Abstract
Oxaliplatin (OXP), a third-generation platinum-based chemotherapy drug, was often indirectly analyzed via total platinum by an ICP-MS because it was difficult to directly quantify using an LC-MS/MS method, due to its instability, bad column separability and severe MS signal inhibition. Here, we developed and validated a specific, sensitive and reproducible LC-MS/MS method for the quantification of OXP itself in rat plasma and tongue tissue on a SCIEX 4000 QTRAP® MS/MS system equipped with a Phenomenex Lux 5u Cellulose-1 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm). This method was validated at the lower limit of detection (LOD) and the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of 5 ng/mL and 10 ng/mL, with linearity of 10–5000 ng/mL (r2 > 0.99) and 10–2500 ng/mL (r2 > 0.99), in rat plasma and tongue homogenates, respectively. The intra- and inter-day precision (CV%) and accuracy (RE%) were within 15% for LLOQ, low-, medium- and high-quality control samples. The mean extraction recoveries were around 50% and 80% for plasma and tongue homogenates, respectively. This assay was successfully applied to pharmacokinetics study following intravenous administration of OXP, as well as tongue tissue distribution after 1 h and 4 h of a novel oral mucosal patch application.
