Simultaneous determination of mycophenolic acid and its glucuronides in human plasma using isocratic ion pair high-performance liquid chromatography.

Abstract：

:Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of mycophenolic acid (MPA) following administration of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) or the enteric-coated sodium salt of MPA formulations, seems beneficial because of the large intra- and inter-individual variability in MPA pharmacokinetics. MPA is an active component from these oral formulations and are further metabolised to inactive phenolic glucuronide (MPAG) and active acyl glucuronide (AcMPAG). This study aims to determine simultaneously these three metabolites of MMF using isocratic ion pair HPLC and to evaluate the short-term stability of AcMPAG in human plasma. Samples were prepared using solid phase extraction. Chromatographic separation was achieved over an RP column (TSKgel ODS-80Ts, 150 mm x 4.6 mm i.d., 5 microm particle size) with acetonitrile and 30 mM tetra-n-butylammonium bromide containing 5 mM ammonium acetate at pH 9.0 (33/67, v/v) as the mobile phase. The flow rate of the mobile phase was 1ml/min, and the wavelength of determination by UV detection was 250 nm (run time, 16 min). Calibration curves for MPA, MPAG and AcMPAG in human plasma were linear over a concentration range of 0.05-50, 0.1-400 and 0.08-8 microg/ml, respectively. Intra- and inter-assay R.S.D. were<6.5%. Extraction efficiencies were more than 85% for all analytes. Since AcMPAG was unstable in human plasma, plasma acidification was needed for the quantification of AcMPAG. Large interindividual variability was observed in the AcMPAG pharmacokinetics in the early period after renal transplantation. In conclusion, a simple, accurate and reproducible HPLC method to measure simultaneously these three MMF metabolites has been established. The method will be helpful in evaluating pharmacokinetics of MPA and its glucuronides.
