Key findings

Mean recovery is 101.7 ± 4.48%. In vitro t1/2 is 27.29 min and CLint is 25.4 μL min−1 mg−1, implying moderate hepatic extraction rather than ultra-rapid clearance.

Methodology

Authors developed a C18 MRM method (pemigatinib 488→401/186, flavopiridol IS), validated QCs at 5–400 ng mL−1 after ACN precipitation from HLM, and used an in vitro t1/2 well-stirred model for clearance.

Limitations

No patient pharmacokinetic curves; HLM t1/2 is an in vitro predictor, and the authors note in vivo TDM still needs future work.

Role on claims

Each row is a claim on a concept or method page where this paper supports, challenges, or qualifies the statement. Roles are hand-checked — not a model guess.

  • SupportsHPLCmethod

    A validated C18 MRM LC–MS/MS method (pemigatinib 488→401/186, flavopiridol IS) after acetonitrile precipitation from human liver microsomes has mean recovery 101.7 ± 4.48% with QCs at 5–400 ng mL⁻¹. In vitro t½ is 27.29 min and CLint is 25.4 μL min⁻¹ mg⁻¹, implying moderate hepatic extraction. No patient PK curves are reported.

    Evidence for the claim as stated.

  • SupportsHPLCmethod

    Agreement with HPLC-UV recoveries does not mean the new assay is HPLC. The Ag/Au cluster probe matches 94–106% recoveries in 1.5 min but cannot speciate mixed FQs, which a chromatographic method is built to do. Pemigatinib LC–MS/MS recovery 101.7% is a validated concentration assay in HLM, not a 1.5 min optical screen.
