Abstract:
An improved reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method (RP-HPLC) for the determination of a novel iron chelator CP502 (1,6-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4-(1H)-pyridinone-2-carboxy-(N-methyl)-amide hydrochloride) in rat plasma, urine and feces was developed and validated. The separation was performed on a polymeric column using a mobile phase composed of 1mM ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid disodium salt (EDTA), acetonitrile, methanol and methylene chloride. Separation of CP502 from plasma, urine or feces endogenous compounds was achieved by gradient elution. Retention times of CP502 and its major metabolite (glucuronide) were about 13 and 4 min, respectively. The method was validated in terms of limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), selectivity (endogenous from plasma, urine or feces), linearity, extraction recovery, robustness (column selection, mobile phase composition, detection mode, internal standard (IS) selection, analyte stability), day-to-day reproducibility and system suitability (repeatability, peak symmetry and resolution). The method is applicable to bioavailability and pharmacokinetic studies of CP502 in rats.
