A high performance liquid chromatographic‐mass spectrometric (LC/MS) assay was developed and validated for the determination of BMS‐204352 in dog K 3 EDTA plasma. A 0.5 mL aliquot of control plasma was spiked with BMS‐204352 and internal standard (IS) and buffered with 1 mL of 5 m M ammonium acetate. The mixture was then extracted with 3 mL of toluene. After separation and evaporation of the organic phase to dryness using nitrogen at 40°C, the residue was reconstituted in the mobile phase and 25 µL of the sample were injected onto a Hypersil C 18 column (2 × 50 mm; 3 µm) at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The mobile phase was consisted of two solvent mixtures (A and B). Solvent A was composed of 5 m M ammonium acetate and 0.1% triethylamine in 75:25 v/v water:methanol, pH adjusted to 5.5 with glacial acetic acid, and solvent B was 5 m M ammonium acetate in methanol. A linear gradient system was used to elute the analytes. The mass spectrometer was programmed to admit the de‐protonated molecules at m/z 352.7 (IS) and m/z 357.9 (BMS‐204352). Standard curves of BMS‐204352 were linear ( r 2 ≥ 0.998) over the concentration range of 0.5–1000 ng/mL. The mean predicted quality control (QC) concentrations deviated less than 5.1% from the corresponding nominal values (ie 4, 80, 400 and 2000 ng/mL); the within‐ and between‐assay precision of the assay were within 5.5% relative standard deviation. Stability of BMS‐204352 was confirmed after at least three freeze/thaw cycles and BMS‐204532 was stable in dog plasma when stored frozen at or below −20°C for at least 16 weeks in spiked QC samples and for at least 4 1/2 weeks for in vivo study samples. BMS‐204352 and IS were stable in the injection solvent at room temperature for at least 24 h. The assay was applied to delineate the pharmacokinetic disposition of BMS‐204352 in dogs following a single intravenous dose administration. In conclusion, the assay is accurate, precise, specific, sensitive and reproducible for the pharmacokinetic analysis of BMS‐204532 in dog plasma. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
