Objective To establish an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS)method for the determination of imatinib in human plasma, and to evaluate the relative bioavailability and bioequivalence of imatinib mesylate tablets in post-prandial conditions in Chinese healthy volunteers. Methods Twenty four healthy volunteers were randomly divided into two groups. Each group received a single oral dose of 400 mg imatinib mesylate tablet as a test or reference drug in post-prandial conditions. UPLC-MS/MS was used to determine the concentration of imatinib in plasma. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by the WinNonlin 6.4 statistical software, and the bioequivalence of the two preparations was evaluated by the SAS 9.2 software. Results After oral administration of test or reference preparation, imatinib in plasma reached peak concentration(2 308.3±873.59)and(2 119.6±597.20)ng·mL-1 at 3.47(1.98-5.98)h and 2.97(1.98-6.00)h, respectively. AUC0-t were(39 724.7±18 670.30)and(35 294.4±7 991.97)h·ng·mL-1; AUC0-inf were(40 111.0±19 014.95)and(35 595.0±8 048.28)h·ng·mL-1. The 90% confidence intervals of Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-inf for two preparations after a logarithmic transformation were 95.52%-119.59%, 97.07%-119.35%, and 97.10%-119.39%, respectively, which were all within the limits of 80.00%-125.00%. Conclusion It could therefore be concluded that the test preparation of imatinib mesylate tablets was bioequivalent to that of Gleevec tablets(reference).

STI571 (formerly known as CGP 57148B) is a protein-tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is currently in clinical trials for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia. STI571 selectively inhibits the Abl and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor tyrosine kinases in vitro and blocks cellular proliferation and tumor growth of Bcr-abl- or v-abl-expressing cells. We have further investigated the profile of STI571 against related receptor tyrosine kinases. STI571 was found to potently inhibit the kinase activity of the alpha- and beta-PDGF receptors and the receptor for stem cell factor, but not the closely related c-Fms, Flt-3, Kdr, Flt-1, and Tek tyrosine kinases. Additionally, no inhibition of c-Met or nonreceptor tyrosine kinases such as Src and Jak-2 has been observed. In cell-based assays, STI571 selectively inhibited PDGF and stem cell factor-mediated cellular signaling, including ligand-stimulated receptor autophosphorylation, inositol phosphate formation, and mitogen-activated protein kinase activation and proliferation. These results expand the profile of STI571 and suggest that in addition to chronic myelogenous leukemia, STI571 may have clinical potential in the treatment of diseases that involve abnormal activation of c-Kit or PDGF receptor tyrosine kinases.

Imatinib is a first-line treatment for chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML). The pharmacokinetics of imatinib in patients with CML are characterised by large interpatient variability. Concentration monitoring of imatinib and its active metabolite N-desmethyl imatinib (DMI) is considered necessary to enhance the safe and effective use of imatinib. A rapid, simple and sensitive liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry assay was developed for the simultaneous determination of imatinib and its metabolite DMI in human plasma. After proteins were precipitated with acetonitrile, imatinib, DMI and the internal standard D8-imatinib were resolved on a Gemini-NX 3 μm C18 column using gradient elution of 0.05 % formic acid and methanol. The three compounds were detected using electrospray ionisation in the positive mode. Standard curves of imatinib and DMI were adequately fitted by quadratic equations (r > 0.999) over the concentration range of 10 to 2,000 ng/mL which encompasses clinical concentrations. Bias was ≤±8.3 %, intra- and inter-day coefficients of variation (imprecision) were ≤8.0 % and the limit of quantification was 10 ng/mL for both imatinib and DMI. The assay is being used successfully in clinical practice to enhance the safe and effective use of imatinib.

Scutellaria planipes, a species of Scutellaria, was explored by comparing to Scutellaria baicalensis, a pharmacopoeia species. Four principle flavonoids in both the plant roots were analyzed by using a reversed-phase chromatographic system with a chemically bonded ODS silica gel column and phosphate buffer:methanol (68:32 and 1:1) as mobile phase. Their contents were similar in both plant roots. Antiallergic and antibacterial activities in vitro and acute toxicity were compared. The results provided valuable data for S. planipes as a potential medicinal resource.

