Samples were analyzed by HPLC using UV detection at 290 nm. The following examples describe the procedures used for preparation of the buffers, dissolution of the indolocarbazole esters therein, and analysis of solution stability after 24 hours.
- Solution 1 was water.
- Solution 2 was a 10 mM acetate buffer at pH 4 which was prepared by weighing 0.68g of sodium acetate 3H 2 O into 500 ml of water and adjusting the pH with acetic acid.
- Solution 3 was a 10 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7, which was prepared by weighing 0.30g of monobasic sodium phosphate and 0.36g of dibasic sodium phosphate into 500 mlof water, stirring until completely dissolved, and adjusting the pH with hydrochloric acid.
- Solution 4 was a 10 mM Tris buffer, pH 9, which was prepared by weighing 0.79g of Tris
- Solution 5 was a DMSO control. None of the indolocarbazole esters tested showed conversion to I-5 in DMSO.
- Sample solutions were prepared by weighing 0.5-1 mg of the indolocarbazole ester into an amber 1.5 ml autosampler vial, to which the appropriate quantity of one of the buffer solutions was added, in order to achieve a final concentration of 1 mg/ml.
- the sample solutions were vortexed and sonicated for 10 minutes. Fifty ⁇ l aliquots were placed into 1.5 ml amber autosampler vials. The reaction was quenched at a selected time interval by

A total of 6.8 g of sodium acetate trihydrate was added to one liter of water, and the mixture was stirred until the sclid was completely dissolved. One hundred ml aliquots were placed into 150 ml Erlenmeyer flasks, and the pH values were adjusted with HCl to pH 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

- Mammalian body fluids and tissues contain a diverse number of nonspecific esterases that can hydrolyze ester linkages in xenobiotics. These enzymes appear to have overlapping selectivities and variable activities depending on the species and are found both in the cytosol and
- Cytosolic esterases are typically associated with a specific reaction, whereas the microsomal-associated esterases metabolize a large number of xenobiotic esters. Therefore, incubation of xenobiotics possessing an ester linkage within various biological matrices, such as plasma, tissue cytosol, and tissue microsomes, can be used to predict the availability of a drug in vivo and to rapidly determine the extent of hydrolysis in each matrix.
- Boiled plasma was divided into 500 ⁇ L aliquots, mixed with an aliquot of the internal standard, and spiked with the respective stock indolocarbazole ester solutions to prepare the standard curve.
- Thawed plasma was divided into 500 ⁇ L aliquots, placed in screw-cap vials, mixed with internal standard, and spiked with stock solutions of the respective indolocarbazole esters to yield a nominal concentration of 5000 ng/mL.
- Rat and human liver S-9 fractions (a mixture of cytosol and microsomes) were frozen immediately after preparation. Each aliquot was thawed once for use in incubations. Stock solutions of the indolocarbazole esters were prepared in DMSO. These were used to prepare standard curves in heat inactivated S-9 fraction that had been diluted with 0.2 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4 to yield a 2 mg/mL protein concentration. Heat inactivated S-9 was divided into 500 ⁇ L aliquots, mixed with an aliquot of the internal standard, and spiked with the respective stock ester solutions to prepare the standard curve.
- Incubations containing liver S-9 fraction were prepared by diluting the S-9 fraction in 0.2 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4 to yield a 2 mg/mL protein concentration.

- hydrolysis of 5 out of 6 esters was similar during the first five minutes of incubation; hydrolysis of argininate was complete prior to the first sampling period.
- the maximum rates of hydrolysis revealed some enzyme selectivity in that alaninate hydrochloride and glycinate hydrochloride were more extensively hydrolyzed than histidinate
- DMAB dimethylaminobutyrate hydrochloride
- hydrochloride could not be quantified because conversion to I-5 was not detectable.
- the rates of hydrolysis of the remaining indolocarbazole esters were measurable, but were much lower than those observed in the rat.
- in vitro incubations can yield predictive information about the types of metabolites that may be observed in vivo, as well as information regarding enzyme specificity for a candidate xenobiotic, an in vitro system is nonetheless limited in its ability to define the

- Dawley rats both the DMAB hydrochloride and ⁇ -alaninate hydrochloride were rapidly hydrolyzed to indolocarbazole I-5 ( Figures 13 and 14).
- DMAB could be detected in plasma for two hours following administration; ⁇ -alaninate could only be detected for one hour after administration.
- the amount of indolocarbazole I-5 detected remained relatively constant at approximately 0.2 to 0.3% of the administered dose.
- Lysyl- ⁇ -alaninate resulted in detectable levels of I-5 in plasma following dosing by both the intravenous and subcutaneous routes. Although there were detectable levels of I-5 in plasma following administration of an oral dose, the levels were below the limit of quantitation (50ng/mL). Following intravenous administration, the plasma levels of indolocarbazole I-5 were approximately 600 ng/mL 5 minutes after dosing, with levels gradually decreasing to
