ABSTRACT
BMS-068645 is a selective adenosine 2A agonist that contains a methyl ester group which undergoes esterase hydrolysis to its acid metabolite. To permit accurate determinations of circulating BMS-068645 and its acid metabolite, blood samples must be rapidly stabilized at the time of collection. A sensitive, rapid and specific liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method for the simultaneous quantitation of BMS-068645 and its acid metabolite in human plasma has been developed and validated using diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) as the esterase inhibitor to prevent BMS-068645 from converting to its acid metabolite. The D(5)-stable isotope labeled analogs of BMS-068645 and its metabolite were used as the internal standards (IS). Analytes and IS in plasma containing 20 mM DFP were acidified and extracted into methyl tert-butyl ether. The liquid-liquid extraction effectively eliminated the strong matrix effect caused by the esterase inhibitor. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a Waters Atlantis C18 column with a run time of 4 min. Detection was performed on a Sciex API 4000 with positive ion electrospray mode (ESI/MS/MS), monitoring the ion transitions m/z 487>314 and 473>300 for BMS-068645 and its acid metabolite, respectively. The method was validated over the range from 0.020 to 10.0 ng/mL for BMS-068645 and 0.050 to 10.0 ng/mL for its acid metabolite. Inter- and intra-run precision for the quality control samples during validation were less than 8.7% and 4.0%, respectively, for the two analytes. The assay accuracy was within +/-5.4% of the nominal values. The esterase inhibitor effectively stabilized BMS-068645 during blood collection and storage. Blood collection tubes containing DFP were easily prepared and used at the clinical sites and could be stored at -30 degrees C for 3 months. This method demonstrated adequate sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, precision, stability and ruggedness to support the analysis of human plasma samples in pharmacokinetic studies.
