Pre-clinical development of anti-cancer compound #276

Dr. Clifford Stephen
Texas A&M University

Perform pre-formulation evaluation on #276, including developing a rapid, reliable and reproducible LC-MS/MS assay for #276.

Develop a suitable and stable dosage formulation for #276.

Determine the PK of #276 in rats after an IV bolus administration using a LC-MS/MS quantification method.

Analyze the data using WinNonlin and obtain PK parameters of #276.
