    Abstract:
    BMS-708163 is a gamma-secretase inhibitor that is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Several LC-MS/MS methods have been developed for the determination of BMS-708163 in both plasma and cerebrospinal fluid in support of dog, rat, mouse and human studies. To support non-clinical studies, an LC-MS/MS method with a lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of 5 ng/mL, was developed and validated in dog, rat, and mouse plasma by using the deprotonated ion as the precursor ion. To support clinical studies, an LC-MS/MS method with LLOQ of 0.1 ng/mL, was developed and validated in human plasma by using the formate adduct as the precursor ion. Formic acid (0.01%) in water and acetonitrile was found to be the most favorable mobile phases for both deprotonated and formate adduct ions in negative electrospray ionization mode. A combination of a 3M Empore C18 plate for SPE and a Waters Atlantis dC18 analytical column for separation was used to achieve a highly selective solid phase extraction and chromatographic procedure from plasma without dry down and reconstitution steps. In the development of an assay for BMS-708163 in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), significant non-specific binding of BMS-708163 was observed and resolved with pre- or post-spike of 0.2% Tween 20 into CSF samples. A dilute-and-shoot LC-MS/MS method with LLOQ of 0.1 ng/mL was developed and validated to assess BMS-708163 exposure in human CSF.
