Resumen
Given the lack of investments, structure, and difficulty of metabolite isolation,
promising natural product studies do not progress to preclinical studies, such as
pharmacokinetics. 2′-Hydroxyflavanone (2HF) is a flavonoid that has shown
promising results in different types of cancer and leishmaniasis. For accurate
quantification of 2HF in BALB/c mouse blood, a validated HPLC-MS/MS method
was developed. Chromatographic analysis was performed using C18 (5μm,
150mm × 4.6 mm). The mobile phase consisted of water containing 0.1%
formic acid, acetonitrile, and methanol (35/52/13 v/v/v) at a flow rate and total
running time of 0.8 mL/min and 5.50 min, respectively, with an injection volume of
20 μL. 2HF was detected by electrospray ionization in negative mode (ESI-) using
multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). The validated bioanalytical method showed
satisfactory selectivity without significant interference for the 2HF and IS. In
addition, the concentration range between 1 and 250 ng/mL showed good
linearity (r = 0.9969). The method showed satisfactory results for the matrix
effect. Precision and accuracy intervals varied between 1.89% and 6.76% and
95.27% and 100.77%, respectively, fitting the criteria. No degradation of 2HF in the
biological matrix was observed since stability under freezing and thawing
conditions, short duration, postprocessing, and long duration showed
deviations less than 15%. Once validated, the method was successfully applied
in a 2HF oral pharmacokinetic study with mouse blood, and the pharmacokinetic
parameters were determined. 2HF demonstrated a Cmax of 185.86 ng/mL, a Tmax
of 5 min, and a half-life (T1/2) of 97.52 min.
