Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A sensitive LC/MS/MS method has been developed by derivatization of 17beta-estradiol (E2) with dansyl chloride to quantitate 17beta-E2 in female rat serum. The use of E2-d(5) minimized interferences from endogenous 17beta-E2 in order to achieve a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 2.5 pg/ml using 150 microl of female rat serum. The recovery of the dansyl derivative was 95% or greater in quality control samples. The intra and interday assay precision was better than 8.2 and 6.2%, respectively, with accuracies ranging from 97 to 101% in the quality control samples. The assay was used for the quantitation of serum E2 as a biomarker for the estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist activity of small molecule SERMs (selective estrogen receptor modulators) in the female rat brain. The study revealed that a statistically significant upregulation of serum 17beta-E2 occurred for rats dosed with SERMs that are known to penetrate the brain and disrupt the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis. Variations in 17beta-E2 in ascending dose studies also correlated with the corresponding trends in CYP17a1 levels, an mRNA biomarker for ovarian hyperstimulation. This biomarker assay has provided a useful screen for medicinal chemistry optimization to produce SERMs that do not interfere with negative feedback of estrogens on the brain and for biological hypothesis testing.
