samples collected from Crohn's disease patients after a single oral administration of thalidomide 100 mg.

Bioactivation of 5-hydroxy-[carbonyl-(14)C]thalidomide, a known metabolite of thalidomide, by human artificial or native cytochrome P450 3A enzymes, and nonspecific binding in livers of mice was assessed using two-dimensional electrophoresis combined with accelerator mass spectrometry. The apparent major target proteins were liver microsomal cytochrome c oxidase subunit 6B1 and ATP synthase subunit α in mice containing humanized P450 3A genes or transplanted humanized liver. Liver cytosolic retinal dehydrogenase 1 and glutathione transferase A1 were targets in humanized mice with P450 3A and hepatocytes, respectively.

Thalidomides were initially thought to be broad-range drugs specifically for curing insomnia and relieving morning sickness in pregnant women. However, its use was discontinued because of a major drawback of causing teratogenicity. In this study, we found that a thalidomide derivative, 5-hydroxy-2-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione (5HPP-33), inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7 with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 4.

The sedative and antiemetic drug thalidomide [α-(N-phthalimido)glutarimide] was withdrawn in the early 1960s because of its potent teratogenic effects but was approved for the treatment of lesions associated with leprosy in 1998 and multiple myeloma in 2006. The mechanism of teratogenicity of thalidomide still remains unclear, but it is well-established that metabolism of thalidomide is important for both teratogenicity and cancer treatment outcome. Thalidomide is oxidized by various cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes, the major one being P450 2C19, to 5-hydroxy-, 5'-hydroxy-, and dihydroxythalidomide.

Anti-microtubule agents such as paclitaxel and docetaxel have played an important role in the treatment of cancer for many years. Recently, a small molecule that has a taxol-like mode of action (5HPP-33) was reported. Herein, the detailed structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of 5HPP-33 analogs that are substituted at the isoindole and phenyl rings are described.
