Popis: Brivaracetam (BRV) is a new high affinity synaptic vesicle protein 2A ligand recently approved for adults with partial-onset seizures. As a support to in vitro metabolism assays, a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method coupled to off-line solid phase extraction (SPE) was developed to quantify BRV acid metabolites, that is, BRV-AC (carboxylic derivative derived from BRV hydrolysis) and BRV-OHAC (corresponding to hydroxylated BRV-AC). The method was validated for various incubates (liver and kidney tissue homogenates and blood, all from humans) and applied to in vitro metabolism assays. The analytes were isolated from buffered samples using ISOLUTE C8 96-well SPE plates. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Waters Atlantis T3 C18 analytical column (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 5 μm) with detection accomplished using a Waters Premier tandem mass spectrometer in positive ion electrospray and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The standard curves, which ranged from 1.00 to 200 ng/mL for BRV-AC, BRV-OHAC, were fitted to a 1/x2 weighted linear regression model. The intra-assay precision and inter-assay precision (expressed as coefficient of variation -%CV) were
