Two simple, sensitive and reproducible methods for determination of total mycophenolic acid (MPA) and its glucuronide metabolite (MPAG) as well as unbound MPA (fMPA) was developed by the use of HPLC-UV and LC-MS/MS methods, respectively. For the total MPA/MPAG method, the analytes were extracted using Isolute C(2) solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges and analyzed at 254 nm over a Zorbax Rx C(8) column (150 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm). The mobile phase was a gradient mixture of methanol and water (containing 0.1% (v/v) phosphoric acid). The total run time was 18 min and the extraction recovery was 77% for MPA and 84% for MPAG. The method was precise and accurate with a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 0.5 mg/l for MPA and 5.0 mg/l for MPAG. For the fMPA method, plasma was subjected to ultrafiltration followed by SPE using C(18) cartridges. Analytical column was the same as the HPLC-UV method and the mobile phase was a gradient composition of methanol:0.05% formic acid with a flow rate of 0.6 ml/min for the first 3 min and 0.7 ml for the last 4 min. The chromatographic method separated MPA from its metabolites MPAG and Acyl-MPAG. Mass transitions in negative ionization mode for MPA and the internal standard, indomethacin were m/z: 319-->190.9 and m/z: 356-->312.2, respectively. The assay was linear in the concentration range of 1-1000 microg/l for fMPA with a LLOQ of 1 microg/l and an accuracy of >95%. The two methods reported have an adequate degree of robustness and dynamic concentration range for the measurement of MPA, MPAG and fMPA for therapeutic drug monitoring purposes or pharmacokinetics investigations.  相似文献

An high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-UV method for the simultaneous determination of the free forms of mycophenolic acid (MPA) and its phenol glucuronide (MPAG) in human serum samples was developed for the first time. Chromatographic separation was performed on octadecylsilane based stationary phase in combination with a mobile phase of methanol/buffered tetrabutylammonium (TBA) salt mixture. Sample pretreatment consisted of an ultrafiltration step followed by clean-up/enrichment on a C(18) solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge. Average recoveries of (99.7 +/- 0.2)% and (64.1 +/- 6.9)% for free MPA and MPAG, respectively, were estimated in the concentration range from 0.5 to 10 microg/ml. The within-day and between-days coefficients of variation were 0.4 and 0.8% for free MPA (0.1 microg/ml spiking level) and 0.8 and 1.6% for free MPAG (5 microg/ml spiking level), respectively. The linear ranges for free MPA and MPAG were 0.06-1 and 0.2-10microg/ml, respectively. Detection limits of 4 and 17 ng/ml for free MPA and MPAG were estimated in spiked serum. The same HPLC method was also capable of a simultaneous determination of the total concentration of MPA and MPAG when coupled to a proper sample pretreatment step. The potential of the method is demonstrated by excretion kinetics measurement in serum of patients receiving MMF therapy.  相似文献

The immunosuppressant drug mycophenolic acid (MPA) and its major metabolite, mycophenolic acid glucuronide (MPAG), are highly bound to albumin. An HPLC-tandem-MS (HPLC/MS/MS) and an HPLC-UV assay were developed to measure free (unbound) concentrations of MPA and MPAG, respectively. Ultrafiltrate was prepared from plasma (500 microl) by ultrafiltration at 3000 x g for 20 min (20 degrees C). Both MPA and MPAG were isolated from ultrafiltrate (100 microl) by acidification and C18 solid-phase extraction. Free MPA was measured by electrospray tandem mass spectrometry using selected reactant monitoring (MPA: m/z 338.2--> 206.9) in positive ionisation mode. Chromatography was performed on a PFPP column (50 mm x 2 mm, 5 microm). Total analysis time was 7 min. The assay was linear over the range 1-200 microg/l with a limit of quantification of 1 microg/l. The inter-day accuracy and imprecision of quality controls (7.5, 40, 150 microg/l) were 94-99% and < 7%, respectively. Free MPAG was chromatographed on a C18 Nova-Pak column (150 mm x 3.9 mm, 5 microm) using a binary gradient over 20 min. The eluent was monitored at 254 nm. The assay was linear over the range 1-50 mg/l with the limit of quantification at 2.5 mg/l. The inter-day accuracy and imprecision of quality controls (5, 20, 45 mg/l) was 101-107% and < 8% (n = 4), respectively. For both methods no interfering substances were found in ultrafiltrate from patients not receiving MPA. The methods described have a suitable dynamic linear range to facilitate the investigation of free MPA and MPAG pharmacokinetics in transplant patients. Further, this is the first reported HPLC-UV method to determine free MPAG concentrations.  相似文献

