Abstract: | A LC‐MS/MS method for the determination of a hydrophilic paclitaxel derivative 7‐xylosyl‐10‐deacetylpaclitaxel in rat plasma was developed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of 7‐xylosyl‐10‐deacetylpaclitaxel in the rats. 7‐Xylosyl‐10‐deacetylpaclitaxel and docetaxel (IS for 7‐xylosyl‐10‐deacetylpaclitaxel) were extracted from rat plasma with acetic ether and analyzed on a Hypersil C18 column (4.6 × 150 mm i.d., particle size 5 µm) with the mobile phase of ACN/0.05% formic acid (50:50, v/v). The analytes were detected using an ESI MS/MS in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. The standard curves for 7‐xylosyl‐10‐deacetylpaclitaxel in plasma were linear (r >0.999) over the concentration range of 2.0–1000 ng/mL with a weighting of 1/concentration2. The method showed a satisfactory sensitivity (2.0 ng/mL using 50 µL plasma), precision (CV ≤ 10.1%), accuracy (relative error ?12.4 to 12.0%), and selectivity. This method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of 7‐xylosyl‐10‐deacetylpaclitaxel in rat plasma after intravenous administration of 7‐xylosyl‐10‐deacetylpaclitaxel to female Wistar rats.
