In the present study, we developed and validated a simple, rapid and sensitive assay method using D6-benapenem as internal standard(IS) after one-step precipitation with methanol to determine benapenem in the plasma of infected mice. Separation was achieved on a reverse phase C18 column with a mobile phase composed of acetonitrile containing 0.2% formic acid–water(0.2% formic acid) and 10 mmol/L ammonium acetate in gradient elution mode. A triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer with electrospray ionization source was used as detector and operated by multiple reaction monitoring(MRM) in the positive ion mode. Calibration curves were linear(r>0.99) between 10 and 2000 ng/m L. The quantitative limit was 10 ng/m L, and the intra-and inter-precisions were <4.85% and <1.47%, respectively. The extraction recovery of benapenem and IS was 97.07%–107.09% and 92.47%–111.59%, respectively. The intra-and inter-accuracies were –9.70%– –11.00%, and the matrix effects of benapenem and IS were 85.68%–92.04% and 83.17%–92.04%, respectively. The method was successfully applied to the preclinical pharmacokinetic(PK) studies of benapenem. We also developed a two-compartment model to characterize the PK profiles of benapenem in infected mice, which could provide a better understanding of the PK properties of benapenem.展开更多
