LC-MS/MS bioanalytical method for quantification of binimetinib and venetoclax, and their pharmacokinetic interaction.

Abstract

Aim: Because of several prospective benefits, binimetinib (BMT)-venetoclax (VTC) combination can be a better therapeutic strategy to treat cancer. Results: An LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous quantification of BMT and VTC in rat plasma has been developed and validated. Specificity, accuracy, precisionand stability results met the acceptance criteria for validation. Accuracy and precisions at all quality control levels were <15%. The study revealed that co-administration of BMT and VTC has no significant effect on their pharmacokinetics. Conclusion: The developed method can provide accurate results for quantification of BMT and VTC over the range of 5-500ng/ml. The reported pharmacokinetic interaction study results will be useful for future consideration of the combined treatment of BMT and VTC in anticancer chemotherapy regimens.
