Plasma Stability Assessment of Compounds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Compound stocks were prepared at a concentration of 10 mM in DMSO. The internal standard was 4 μg/mL warfarin in acetonitrile. Compound stocks were mixed with mouse plasma (Fisher Scientific) or pooled human plasma (Innovative Research Inc) to prepare a final concentration of 10 μM in a 2 mL 96- well deep well plate (pION Inc., Woburn, MA, catalog #110023); this was the master plate. From the master plate, 70 μL was taken from each well and added into four storage plates (pION Inc., Woburn, MA, catalog #110323) in triplicate, each for a different time point. The storage plates were then incubated at 37 °C and shaken at 100 rpm. Samples were taken at 0 min, 3h, 24 h, and 48h. At each time point, 210 μL of internal standard was added to quench the reaction. The plates were then centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 20 min, and supernatant was analyzed by Ultra High Pressure Liquid Chromatography with Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS; Waters Inc., Milford, MA). The compound was detected by selected ion recording (SIR), and quantitation was based on the peak area ratio of the test compound vs. the internal standard.

In vitro stability of o(LA)8-PTX prodrug and o(LA)8-PTX-PM (10 or 50%) in plasma were determined using heparinized Sprague-Dawley rat plasma (Innovative Research Inc., Novi, MI) and pooled human plasma (Innovative Research Inc., Novi, MI). Frozen plasma samples were incubated at 37 °C for 5 min before use. Stock solution of o(LA)8-PTX was prepared in DMSO at 1 mM. In 1.0 mL plasma samples, 10 μL of stock solution was added to reach a concentration of o(LA)8-PTX at 10 μM (< 1% DMSO in the mixture). Alternatively, 100 μL of o(LA)8-PTX-PM (10%) or o(LA)8-PTX-PM (50%) in PBS solution (10 mM, pH 7.4) was added to plasma (900 μL) to reach a final concentration of 10 μM. Samples were incubated at 37 °C in a temperature adjusted water bath (GCA Corporation, IL). At predetermined time intervals (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 24 h), 50 μL of plasma samples were withdrawn and diluted with 100 μL of acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid. Precipitated samples were centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 10 min and the supernatant containing solubilized o(LA)8-PTX and its metabolites (o(LA)0–8-PTX) were analyzed by RP-HPLC. The relative amount of o(LA)8-PTX and its metabolites (o(LA)0–8-PTX) was calculated as a percentage relative to the starting level of o(LA)8-PTX.

Metabolite Extraction from Pooled Plasma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pooled human plasma was obtained from Innovative Research (Novi, MI). The frozen sample was thawed for 1 h on ice, vortexed briefly and separated into aliquots of 100 μL. Metabolite extraction was initiated by addition of 400 μL of methanol/acetone/acetonitrile (1:1:1 v/v/v). After 1 min of vortexing, the samples were incubated at 4 °C for 30 min. The samples were centrifuged at 14,000 rpm at 4 °C and the supernatant including the lipid layer was collected, transferred to microtubes and dried under N2. The metabolites were reconstituted in 50 μL ACN/H2O (80:20 v/v), vortexed briefly and transferred to autosampler vials. Spiked plasma extracts for the estimation of detection limits were prepared by adding 1, 2 or 5 μL of standard mixtures containing known concentrations (millimolar range) of metabolites to plasma extract before drying. 60 metabolites were selected based on their known or expected presence in blood according to data from the human metabolome database (21 (link)) (http://hmdb.ca, accessed November 2015) and each mixture contained 10 different, non-isobaric compounds.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