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of mycophenolic acid (MPA) and its glucuronide conjugate (MPAG) in human plasma. The method involves protein precipitation with acetonitrile, followed by ion-pair reversed-phase chromatography on C18 column, with a 40 mM tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (TBA)–acetonitrile (65:35, v/v) mobile phase. A 20-μl volume of clear supernatant was injected after centrifugation, and the eluent was monitored at 304 nm. No interference was found either with endogenous substances or with many concurrently used drugs, indicating a good selectivity for the procedure. Calibration curves were linear over a concentration range of 0.5–20.0 μg/ml for MPA and 5–200 μg/ml for MPAG. The accuracy of the method is good, that is, the relative error is below 5%. The intra- and inter-day reproducibility of the analytical method is adequate with relative statistical deviations of 6% or below. The limits of quantification for MPA and MPAG were lower than 0.5 and 5.0 μg/ml, respectively, using 50 μl of plasma. The method was used to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of MPA and MPAG following oral administration in a patient with renal transplantation.  相似文献

A reversed-phase HPLC-UV method, involving simple instrumental setup and mobile phase without ion-pairing reagent, was developed and validated for direct simultaneous quantification of free mycophenolic acid (MPA) and its major metabolite MPA-glucuronide (MPAG) in human plasma. Both free MPA and MPAG were isolated from plasma samples using ultrafiltration prior to analysis. Each chromatographic run was completed within 13 min. The optimized method showed good performance in terms of specificity, linearity (r(2)=0.9999), sensitivity (limit of quantitation (LOQ): 0.005 mg/L for MPA; 1 mg/L for MPAG), and intra- and inter-day precision (R.S.D.<7%). This assay was successfully applied to free MPA and MPAG measurements in clinical samples.  相似文献

Simultaneous determination of mycophenolic acid (MPA) and mycophenolate phenol glucuronide (MPAG) in plasma and urine was accomplished by isocratic HPLC with UV detection. Plasma was simply deproteinated with acetonitrile and concentrated, whereas urine was diluted prior to analysis. Linearity was observed from 0.2 to 50 μg/ml for both MPA and MPAG in plasma and from 1 to 50 μg/ml of MPA and 5 to 2000 μg/ml MPAG in urine with extraction recovery from plasma greater than 70%. Detection limits using 0.25 ml plasma were 0.080 and 0.20 μg/ml for MPA and MPAG, respectively. The method is more rapid and simple than previous assays for MPA and MPAG in biological fluids from patients.  相似文献

A method to determine total and free mycophenolic acid (MPA) and its metabolites, the phenolic (MPAG) and acyl (AcMPAG) glucuronides, using HPLC and mass spectrometry was developed. Mean recoveries in plasma and urine samples were >85%, and the lower limits of quantification for MPA, MPAG and AcMPAG were 0.05, 0.05 and 0.01 mg/L, respectively. For plasma, the assay was linear over 0.05-50 mg/L for MPA and MPAG, and from 0.01 to 10mg/L for AcMPAG. A validation study demonstrated good inter- and intra-day precision (CV相似文献

A simple, sensitive and reproducible HPLC method is presented for the simultaneous determination of mycophenolic acid (MPA) and its metabolites phenolic MPA-glucuronide (MPAG) and acyl glucuronide (AcMPAG) in human plasma. Sample purification requires protein precipitation with 0.1 M phosphoric acid/acetonitrile in the presence of Epilan D as an internal standard (IS). Separation was performed by reversed-phase HPLC, using a Zorbax SB-C18 column, 32% acetonitrile and a 40 mM phosphoric acid buffer at pH 3.0 as mobile phase; column temperature was 50 degrees C, flow rate 1.4 ml/min, and measurement by UV detection was at 215 nm (run time 12 min). The method requires only 50 microl plasma. Detection limits were 0.1 microg/ml for MPA and AcMPAG, and 2.0 microg/ml for MPAG, respectively. Mean absolute recovery of all three analytes was >95%. This analytical method for the determination of MPA and its metabolites is a reliable and convenient procedure that meets the criteria for application in routine clinical drug monitoring and pharmacokinetic studies.  相似文献

A simple high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed for the assay of total and free mycophenolic acid (MPA) in human plasma. Prior to analysis, total mycophenolic acid was extracted by protein precipitation and free drug was isolated from plasma samples using ultrafiltration. The extracts were injected onto a Kromasil C8 column at 30 degrees C with excitation and emission wavelengths set at 342 and 425 nm, respectively. The mobile phase was consisted of acetonitrile-32 mM glycine buffer, pH 9.2 (20:80, v/v), at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The method was found to be linear over the concentration range investigated, 0.05-40 mg/l for total mycophenolic acid (r>0.999) and 5-1000 microg/l (r>0.99) for free drug. The percentage error of the analytical method was below 10.9%. The intra- and inter-day reproducibility was adequate with the coefficients of variation of 8.28% or below. The run time were 4 and 6 min for free and total MPA, respectively. The method thus can be effectively applied to measure mycophenolic acid concentrations in clinical samples.  相似文献

