Biological Activity

Targets	Atazanavir metabolite
ln Vivo	Atazanavir is a commonly prescribed protease inhibitor for treatment of HIV-1 infection. Thus far, only limited data are available on the in vivo metabolism of the drug. Three systemic circulating metabolites have been reported, but their chemical structures have not been released publicly. Atazanavir metabolites may contribute to its effectiveness but also to its toxicity and interactions. Thus, there is a need for extensive metabolic profiling of atazanavir. Our goals were to screen and identify previously unknown atazanavir metabolites and to develop a sensitive metabolite profiling method in plasma. Five atazanavir metabolites were detected and identified in patient samples using liquid chromatography coupled to linear ion trap mass spectrometry: one N-dealkylation product (M1), two metabolites resulting from carbamate hydrolysis (M2 and M3), a hydroxylated product (M4), and a keto-metabolite (M5). For sensitive semiquantitative analysis of the metabolites in plasma, the method was transferred to liquid chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. In 12 patient samples, all the metabolites could be detected, and possible other potential atazanavir keto-metabolites were found. Atazanavir metabolite levels were positively correlated with atazanavir levels, but interindividual variability was high. The developed atazanavir metabolic screening method can now be used for further clinical pharmacological research with this antiretroviral agent [1].

Additional Infomation	Results [1] Method Optimization (Steps 1 and 2). After subjection of atazanavir and D5-atazanavir to collision-induced dissociation on the triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, four major fragments were found, as shown in Fig. 2, together with the proposed fragmentation. The optimal mass spectrometer settings for atazanavir and its corresponding fragments are shown in Table 2. The same optimal settings were found for the corresponding D5-atazanavir fragments. Similar fragments were found during multistage... Discussion [1] We have shown that the number of circulating atazanavir metabolites is higher than previously assumed. Using a systematic approach, we have screened for metabolites and identified five previously unknown atazanavir metabolites. No glucuronide conjugation products were found in plasma. Whether this finding is a result of limited glucuronide conjugation, fast glucuronide conjugate excretion, or limitations of the analytical capacity of the instrument remains to be elucidated.

InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
