- Abstract
Topoisomerase I (Topo I) is a recognized target for ovarian, lung, and colorectal cancer therapy. The FDA-approved camptothecin (CPT) Topo I inhibitors, topotecan and irinotecan are labile and their effects are rapidly reversible. The indenoisoquinoline topoisomerase I inhibitors, NSC 743400 and NSC 725776, have been developed as a new generation of Topo I inhibitors and are being advanced to clinical evaluation. To support the clinical development of NSC 743400 and NSC 725776, we developed and validated, according to FDA guidelines, LC-MS/MS assays for the sensitive, accurate and precise quantitation of NSC 743400 and NSC 725776 in 0.2 mL human plasma. After ethyl acetate extraction, separation was achieved with a Synergi Polar RP column and a gradient of 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile:water. NSC 743400 and NSC 725776 eluted at approximately 3 min, and the total run time was 14 min. Detection consisted of electrospray, positive-mode ionization mass spectrometry. Between 3 and 1000 ng/mL, accuracy was 96.9-108.2% for NSC 743400 and 95.1-106.7% for NSC 725776, and precision was <11.4% for NSC 743400 and <5.9% for NSC 725776. Extraction recovery was >80% for both analytes, and ion suppression ranged from -46.7 to 5.7%. The use of isotopically labeled internal standards and a wash phase at the end of the run were necessary to achieve adequate assay performance. Protein binding in human plasma as assessed by equilibrium dialysis showed both indenoisoquinolines to be more than 98% protein bound., (2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.)
