ABSTRACT

LNA-i-miR-221, a 13-mer oligonucleotide, has proved favorable efficacy and safety profiles in the preclinical studies, leading to being approved for use in clinical trials by regulatory authorities. The objective of this study was to develop and validate LC-MS/MS methods to quantify LNA-i-miR-221 in human plasma and urine. Chromatographic separation was performed with a gradient system on HALO C18 column using hexafluoro-2-propanol/triethylamine buffer and methanol as mobile phase. LNA-i-miR-221 was detected on tandem mass spectrometer with electrospray ionization source in negative ion mode. The methods showed good linearity within the calibration range of 50-25000 ng/mL and 50-50000 ng/mL for human plasma and urine, respectively. The methods proved to be accurate, precise and selective in both human matrices. These validated methods are reliable and are currently in use to support a first-in-human clinical trial of LNA-i-miR-221 in patients affected by refractory multiple myeloma and advanced solid tumors.

ABSTRACT

AIM: Development of a high-sensitivity chiral LC-MS/MS method was required to evaluate a combination of pramipexole (S-PPX) and its enantiomer dexpramipexole (R-PPX) in a proposed clinical trial. The previously available methods suffered from low sensitivity for the (S)-enantiomer in the presence of the more abundant (R)-enantiomer. Based on the projected dosing regimen in the clinical trial, a 5000-fold improvement in sensitivity was required for the (S)-enantiomer. METHODOLOGY: Spiked human plasma samples were extracted by liquid-liquid extraction using ethyl acetate and injected onto a CHIRALPAK ID column under pH gradient conditions. CONCLUSION: An improved analytical method was developed and validated with a final LLQ for (S)-PPX of 0.1 ng/ml in the presence of 2000 ng/ml of (R)-PPX.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The plasma protein binding of drugs and metabolites is known to influence their pharmacokinetics and, therefore, their effects. Evaluating the extent and the linearity of protein binding is an essential piece of information that has to be generated during drug development. Blood cell partitioning has a similar relevance. AREAS COVERED: This paper summarizes the regulatory requirements and focuses particularly on two questions pertaining to the drug development process. The first of these questions asks when is it necessary to perform detailed clinical studies on protein binding while the second asks whether the in vitro studies presently performed in plasma produce biased information. EXPERT OPINION: The authors propose that clinical ex vivo protein-binding studies should be performed on highly bound compounds (a definition of highly bound is suggested as > 95%). They also propose that in vitro studies, to measure the free drug, should be performed in whole blood, rather than in plasma, particularly if binding to proteins or blood cells is nonlinear.
