Abstract
An ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was developed to assay the concentration for the quantification of cycloicaritin and its carbamate prodrug (3-O-L-valyl carbamate prodrug of cycloicaritin) in the plasma of Sprague-Dawley rats. Analytes were separated on an Acquity UPLC BEH C18 (2.1 × 50 mm, 1.7 μm) after liquid–liquid extraction with methyl tert-butyl ether. Acetonitrile and water containing 0.1 % formic acid were the mobile phases of the method. Using electrospray ionization in the positive ion mode, the method was performed with a total run time of 2.60 min. The response of the experiments was linear over the concentration ranges from 1 to 250 ng/mL for cycloicaritin and 1–250 ng/mL for prodrug. The intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy were within the recommended limits of the FDA. The matrix effect that we observed met the criteria. The method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetics of cycloicaritin and its carbamate prodrug in Sprague-Dawley rats.
