A rapid and sensitive bioanalytical LC-MS/MS method for the quantitation of a novel CDK5 inhibitor 20-223 (CP668863) in plasma: Application to in vitro metabolism and plasma protein-binding studies.

ABSTRACT: A rapid, selective, and sensitive liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the quantitation of the novel CDK5 inhibitor '20-223' in mouse plasma. Separation of analytes was achieved by a reverse-phase ACE Excel C₁₈ column (1.7 μm, 100 × 2.1 mm) with gradient elution using 0.1% formic acid (FA) in methanol and 0.1% FA as the mobile phase. Analytes were monitored by MS/MS with an electrospray ionization source in the positive multiple reaction monitoring mode. The MS/MS response was linear over the concentration range 0.2-500 ng/mL for 20-223. The within- and between-batch precision were within the acceptable limits as per Food and Drug Administration guidelines. The validated method was successfully applied to plas
