Validation of a Low-Volume Plasma LC-MS/MS Method Using a Capillary…

In recent years there has been much discussion related to the use of fewer animals for pre-clinical safety and efficacy testing. In addition, regulatory agencies have requested testing in pediatric patient populations for all new drug compounds. With the development of more sensitive instrumentation, the need for smaller blood sample size analysis, has been realized. Over the years, techniques such as Dried Blood Spot (DBS) have been utilized to sample less than 50 uL of blood. While DBS seems to work well for many analyses, the historical PK database for most clinical trials has been through the quantitation of drugs from plasma or serum.

Pregabalin, (S)-3-(aminomethyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid, is an analogue of the neurotransmitter gamma amino butyric acid (GABA). It is used for the treatment of peripheral and central neuropathic pain in adults and as an adjunctive therapy for refractory partial seizures. Pregabalin binds potently to the α2δ (alpha2delta) subunit of the voltage-dependent calcium channel in the central nervous system and its binding at this site reduces calcium influx at the nerve terminal, leading to the release of several neurotransmitters, such as glutamate and noradrenalin. The aim of this study is to develop a sensitive, specific, robust and rapid LC-MS/MS method: Use simple extraction procedure; With no interference from matrix; With short run time.
