 About developpement of bioanalytical methods LIQ /IS [Bioanalytics]

hello sir helmutz, being a novice in bioanalytical development, i would like to know how to calculate my LIQ frome un infernal Cmax, without taking into account the formula of 5%, is there any other mathematic relation between Cmax as pk parrameter and LIQ as analytical parrameter.

2/ i would like to know how can i calculate the internal standard concentration used in validation from an ULOQ ?

3/IAM working acctually on hplc and lc ms ms dosage methode of amoxicilline in human plasma, iam juste in begining and i need some of your precious recommandations if it is possible ?

N//B excuse me for my english iam doing my best because i usually communicate in frech.

Think you
Helmut

 LLOQ ≤5% Cmax

Bonjour chimiste!

❝ hello sir helmutz,


Not interested in opinions of other members of the forum?

❝ […] i would like to know how to calculate my LIQ frome un infernal Cmax, without taking into account the formula of 5%, is there any other mathematic relation between Cmax as pk parrameter and LIQ as analytical parrameter.


You should be able to quantify 5% (or lower) of Cmax in order to demonstrate that there are no residual concentrations of previous administrations in periods >1. In a crossover study you have to avoid carry-over which requires a sufficiently long washout.
It is the job of the pharmacokineticist (not yours) to design the study. Hint: Never plan with the average half-life from the literature. Always assume longer ones (see this presentation, slides 65/66).
The bioanalytical method should be reliable and reproducible for the intended use. Sometimes people forget the last part and reach too far. It’s not necessary to come up with a “perfect” method – it must only be fit for purpose. Goalposts:
  • ULOQ
    • Highest expected Cmax in any subject.
    • Validate also dilution with blank matrix or analysis of an aliquot in case you find concentrations >ULOQ.
  • LLOQ
    • AUC0–t/AUC0–∞ ≥80%.
    • ≤5% (individual!) Cmax.
  • (In)accuracy/(im)precision ≤20% at the LLOQ and ≤15% above.

Not sure what you mean. Can you reword/explain?

Some hints from the method we used in my CRO (250 ng/mL – 31 µg/mL):
  • Blood sampling / stability
    • Anticoagulant EDTA(K3), Na-, or Li-heparin.
    • No stabilization necessary.
    • Centrifuge within 15 minutes after sampling or
      put in an ice bath and centrifuge within one hour.
  • Long-term storage
    • At -20 ℃ stable for two months.
    • At -20 ℃ degradation ~25% after nine months.
    • At -70 ℃ stable for nine months.
  • Stability of plasma at room temperature
    • Stable for four hours.
    • 6% degradation after 24 hours.
  • Stable in three freeze/thaw-cycles.
  • Stability of extracts (in our SFE-method 50% CH3OH)
    • At room temperature for 48 hours.
    • At -20 ℃ for at least one week.
  • Aqueous stock solution (1 mg/mL) at -70 ℃ stable for at least three months.
Good luck in developing/validating your method!

No problem. Few native speakers here. [image] translate is not that bad. ;-)

 LLOQ ≤5% Cmax

Think you for your explanations, for the first question i meant that actually i calculate my LIQ basing on formula of 5% of lower Cmax observed in bibliography i try to go lower than that on my HPLC to cover residual concentrations if observed later, we haven't yet a pharmacologue in our CRO (we are just team of scientists working on amoxicilline bioéquivalence), we have been taught that there is a formul to calculate LIQ from AUC ?

2/My question about concentration of internal standard: actually i use cefadroxil as described in articles as IS most recomended, in articles they describe different concentrations, i nedd to know how can we fix exactly this concentration , is it in relation with analyte concentration wich is amoxicilline at ULOQ or i have to test different concentrations of IS then analyte/IS later confused: ?



i hope receiving responses frome other member of forum, i dont know HOW !

Hi Developper bioanalyste,

❝ […] for the first question i meant that actually i calculate my LIQ basing on formula of 5% of lower Cmax observed in bibliography i try to go lower than that on my HPLC to cover residual concentrations if observed later, …


Good.

❝ … we haven't yet a pharmacologue in our CRO (we are just team of scientists working on amoxicilline bioéquivalence), …


Why not – I’m a chemist by training as well and just an interested amateur of pharmacokinetics and biostatistics. Make yourself familiar with the basics of PK. It’s fun. :-D
Examples of my studies: Sampling for eight hours, washout one week, LLOQ 250 ng/mL, no pre­dose concentrations >LLOQ in any of the 94 profiles.
  1. 875 mg (+125 mg clavulanic acid), 16 subjects
    Cmax 12.4 µg/mL (8.27–20.7 µg/mL)
    t½ 55 min (38–90 min)
    Extrapolated AUC 1.43% (0.70–3.05%)
  2. 500 mg (+125 mg clavulanic acid), 15 subjects
    Cmax 8.82 µg/mL (4.21–14.3 µg/mL)
    t½ 55 min (42–75 min)
    Extrapolated AUC 1.88% (1.05–4.11%)
  3. 400 mg (+57 mg clavulanic acid), 16 subjects
    Cmax 8.61 µg/mL (4.36–11.7 µg/mL)
    t½ 59 min (43–86 min)
    Extrapolated AUC 2.52% (1.31–4.65%)
Even taking the slowest half-life observed in any subject of 90 minutes into account a washout of one day is sufficient (i.e., ours was much too long). Sampling for more than eight hours is futile.

❝ … we have been taught that there is a formul to calculate LIQ from AUC ?


I would be very interested in such a formula! Who ever told you this was wrong.

❝ 2/My question about concentration of internal standard: actually i use cefadroxil as described in articles as IS most recomended, …


In your first post you wrote

❝ … hplc and lc ms …


If you are using HPLC you could also try ampicillin. We used post-column derivatization with fluorescamin and FL-detection at 395/485 nm. Fluram is not cheap but extremely stable (-0.005% in CH3CN for at least nine years). I would not recommend off-line derivatization: Labor-intensive, higher percentage of CH3OH/CH3CN in the mobile phase, faster run-times but worse separation. If you want to go that way consider keeping a low percentage of organic modifier but move from C18 to C8 (or even C2).
If you are using LC/MS I strongly recommend a stable-isotope amoxicillin internal standard. Otherwise you may be punished by matrix effects.

❝ … in articles they describe different concentrations, i nedd to know how can we fix exactly this concentration, is it in relation with analyte concentration wich is amoxicilline at ULOQ or i have to test different concentrations of IS then analyte/IS later confused: ?


Wait a minute. The calibration range (LLOQ–ULOQ) is based on the expected concentrations depending on the administered dose. It doesn’t make sense to use a ULOQ which is too high for a study of a low dose. In the worst case your high QC-sample is above any concentration measured in the study. Not a good idea and a deficiency letter approaching.
When it comes to the concentration of the IS: ~150% of the ULOQ of the analyte is used by many.
