Abstract

A simple, sensitive and specific high-performance liquid chromatography method for the quantification of bisnaphthalimidopropyldiaminooctane (BNIPDaoct), a potent anti-Leishmania compound, incorporated into poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles was developed and validated toward bioanalysis application. Biological tissue extracts were injected into a reversed-phase monolithic column coupled to a fluorimetric detector (λexc = 234 nm, λem = 394 nm), using isocratic elution with aqueous buffer (acetic acid/acetate 0.10 M, pH 4.5, 0.010 M octanesulfonic acid) and acetonitrile, 60:40 (v/v) at a flow rate of 1.5 mL min-1. The run time was 6 min, with a BNIPDaoct retention time of 3.3 min. Calibration curves were linear for BNIPDaoct concentrations ranging from 0.002 to 0.100 μM. Matrix effects were observed and calibration curves were performed using the different organ (spleen, liver, kidney, heart and lung) extracts. The method was found to be specific, accurate (97.3-106.8% of nominal values) and precise for intra-day (RSD < 1.9%) and inter-day assays (RSD < 7.2%) in all matrices. Stability studies showed that BNIPDaoct was stable in all matrices after standing for 24 h at room temperature (20 °C) or in the autosampler, and after three freeze-thaw cycles. Mean recoveries of BNIPDaoct spiked in mice organs were > 88.4%. The LOD and LOQ for biological matrices were ≤0.8 and ≤1.8 nM, respectively, corresponding to values ≤4 and ≤9 nmol g-1 in mice organs. The method developed was successfully applied to biodistribution assessment following intravenous administration of BNIPDaoct in solution or incorporated in PLGA nanoparticles.
