In this study, a simple and reliable liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometric method was first developed for the determination of capivasertib in dog plasma with ipatasertib as internal standard. The plasma samples were deproteinated using acetonitrile. An Acquity BEH C 18 column (1.7 μm, 2.1 × 50 mm) maintained at 40°C was used for chromatographical separation, with water containing 0.1% formic acid and acetonitrile as mobile phase. Multiple reaction monitoring transitions were m/z 429.2 > 135.1 for capivasertib and m/z 458.2 > 387.2 for ipatasertib, respectively. Excellent linearity was achieved in the concentration range of 1–1,000 ng/ml with a correlation coefficient of >0.9981. The lower limit of quantification was 1 ng/ml. The extraction recovery of capivasertib from dog plasma was >85.81% and no significant matrix effect was found. The intra‐ and inter‐day precision was <9.58% and the accuracy ranged from −10.60% to 12.50%. The validated method was further applied to the pharmacokinetic study of capivasertib in dog plasma after single oral (5 mg/kg) and intravenous (1 mg/kg) administrations. The results revealed that capivasertib was rapidly absorbed into plasma with good bioavailability (47.04%) and low clearance.
