ABT-639

Rats^[1]
The pharmacokinetic properties are determined in Sprague Dawley rats dosed intravenously with 5 μmol/kg ABT-639 prepared in 10% DMSO/90% poly ethylene glycol 400 (PEG400). The plasma levels of ABT-639 are determined using HPLC and mass spectrometry. Following oral administration (p.o.) of the ABT-639 (3, 10 and 30 mg/kg) prepared in 10% PEG400/10% Cremophor EL/80% Oleic Acid the levels of ABT-639 in plasma and brain are determined. Briefly, the brains are immediately removed and freed from blood vessels as much as possible. The resulting brain tissues are frozen at -20°C, followed by weighing and homogenization before analysis. The heparinized blood samples are also frozen (-20°C) until analysis. ABT-639 is separated from the blood and brain samples using protein precipitation with acetonitrile followed by quantification with liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy. Plasma samples for concentration determinations from in vivo efficacy experiments are collected from each animal within 15 min following behavioral testing.
