    Abstract:
    A sensitive and rapid method was developed and validated for the quantitative analysis of the novel anticancer agent SZ-685C in rat plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) in negative ion mode in order to support the following pre-clinical and clinical studies. SZ-685C and the internal standard (IS, emodin) were extracted from rat plasma by a simple liquid-liquid extraction technique using ethyl acetate as extraction solvent. Chromatographic separation was performed on an Elite Hypersil BDS C18 column (100 mm × 2.1 mm i.d., 3 μm). Elution was carried out using methanol/acetonitrile/2mM ammonium formate (pH 4) (80:15:5 (v/v/v)) at a flow-rate of 0.3 mL/min with a run time of 2.5 min. This assay was linear over a concentration range of 50-10,000 ng/mL with a lower limit of quantification of 50 ng/mL. The intra- and inter-batch precision was less than 15% for all quality control samples at concentrations of 100, 1000 and 7500 ng/mL. These results indicate that the method was efficient with a short run time and acceptable accuracy, precision and sensitivity. This method was successfully applied to explore pharmacokinetics of SZ-685C in rats after oral and intravenous administration of this agent. The absolute bioavailability is about 54.8-66.8% and the t(1/2) is 5.7-9.2h, these results provide basic information for further comprehensive pre-clinical research.
