A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed to measure levels of d-threo-1-phenyl-2-palmitoylamino-3-morpholino-1-propanol (d-threo-PPMP) in mouse plasma and liver. d-threo-PPMP was measured by HPLC with a Luna Pheny-Hexyl column (5 microm, 250 mm x 4.6 mm) employing UV detection at 210 nm using a mobile phase of potassium phosphate buffer (20mM, pH 3.0)-acetonitrile in a 45:55 (v/v) ratio. d-threo-1-phenyl-2-pentadecanoylamino-3-morpholino-1-propanol (PC15MP) was employed as an internal standard (IS). The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was 0.3 microg/ml. The assay was linear over a concentration range of 0.3-10 microg/ml, with acceptable precision and accuracy. Assayed in plasma, the intra- and inter-day validation for all coefficients of variation (R.S.D.%) were found less than 15%. The method was applied to samples from athymic (nu/nu) mice treated with d-threo-PPMP by intraperitoneal injection. d-threo-PPMP levels of approximately 10-20 microg/ml ( approximately 20-40 microM) in plasma and approximately 45 microg/g in liver were obtained. The present method can be used to quantify d-threo-PPMP in mice for bioavailability and dose-response studies.
