Abstract:
Olutasidenib is an inhibitor licensed by the FDA, indicated against mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1). For individuals with vulnerable IDH1 mutations, it has been demonstrated to be a very effective therapy for recurrent or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). After a long review procedure, olutasidenib was finally given an approval by the FDA in December of 2022. To determine the concentration of olutasidenib in rat plasma, an LC-MS/MS approach was applied. The drug ibrutinib serves as a standard for comparison. Inertsil ODS, 150 mm × 4.6 mm, 3.5 μm, mobile phase was Acetonitrile (ACN), and Ammonium formate buffer (AmF), pH 3.0 (50 : 50 v/v) at 1.0 ml min-1 was used for the separation process. Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) was adopted for both olutasidenib and the Internal standard (IS). Proton adducts of olutasidenib and ibrutinib were observed at m/z 354.8589 and 239.8107 and m/z 441.573 and 372.1236 in MRM positive mode, correspondingly. The approach was shown accurate throughout a range of 3.0-60.0 ng ml-1 and correlation values of (r 2) ≥ 0.999.6 replicates including olutasidenib at 4 distinct QC levels were analyzed to determine intra-assay precision and accuracy; the Coefficient of variations (CV) were reported to be 3.41% to 0.58% to 0.31% to 0.36, and the accuracy ranged from 97.40, 99.69, 99.4, and 99.16%, respectively, for LOQQC, LQC, MQC, and HQC. In a pharmacokinetic investigation using rat plasma, this strategy has proven effective.
Insights
A new LC-MS/MS method accurately measures olutasidenib in rat plasma for pharmacokinetic studies. This validated approach supports the use of olutasidenib (IDH1 inhibitor) for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacology and Toxicology
- Analytical Chemistry
- Oncology
Background:
- Olutasidenib is an FDA-approved inhibitor targeting isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) mutations.
- It is an effective therapy for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with susceptible IDH1 mutations.
- FDA approval was granted in December 2022 following an extensive review process.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a sensitive and accurate liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method.
- To determine the concentration of olutasidenib in rat plasma.
- To support pharmacokinetic investigations of olutasidenib.
Main Methods:
- Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was employed for analysis.
- Ibrutinib was used as an internal standard for comparison.
- Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) was utilized for sample preparation.
- A specific Inertsil ODS column and a mobile phase of Acetonitrile (ACN) and Ammonium formate buffer (AmF) were used for separation.
Main Results:
- The LC-MS/MS method demonstrated high accuracy within a concentration range of 3.0-60.0 ng/mL, with correlation coefficients (r²) ≥ 0.999.
- Intra-assay precision showed coefficients of variation (CV) ranging from 0.31% to 3.41%.
- Accuracy ranged from 97.40% to 99.69% across different quality control levels.
Conclusions:
- The developed LC-MS/MS method is accurate, precise, and effective for quantifying olutasidenib in rat plasma.
- This validated method is suitable for pharmacokinetic studies of olutasidenib.
- The findings contribute to the understanding of olutasidenib's behavior in vivo, aiding its therapeutic application in AML.