A manual and an automated (Zymark PyTechnology robot) HPLC method for simultaneous determination of plasma mycophenolic acid (MPA) and its glucuronide conjugate (MPAG) are described here. Both methods are reproducible and accurate, and both are equivalent in all respects, including quantification limits (MPA, 0.100 μg/ml; MPAG, 4.00 μg/ml), range (using 0.05–0.5 ml of plasma: MPA, 0.0500–20.0 μg/aliquot; MPAG, 2.00–200 μg/aliquot), precision, and accuracy. MPA and MPAG were stable under the conditions used with both methods. Results from aliquots of paired control samples, analyzed by the manual method over three years at six analytical laboratories, showed excellent agreement in precision and accuracy.  相似文献

Chronic combination immunosuppressive regimens are commonly prescribed to renal transplant recipients. To develop an assay method for pharmacokinetic studies and therapeutic drug monitoring of multiple immunosuppressives, a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) approach for the simultaneous analysis of several glucocorticoids, mycophenolic acid (MPA) and mycophenolic acid glucuronide (MPAG) was investigated. The resultant method utilized a gradient reverse phase separation over a Symmetry C18 column using an ammonium acetate-methanol mobile phase at pH 3.5. The analytes were detected by coupling the chromatography system via electrospray to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. Multiple-reaction monitoring in the negative mode ion (MH-/product) was employed selecting MPA at 319.1/190.9, MPAG at 495.1/191.0, dexamethasone at 391.0/361.0, hydrocortisone at 361.1/331.1, methylprednisolone at 373.1/343.1, prednisone at 357.1/327.2, and prednisolone at 359.1/329.1. The calibration curve concentrations ranged from 3.60 ng/mL to 50 microg/mL with the lowest limit of quantitation for corticosteroids being 3.60-7.20 ng/mL and 0.656-6.75 microg/mL for MPA and MPAG, respectively. The relative standard deviation for quality control intraday variation and interday variation was between 0.76% and 9.57% for all analytes. This assay offers a versatile, unique method for multi-analyte immunosuppressive determinations during combination immunosuppression.  相似文献

A simple, accurate and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method with UV detection was carried out to measure plasma concentrations of mycophenolic acid. Following a simplified acid hydrolysis of the sample, the separation was carried out in 4 min using a Zorbax Eclipse C(8) reversed-phase column with a flow-rate of 1.5 ml/min, and monitoring the absorbance at 250 nm. Throughput was up to 100 samples in 24 h. Within the investigated concentration ranges of mycophenolic acid (0-100 mg/l), good linearity (r>0.99) was obtained. The method is sensitive (the limit of detection was about 20 microg/l) and precise (for 0.49 mg/l added to plasma, within-run C.V. was 2% and between-run was 4.2%; for 2.88 mg/l, within-run C.V. was 0.35% and between-run C.V. was 0.69%; for 24.38 mg/l, within-run C.V. was 0.77% and between-run C.V. was 3.1%). Analytical recoveries were 96% for 0.5 mg/l mycophenolic acid added to plasma, 100% for 12 mg/l and 102.5% for 24 mg/l.  相似文献

A simple and reproducible reversed-phase ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method using isocratic elution with UV absorbance detection is presented for the simultaneous quantitation of mycophenolic acid (MPA) and MPA-glucuronide (MPAG) in human plasma and urine. The sample preparation procedures involved simple protein precipitation for plasma and 10-fold dilution for urine. Each analytical run was completed within 15min, with MPAG and MPA being eluted at 3.8 and 11.4min, respectively. The optimized method showed good performance in terms of specificity, linearity, detection and quantitation limits, precision and accuracy. This assay was demonstrated to be applicable for clinical pharmacokinetic studies.  相似文献

A simple and sensitive HPLC method for the simultaneous analysis of free MPA and free MPAG was developed. Separation was achieved on a X-Terra RP18 column with acetonitrile-40 mM orthophosphoric acid as eluents using a gradient elution mode over 35 min at a flow rate of 1.5 ml/min. The assay was linear in the range 0.005 mg/L (LOQ) to 5mg/L for free MPA and 0.05 mg/L (LOQ) to 200 mg/L for free MPAG. Isolation of free MPA and free MPAG was done by ultrafiltration and the ultrafiltrate was directly injected. A positive correlation between MPA free fractions and free MPAG concentrations was found. Likewise, free MPAG was related to total MPAG concentrations in the seven heart transplant patients.  相似文献

