Introduction:
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a cutting-edge approach in cancer therapy, with monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) frequently used as a payload in ADC development. We have established a novel bioanalytical method characterized by high sensitivity, accuracy, and efficiency for quantifying MMAE in cynomolgus monkey plasma.
Methodology:
MMAE was extracted using liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and quantified by Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Results: The method exhibited excellent linearity across a concentration range of 5 to 3000 pg/mL (r ≥ 0.99) in cynomolgus monkey plasma, it fulfilled precision (CV ≤ 15%, 20% for lower limit of quantification (LLOQ)) and accuracy (83.98-112.75%) criteria according to meeting validation requirements per regulatory bioanalytical validation guidelines.
Conclusion:
This validated method is instrumental in exploring the in vivo pharmacokinetic profile of ADC and elucidating their exposure-response dynamics.
