摘要
Here we have presented a sensitive and selective LC-MS/MS method for the quantification of tyrphostin A9, which is a selective inhibitor for platelet derived growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase and has been investigated in vitro as a potent oxidative phosphorylation uncoupler. The murine analytical method was developed for three biological matrices: cell culture media, 3 T3-L1 cell lysate, and murine plasma. For each matrix the limit of detection and the limit of quantification were found to be 0.5 ng/mL and 1.0 ng/mL, respectively. The range of standard curve for each matrix was 1.0 e100 ng/mL, linearity was >0.99,and the precision and accuracy were within 20%. 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) propanoic acid was found to be the most suitable internal standard. The validated LC-MS/MS method was used to investigate stability and in vitro pharmacokinetics of tyrphostin A9. It was found that tyrphostin A9 is susceptible to hydrolysis, and the degradation product was identified as 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde. Tyrphostin A9 was not stable in biological matrices, and the rate of its degradation in murine plasma was faster than that in cell culture media. In vitro pharmacokinetic studies revealed that tyrphostin A9 concentrations in the cell culture media declined in a bi-exponential manner and the concentrations inside the adipocytes remained constant, suggesting tyrphostin A9 has an intracellular binding site and is retained within the cell. The LC-MS/MS method presented here paves the way for further quantitative investigations involving tyrphostin A9.
