Abstract

Miconazole has one chiral center, and consists of two enantiomers. In this study, a novel chiral liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed for enantioselective separation and determination of miconazole in rat plasma. For the first time, the enantioselective pharmacokinetics of miconazole was investigated by the current method. Firstly, attempts were made to separate the enantiomers in reversed-phase mode with a mobile phase that was mass spectrometry compatible. Baseline separation was achieved on a Chiralpak IC column with a mobile phase composed of acetonitrile and aqueous ammonium hydrogen carbonate (5 mM; 80:20, v/v). Data were acquired in multiple reaction monitoring mode with positive electrospray ionization by triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry. Then, overall method validation regarding the linearity, accuracy, precision, extraction recovery, matrix effect, and stability of each enantiomer was performed, and acceptable results were obtained for all of these. Finally, the method developed was applied in an enantioselective pharmacokinetic study of miconazole enantiomers in rats after oral administration of racemic miconazole at doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg. The results demonstrated that (-)-(R)-miconazole had a higher concentration than (+)-(S)-miconazole in plasma, with a ratio of 1.3-1.7 for both doses. This is the first experimental evidence of enantioselective behavior of miconazole in vivo, and provides a reference for clinical practice and encourages further research into miconazole enantioselective metabolism and drug interactions. Graphical Abstract A stereoselective pharmacokinetic study of the miconazole enantiomers was investigated using a novel chiral liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. Baseline separation was achieved on Chiralpak IC column, and Chiralcel OJ column was used to collect single enantiomer. A significant difference between the two enantiomers was observed in view of the plasma concentration.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 October 2017.
All research outputs
#15,989,045
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Analytical & Bioanalytical Chemistry
#4,917
of 9,619 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#182,822
of 323,804 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Analytical & Bioanalytical Chemistry
#47
of 172 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 9,619 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.1. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 323,804 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 172 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
