LC‐MS/MS determination of cinacalcet enantiomers in rat plasma on Chirobiotic V column in polar ionic mode: application to a pharmacokinetic study

Abstract

A simple and selective polar ionic liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric method for separation and determination of cinacalcet enantiomers in rat plasma was developed and validated. The chromatographic separation was accomplished on a Chirobiotic V column packed with vancomycin as a chiral stationary phase using 2.5 mm ammonium formate in 100% methanol as a mobile phase in an isocratic mode of elution at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The analytes were extracted from rat plasma by precipitating the proteins with acetonitrile. The developed method exhibited a linear dynamic range over 0.5-500 ng/mL in rat plasma for both enantiomers. The method was successfully applied to study the pharmacokinetics after a single dose by oral administration of 10 mg/kg of cinacalcet enantiomers to healthy male Wistar rats.

Determination of Trantinterol Enantiomers in Human Plasma by High‐Performance Liquid Chromatography – Tandem Mass Spectrometry Using Vancomycin Chiral Stationary Phase and Solid Phase Extraction and Stereoselective Pharmacokinetic Application

“…Vancomycin chiral stationary phase has been widely used for enantiomeric separation in bioanalysis . The mobile phase in polar ionic mode is compatible with MS because of its high volatility and beneficial ionization effect.…”
