Sunitinib is an oral multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for treating metastatic renal cell carcinoma. This study reports a specific and sensitive competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the pharmacokinetic evaluation of sunitinib. Anti-sunitinib serum was obtained from mice by using N-(2-(diethylamino)ethyl)-5-formyl-2,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide (DFPC) as a hapten, which has the same substructure as sunitinib, in order to avoid the effects of structural changes in the geometrical isomers of sunitinib. Enzyme labeling of sunitinib with horseradish peroxidase was similarly performed using DFPC. Serum sunitinib concentrations below the limit of quantification of 0.52 ng/mL were reproducibly measurable. This ELISA was specic for sunitinib (Z- and E-isomers) and showed very low cross-reactivity (0.094%) with its major metabolite, N-desethyl sunitinib. Its analytical applicability was demonstrated by a kinetic study with human liver microsomes. In addition, the levels of sunitinib measured by ELISA in a kinetic study with human liver microsomes were comparable with those measured by HPLC, and there was a strong correlation between the values determined by both methods (y = 1.065x - 51.2, R 2  = 0.9804). The developed ELISA provides for the specific and sensitive quantification of sunitinib without the influence of its major metabolite or light-induced geometric isomers. This ELISA will be a valuable tool in pharmacokinetic studies of sunitinib.