A new liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method, performed by electrospray ionization in positive mode using a triple quadrupole mass spectrometry, has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of bortezomib (BORT), dasatinib (DASA), imatinib (IMAT), nilotinib (NILO), erlotinib (ERLO), lapatinib (LAPA), sorafenib (SORA), sunitinib (SUNI) and vandetanib (VAND) in human plasma. Separation is achieved on an Hypersil Gold(®) PFP column using a gradient elution of 10mM ammonium formate containing 0.1% formic acid (A) and acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid (B) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. After addition of the internal standard and protein precipitation, the supernatant is diluted 2-fold in a mixture A and B (50/50, v/v). Two selected reaction monitoring transitions are used for each analyte: one is used for quantitation, the second one is used for confirmation. The standard curves are ranged from 2 ng/mL to 250 ng/mL for BORT, DASA and SUNI and from 50 ng/mL to 3500 ng/mL for the others and were fitted to a 1/x weighted linear regression model. The lowest limits of quantification were 2 ng/mL for BORT, DASA and SUNI and 50 ng/mL for the other TKIs. The method also showed satisfactory results in terms of sensitivity, specificity, precision (intra- and inter-day RSD from 3.7% to 13.8%), accuracy (from 86.8% to 113.5%), recovery as well as stability of the analytes under various conditions. The method also may contribute to better understand the relationship between pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of TKIs in hematological malignancies and solid tumors.

Imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib are tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) used as first-line treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia. Therapeutic drug monitoring is important to achieve treatment efficacy in the case of imatinib and nilotinib, and to control toxicity in the case of dasatinib. New high-sensitivity methods to monitor those drugs are needed, especially for dasatinib. Thus, a simple method to determine plasma levels of imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib for application in clinical practice was developed.

The aim of the study was to investigate the bioavailability of a generic product of 100 mg and 400 mg imatinib film-coated tablets (test) as compared to that of a branded product (reference) at the same strength to determine bioequivalence. The secondary objective of the study was to evaluate tolerability of both products. An open-label, randomized, crossover, two-period, single-dose, comparative study was conducted in 43 (Imatynib-Biofarm 100 mg film-coated tablet) and in 42 (Imatynib-Biofarm 400 mg film-coated tablet), brand name Imatenil, Caucasian healthy volunteers in fed conditions. A single oral dose administration of the test or reference product was separated by 14-day washout period. The imatinib and its metabolite N-desmethyl imatinib concentrations were determined using a validated LC MS/MS method. The results of the single-dose study in healthy volunteers indicated that the film-coated tablets of Imatynib-Biofarm 100 mg and 400 mg film-coated tablets manufactured by Biofarm Sp. z o.o. (test products) are bioequivalent to those of Glivec 100 mg and 400 mg film-coated tablets manufactured by Novartis Pharma GmbH (reference products). Both products in the two doses of imatinib were well tolerated.