We describe a novel sensitive and simplified gradient HPLC assay for quantification of the immunosuppressant mycophenolic acid (MPA) in rat and human plasma. In contrast to previously reported MPA assays, our method used a single step extraction comprising addition of acetonitrile, which contained phenolphthalein glucoronic acid as internal standard, for protein precipitation. Linearity: 0.1–100 μg/ml (r2>0.999), mean recoveries: MPA 98.0%, internal standard 105.2%, mean intra-day precision: 4.3%, mean day-to-day precision: 4.3%, mean day-to-day accuracy: −1.5%. Sensitivity was sufficient to allow for quantification of mycophenolic acid in as little as 50 μl plasma.  相似文献

A molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction coupled with high performance liquid chromatography (MISPE-HPLC) method was developed for rapid screening of mycophenolic acid (MPA) in human plasma. MPA imprinted polymers (MPA-MIP) were synthesized and then tested for their performance both in organic and in aqueous solution. MPA was selectively trapped and preconcentrated on the MPA-MIP sorbent using different loading and washing conditions. The good selectivity of MPA-MIP enabled further clean-up of the interfering components in human plasma. For the proposed MISPE-HPLC method, the linearity between responses (peak area) and concentration was found over the range of 1-100microg/ml with a linear regression coefficient (R(2)) of 0.9989. The limit of detection (LOD) and theoretical limit of quantification (LOQ) for MPA in plasma were 0.10 and 0.32microg/ml, respectively. The precisions were 7.3, 3.5 and 4.7% RSD for intra-day assay and 9.2, 4.1 and 5.5% RSD for inter-day reproducibility, respectively, at three concentration levels of MPA in spiked plasma (1, 10 and 100microg/ml). Both recoveries for the extraction (more than 74%) and for the analytical method (more than 87%) were acceptable for screening MPA in plasma samples. Twelve-hour pharmacokinetic profile of MPA for a renal transplant recipient receiving chronic oral dosing of 500mg mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) was investigated. Results indicated that this method could be applied for therapeutic drug monitoring of mycophenolic acid in patient plasma.  相似文献

A sensitive and specific HPLC-MS/MS method was developed for the analysis of mycophenolic acid glucuronide (MPAG) in incubations with human liver microsomes. Incubation samples were processed by protein precipitation with acetonitrile. MPAG and the internal standard phenolphthalein glucuronide were chromatographed on a C18 Synergi Fusion-RP column (100 mm x 2 mm, 4 microm) using gradient elution with a mixture of 1mM acetic acid in deionized water and 1mM acetic acid in acetonitrile at a flow rate of 0.22 mL/min. The mass spectrometer was operated with negative electrospray ionization and analysis was carried out in the single reaction monitoring (SRM) mode using the mass transitions of m/z 495-->319 and m/z 493-->175 for MPAG and phenolphthalein glucuronide, respectively. The MPAG calibration curve was linear over the concentration range of 1.0-20 microM. The within-day and between-day relative standard deviations ranged from 1.1 to 7.9% and accuracy was within 8%. The simple and reproducible method is suitable for measuring mycophenolic acid glucuronidation in microsomal incubations.  相似文献

Out of 36 strains of fungi of the genus Penicillium, some of which were isolated from ancient permafrost soils, 14 strains synthesized mycophenolic acid (MPA). Maximal (over 500 mg/l) accumulation of MPA in culture liquid was observed in P. brevicompactum strains (VKM F-457, VKM F-477, and VKM F-1150). This was the first study to detect MPA in representatives of the species P. rugulosum; in three strains of this species (VKM FW-665, VKM FW-717, and VKM FW-733), the level of MPA accumulation exceeded 300 mg/l. The time course of the synthesis of MPA by the P. rugulosum strain VKM FW-733 was studied. It was shown that the synthesis of this metabolite was dramatically intensified at the stationary growth phase (ten days).  相似文献

A solid phase microextraction (SPME)-HPLC-UV method for the determination of the immunosuppressant mycophenolic acid (MPA) in human serum samples was developed for the first time. The procedure, that employed a carbowax/templated resin (Carbowax/TPR-100) as fiber coating, required a very simple sample pretreatment, an isocratic elution, and provides an highly selective extraction. The linear range was 0.2-100 microg x ml(-1). Recovery was practically unchanged (63+/- 4%) passing from 0.2 to 100 microg x ml(-1) level. Within-day and between-days coefficient of variation ranged from 5.9 to 6.5% and from 8.8 to 9.2%, respectively. A detection limit of 0.05 microg x ml(-1) was estimated in spiked serum. The method was successfully applied to the determination of MPA in serum of a patient under mycophenolate mophetil ester (MMF) therapy, as demonstrated by the relevant concentration-time profiles.  相似文献
