[0144] Effect Example 6: Compound A in plasma 5 (n=16) Comparative study on metabolism of epiridol laurate

[0145] This test example is compound A5 , plasma incubation metabolism comparison test of ipiprazol laurate. The specific test steps are as follows:

[0146] (1) Preparation of plasma: Whole blood was collected from SD rats via the eye socket and placed in a vacuum blood collection tube containing sodium heparin. The blood was centrifuged (12000 rpm, 5 min) and the supernatant was taken as plasma.

[0147] (2) Preparation of blank plasma: 100 μL of plasma was placed in a centrifuge tube, 900 μL of methanol was added, vortexed for 3 min, centrifuged (12000 rpm, 5 min), and the supernatant was taken as blank plasma.

[0148] (3) Preparation of drug stock solution: Accurately weigh appropriate amounts of BPZL 125.85 mg and compound A 5 148.47 mg was placed in a 10 mL volumetric flask, and an appropriate amount of methanol was added to dissolve by sonication. The volume was fixed to the mark with methanol and shaken to obtain the stock solution of each drug.

[0149] (4) Preparation of mixed control solution: Accurately pipette 15 μL of each drug stock solution into 500 μL of plasma, add 1 mL of methanol, vortex for 5 min, centrifuge (12000 rpm, 7 min), and take the supernatant to obtain the mixed control solution.

[0150] (5) Preparation of incubation solution: Take 1.0 mL of plasma, add 40 μL of each drug stock solution, vortex for 5 min, and incubate in a shaker (37° C., 100 rpm) to obtain the incubation solution.

[0151] (6) Preparation of detection solution: 40 μL of sample was taken at 0 min, 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, 60 min, and 120 min respectively and placed in a centrifuge tube. 260 μL of acetonitrile was added. The mixture was vortexed for 3 min and centrifuged (12000 rpm, 5 min). The supernatant was collected and injected.

[0152] (7) The chromatographic conditions are as follows:

[0153] Chromatographic column: LP-C18 4.6*250mm 5μm

[0154] Mobile phase: (0.15% triethylamine pH 3.50) Phase A: (pure acetonitrile) Phase B = 1:9

[0155] Running time: 30 minutes

[0156] Injection volume: 10 μL

[0157] Absorption wavelength: 220nm

[0158] Flow rate: 1.5mL / min

[0159] Column temperature: 35°C.
