Summary: | A sensitive and automated method for the determination of a new avermectin analog (MK-324) in dog plasma has been developed and validated. The drug and internal standard were extracted from plasma via solid-phase extraction using an automated Gilson ASPEC XL system. The extracts were evaporated to dryness and reconstituted in a mixture of N,N-diethylmethylamine and acetonitrile. Automated pre-column derivatization of the reconstituted extracts using trifluoroacetic anhydride was performed prior to injection onto the HPLC system. The fluorescent derivatives of the drug and internal standard were chromatographed using a Zorbax RX-C18 column and a mobile phase composed of acetonitrile, water and tetrahydrofuran [6:1:1 (v/v/v)]. The assay was validated in the concentration range of 100 - 5,000 pg/mL. Its applicability, inter-day performance and specificity were demonstrated by analyzing plasma samples from six studies with MK-324. |