Background: Imatinib mesylate is used to treat chronic myeloid leukemia and advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the pharmacokinetics of 2 different strengths of the imatinib formulation containing 100 mg (reference) and 400 mg (test) to satisfy the regulatory requirement for marketing. Methods: A single-center, randomized, single-dose, open-label, 2-period, 2-sequence, comparative cross-over study with a 14-day washout period was conducted in 30 healthy male volunteers. Plasma samples for the drug analysis were collected up to 72 hours after drug treatment. Participants received either the reference (4 tablets of 100-mg imatinib) or the test (1 tablet of 400-mg imatinib) formulation during the first period and the alternative formulation during the second period. The safety profiles and tolerability of the 2 formulations were also assessed based on physical examinations, laboratory tests, a 12-lead ECG, and vital signs. Results: Thirty participants were initially enrolled; their mean (SD) age, height, weight, and body mass index were 24.9 (2.0) years (range, 23-30 years), 174 (5) cm (range, 164-185 cm), 69.9 (2.0) kg (range, 54.1-87.4 kg), and 23.0 (2.0) kg/m(2) (range, 18.5-26.9 kg/m(2)); 28 healthy participants completed both treatment periods. Two subjects did not complete the study because they withdrew consent for personal reasons. The observed mean (SD) C-max, AUC(0-last), and AUC(0-infinity). values for the reference formulation were 1792 (357) ng/mL, 28,485 (6274) ng . h/mL, and 29,079 (6371) ng . h/mL, respectively. Corresponding values for the test formulation were 1710 (312) ng/mL, 27,222 (4624) ng . h/mL, and 27,872 (4751) ng . h/mL. The geometric mean ratios (90% CIs) between the 2 formulations at the 400-mg dose of imatinib were 0.9579 (0.9054-1.0136) for C-max, 0.9652 (0.9174-1.0155) for AUC(0-last) and 0.9679 (0.9203-1.0179) for AUC(0-infinity), respectively. During the study period, 6 adverse events (3 for the reference and 3 for the test formulation) were reported; all were transient, mild, and resolved completely during the treatment period. There were 4 cases of nausea and 1 case each of dizziness and oropharyngeal pain. Four adverse events were considered related to the study drugs. Conclusions: The results showed that despite the different strengths of the 2 imatinib formations, the test and reference formulations both met the regulatory criteria for pharmacokinetic equivalence at a dose of imatinib 400 mg in these healthy Korean male subjects. Both imatinib formulations seemed to be generally well tolerated. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01270984. (C) 2013 Elsevier HS Journals, Inc.

Abstract
Background: Imatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has been established as a highly effective therapy for chronic myelogenous leukemia and gastrointestinal stromal tumors. A new generic, once-daily 400-mg tablet of imatinib has been developed by a pharmaceutical company in Argentina, where the regulatory standard for marketing authorization of an imatinib generic is in vitro dissolution testing.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the bioequivalence of a new generic film-coated test tablet formulation versus a film-coated reference tablet formulation of imatinib 400 mg. The local manufacturer seeks to validate the in vitro performance of this new formulation with a bioequivalence study.
Methods: A randomized, open-label, single-dose, fasting, 2-period, 2-sequence crossover design with a 2-week washout period was used in this study. The study population consisted of healthy male South American (Uruguayan) volunteers, who were assigned in a 1:1 ratio to a randomized sequence (test-reference or reference-test). In each period, the test or reference formulation was administered after an overnight fast. During the 72-hour follow-up period, participants were monitored for vital signs and symptoms. Blood samples were collected at 15 time points, including baseline, until 72 hours. Physical examination and laboratory tests (blood, urine) were repeated 1 week after study completion. A noncompartmental model was used to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of imatinib. The 90% CIs of the test/reference ratios for AUC0-∞ and Cmax were determined; the test and reference formulations were considered bioequivalent if the 90% CIs were between 0.80 and 1.25. Adverse events were assessed by a nurse who administered a questionnaire while the healthy volunteers were admitted in the unit.
Results: The bioequivalence study was conducted in 30 Uruguayan male volunteers. Demographic characteristics (mean [SD]) included age, 27.8 (6.5) years; weight, 71.2 (9.8) kg; height, 1.71 (0.09) m; and body mass index, 24.3 (3.0) kg/m2. The mean (SD) of AUC0-∞ was 38,179 (15,504) ng/mL · h−1 for the test formulation and 40,554 (17,027) ng/mL · h−1 for the reference formulation. The mean of Cmax for the test formulation was 2472 (933) ng/mL, and the mean Tmax was 3.28 (0.93) hours. The mean of Cmax for the reference formulation was 2566 (963) ng/mL, and the mean Tmax was 3.63 (1.20) hours. The point estimates (90% CIs) for the test/reference ratios of the log-transformed AUC- and Cmax mean values were 0.95 (0.87–1.03) and 0.97 (0.89–1.05), respectively, which met the regulatory criteria for bioequiv-alence. Thirty-four mild to moderate adverse events were reported (13 with the test formulation and 21 with the reference formulation), and no serious or unexpected adverse events were observed during the study. The adverse events included 16 cases of headache, 13 cases of nausea, 4 cases of vomiting, and 1 episode of diarrhea.
Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that the test formulation of imatinib met the regulatory criteria for bioequivalence to the reference formulation in these healthy fasting male volunteers. Both formulations were generally well tolerated and appeared to have a similar adverse-event profile.
