Abstract
1. The current investigation was to develop and validate the LC-MS/MS method in order to analyse the various pharmacokinetic parameters of S019-0385. A sensitive, selective, and robust LC-MS/MS approach was established and validated for measuring S019-0385 in female mice plasma and tissue, using optimal multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) transition m/z 488.25/329.12 on positive mode. On a Waters Symmetry Shield C18 column, the analyte was separated using acetonitrile and deionised water with formic acid within 6 min at 0.7 mL/min. Linearity (R2 ≥ 0.99) was observed across 0.195–100 ng/mL concentration range using linear least-squares regression.
2. Blood-to-plasma ratio and plasma protein drug binding (%) in mice and human was assessed and found to be less than 1 and >83%, respectively. Absolute bioavailability (%F) of S019-0385 in female Swiss mice was exhibited to be 6.90%. Percent dose excreted S019-0385 in unchanged form through urine and faecal was found to be less than 2% and 0.5%, respectively.
3. Following oral administration at 5 mg/kg, the concentration of S019-0385 in tissue distribution was found to be in the order of C small intestine > C bone > C lung > C spleen > C kidney > C liver > C heart > C brain.
