- The hepatobiliary transport and local disposition of rosuvastatin in pig was investigated, along with the impact of concomitant dosing with two known multiple transport inhibitors; cyclosporine and gemfibrozil. 80 mg rosuvastatin was administered as an intrajejunal bolus dose in Treatments I, II and III (TI, TII, and TIII, respectively; n=6 per treatment). Cyclosporine (300 mg) and gemfibrozil (600 mg) were administered in addition to the rosuvastatin dose in TII and TIII, respectively. Cyclosporine was administered as a two hour intravenous infusion and gemfibrozil as an intrajejunal bolus dose. In Treatment IV (TIV, n=4) was 5.9 mg rosuvastatin administered as an intravenous bolus dose. The study was conducted using a pig model, which enabled plasma sampling from the portal (VP), hepatic (VH) and femoral veins and bile from the common hepatic duct. The biliary recovery of the administered rosuvastatin dose was 9.0±3.5% and 35.7±15.6% in TI and TIV, respectively. Rosuvastatin was highly transported into bile as the median AUCbile/AUCVH ratio was 1770 (1640-11300) in TI. Gemfibrozil did not have an effect on the plasma pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin, most likely because the unbound inhibitor concentrations did not exceed the reported IC50-values. However, cyclosporine significantly reduced the hepatic extraction of rosuvastatin (TI; 0.89±0.06, TII; 0.46±0.13) and increased the AUCVP and AUCVH by 1.6 and 9.1-fold, respectively. In addition, the biliary exposure and fe, bile were reduced by ≈50%. The strong effect of cyclosporine was in accordance with inhibition of sinusoidal uptake transporters, such as members of the OATP-family, rather than canalicular transporters.

Chemical Derivatization in Combination with Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry for Detection and Structural Investigation of Glucuronides
- 2008

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis presents novel approaches for structural investigation of glucuronides using chemical derivatization in combination with liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MSn).Today, LC-ESI-MSn is the dominant technique for quantitative as well as qualitative analyses of metabolites, due to its high sensitivity and selectivity. However, for compounds without an easily ionizable group, e.g., steroids, the sensitivity is limited. In the work presented in this thesis, a derivatization procedure forming a basic oxime significantly increased the detection sensitivity for the altrenogest glucuronide. Furthermore, in structural evaluations of glucuronides, the limitation of LC-MSn becomes evident due to the initial neutral loss of 176 u, i.e. monodehydrated glucuronic acid, which often makes it impossible to elucidate the structures of the conjugates. To solve this problem, the main part of the work described in this thesis was devoted to chemical derivatization as a means of facilitating the determination of the site of conjugation. For the first time, the isomeric estriol glucuronides were evaluated using a combination of three reagents 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide (CMPI), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl- aminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC), and 2-picolylamine (PA). Interestingly, the derivatization gave a selective fragmentation pattern leading to differentiation of the isomers. Another derivatization reagent, 1,2-dimethylimidazole-4-sulfonyl chloride (DMISC), was also tested for the first time in structural investigations. The isomeric glucuronides of morphine, formoterol, and hydroxypropranolol were evaluated. They can all be conjugated in aliphatic as well as aromatic positions. DMISC was proven to be useful in two ways. Firstly, the morphine and formoterol glucuronides that contained a free phenol could be differentiated from those that were conjugated in the aromatic position based on different reactivity. Secondly, for the aromatic O-glucuronide of 4’-hydroxypropranolol, DMISC was proven to react with the amine. This product gave a different fragmentation pattern compared to the corresponding derivative of the aliphatic glucuronide.
