An Indirect Competitive Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for the Determination of Brigatinib and Gilteritinib Using a Specific Polyclonal Antibody

抄録

Brigatinib and gilteritinib are oral tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). We aimed to develop a simple and sensitive indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to quantify brigatinib and gilteritinib in various biological matrices. Antiserum against these TKIs was obtained from mice by using 3-methoxy-4-(-4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl) piperidin-1-yl) aniline as a hapten, which has a common substructure with these TKIs. The generated antibody was used to develop an indirect competitive ELISA for these TKIs in human serum. The lower limit of quantification of brigatinib and gilteritinib in human serum was 6.2 and 6.8 ng/mL, respectively. The developed ELISA was used to examine the pharmacokinetics of these TKIs after oral administration in mice and rats. This ELISA is expected to be a valuable tool in pharmacokinetic studies of these TKIs.
