This invention discloses a method for quantitatively detecting
sunitinib (SUN) and N-deethylsunitinib (SU12662) in
dried blood spots and its application. This invention employs quantitative
dried blood spot (qDBS) sampling combined with LC-MS / MS detection. By using fixed-volume sample loading and whole-spot sampling,
hematocrit interference is eliminated. Under specific chromatographic and
mass spectrometric conditions, precise quantification of SUN and SU12662 in
dried blood spots is achieved. Simultaneously, this invention establishes a
dried blood spot-
plasma concentration conversion model, converting
whole blood concentrations to clinically applicable
plasma concentrations, forming a home sampling protocol for
sunitinib treatment monitoring. This method requires only 15 μL of fingertip blood, the sample is stable and easy to store and transport, exhibits good
linearity, high sensitivity, and minimal matrix effect, and can tolerate 30%–50%
hematocrit fluctuations. It allows for home self-collection, is non-invasive and convenient, and the results are highly consistent with clinical
venous blood collection, effectively improving
patient compliance and
accessibility to
treatment monitoring. It is suitable for personalized
sunitinib medication guidance.
