Abstrakt: LQFM018 is a novel antineoplastic prototype, showing an expressive drug-triggered K562 leukemic cells death mechanism, through necroptotic signaling. Due to its promising effect, this study aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of LQFM018 in rats, using a new validated bioanalytical LC-MS/MS-based method. Chromatographic column was an ACE® C18 (100 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) eluted by a mobile phase composed of ammonium acetate 2 mM and formic acid 0.025%:methanol (50:50, v/v), under flow of 1.2 mL/min and injection volume of 3.0 µL. LQFM018 was extracted from rat plasma by a simple liquid-liquid method, using MTBE solvent. Rats were administered intraperitoneally at LQFM018 100 mg/kg dose and blood samples were collect at times of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 h. Bioanalytical-LC-MS/MS-based method was rapid, high throughput and sensitive with a good linearity ranging from 10 (LLOQ) to 15000 ng/mL, besides precise and accurate, ranging of 0.8-7.3% and 96.8-107.6%, respectively. The prototype LQFM018 was rapid and well absorbed, and highly distributed, apparently due to its high lipid solubility. These features are primordial for an anticancer agent in the treatment of deep tumors, such as bone marrow neoplasms, in which the drug might permeate easily tissue barriers. Also, LQFM018 has demonstrated a high clearance, according to a low t 1/2 in rats, indicating a relative fast elimination phase related to a possible intense hepatic biotransformation. These information support further studies to establish new understands on pharmacokinetics of promising antineoplastic prototype LQFM018 from preclinical and clinical evaluations.
