Eco-Friendly UPLC-MS/MS Quantitation of Delafloxacin in Plasma and Its Application in a Pharmacokinetic Study in Rats

A novel UPLC-MS/MS assay was developed for rapid quantification of delafloxacin (a novel fluoroquinolone antibiotic in plasma samples by one step sample cleanup procedure. Delafloxacin (DFX) and internal standard (losartan) were separated on a UPLC BEH C<sub>18</sub> column (50 × 2.1 mm;...

description A novel UPLC-MS/MS assay was developed for rapid quantification of delafloxacin (a novel fluoroquinolone antibiotic in plasma samples by one step sample cleanup procedure. Delafloxacin (DFX) and internal standard (losartan) were separated on a UPLC BEH C<sub>18</sub> column (50 × 2.1 mm; 1.7 μm) by using gradient programing of a mobile phase containing 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid in water. The quantification was performed by a using triple-quadrupole mass detector at an electrospray ionization interface in positive mode. The precursor to the product ion transition of 441.1 → 379.1 for the qualifier and 441.1 → 423.1 for the quantifier was used for DFX monitoring, whereas 423.1 → 207.1 was used for the internal standard. The validation was performed as per guidelines of bioanalytical method validation, and the evaluated parameters were within the acceptable range. The greenness assessment of the method was evaluated by using AGREE software covering all 12 principles of green analytical chemistry. The final score obtained was 0.78, suggesting excellent greenness of the method. Moreover, Deming regression analysis showed an excellent linear relationship between this method and our previously reported method, and it is suitable for high-throughput analysis for routine application. The proposed method was effectively applied in a pharmacokinetic study of novel formulation (self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems) of DFX in rats.
