A sensitive and selective liquid chromatographic method to quantitate MDL 201,012 in human plasma was developed and validated. MDL 201,012 (I), diethyl-MDL 201,012 (internal standard, II) and desmethyldiol-MDL 201,012 (masking agent, III) were isolated from basified plasma (2 mL) by solid phase extraction using Bond-Elut® C-18 cartridges. Endogenous components were selectively removed prior to eluting the analytes from the sorbent. Components were separated using on-line LC column switching with a cyanopropyl precolumn and a phenyl analytical column. The analytical column effluent was monitored electrochemically at a glassy carbon electrode at a potential of + 1025 mV vs. Ag/AgCI. Peak-height ratios were proportional to the amount of MDL 201,012 added to plasma over the range 125-7500 pg/mL MDL 201,012. Absolute recovery of MDL 201,012 from human plasma was 〉94% across the calibration range. The minimum quantitation limit was 125 pg/mL. Assay precision (%RSD) ranged from 5.2 to 13% based on the analysis of quality control standards containing 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000 and 7500 pg/mL MDL 201,012. Corresponding assay accuracy (% relative error) was ±8.5%. The method has been successfully used to quantitate MDL 201,012 in samples from acute dose tolerance studies in human volunteers.
