A rapid, sensitive and specific method for quantification of metolazone in human plasma using metaxalone as internal standard is described. Sample preparation involved a simple liquid-liquid extraction procedure. The extract was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS–MS). Chromatography was performed isocratically on a 5 μm C18analytical column (50 mm × 4.6 mmi.d.) with buffer–acetonitrile 20:80 (v/v) as mobile phase. The response to metolazone was a linear function of concentration over the range 1.00 to 2000.00 ng mL-1. The lower limit of quantification in plasma was 1.0 ng mL-1. The method was successfully applied in a bioequivalence study of a metolazone formulation after administration as a single oral dose.

To develop and validate a rapid, specific and highly sensitive method to quantify nimodipine in human plasma using dibucaine as the internal standard (IS). The analyte and IS were extracted from plasma samples by liquid-liquid extraction using hexane-ethyl acetate (1:1 v/v). The chromatographic separation was performed on a Varian® Polaris C18 analytical column (3 μm, 50 x 2.0 mm) and pre-column SecurityguardTM C18 (4.0 x 3.0 mm) with a mobile phase of Acetonitrile-Ammonium acetate 0.02 ml/L (80:20v/v). The method had a chromatographic run time of 4.5 min and linear calibration curve over the range of 0.1- 40 ng/mL (r > 0.9938). The limit of quantification was 100 pg/mL. Acceptable precision and accuracy were obtained for concentrations over the standard curve ranges. This validated method was successfully applied in determining the pharmacokinetic profile of nimodipine tablets of 30 mg administered to 24 healthy volunteers. The proposed method of analysis provided a sensitive and specific assay for nimodipine determination in human plasma. The time for the determination of one plasma sample was 4.5 min. This method is suitable for the analysis of nimodipine in human plasma samples collected for pharmacokinetic, bioavailability or bioequivalence studies in humans.

ABSTRACTA rapid and simple high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay was developed for the simultaneous determination of three triazole antifungals (voriconazole, posaconazole, and itraconazole and the metabolite of itraconazole, hydroxyitraconazole) in human plasma. Sample preparation involved a simple one-step protein precipitation with 1.0 M perchloric acid and methanol. After centrifugation, the supernatant was injected directly into the HPLC system. Voriconazole, posaconazole, itraconazole, its metabolite hydroxyitraconazole, and the internal standard naproxen were resolved on a C6-phenyl column using gradient elution of 0.01 M phosphate buffer, pH 3.5, and acetonitrile and detected with UV detection at 262 nm. Standard curves were linear over the concentration range of 0.05 to 10 mg/liter (r2> 0.99). Bias was <8.0% from 0.05 to 10 mg/liter, intra- and interday coefficients of variation (imprecision) were <10%, and the limit of quantification was 0.05 mg/liter.

Abstract A high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay for the determination of afatinib (AFT) in human plasma was established. A simple sample preparation of protein precipitation was used and separation was achieved on a C18 column by the gradient mixture of mobile Phase A of water (containing 0.1% ammonia) and the mobile Phase B of acetonitrile and water (V:V = 95:5, containing 0.2% ammonia). The multiple reaction monitoring mode was used to monitor the precursor-to-production transitions of m/z 486.2 → m/z 371.4 for AFT and m/z 492.2 → m/z 371.3 for AFT-d6 (internal standard) at positive ionization mode. The calibration curve ranged from 0.100 to 25.0 ng·mL−1 and the correlation coefficient was greater than 0.99. The intra- and inter-batch precision was less than or equal to 10.0%. Accuracy determined at four concentrations was in the range of 92.3–103.3%. In summary, our method was sensitive, simple and reliable for the quantification of AFT and was successfully applied to a bioequivalence study.

ABSTRACT-PURPOSE: To develop a simple and rapid HPLC method for measuring of four proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), omeprazole (OPZ), pantoprazole (PPZ), lansoprazole (LPZ) and rabeprazole (RPZ) concentrations in human plasma. METHODS: Following a single step liquid–liquid extraction analytes along with an internal standard (IS) were separated using an isocratic mobile phase of phosphate buffer (10 mM)/acetonitrile (53/47, v/v adjusted pH to 7.3 with triethylamine) at flow rate of 1 mL/min on reverse phase TRACER EXCEL 120 ODS-A column at room temperature. RESULTS: Total analytical run time for selected PPIs was 10 min. The assays exhibited good linearity (r2>0.99) over the studied range of 20 to 2500 ng/mL for OPZ, 20 to 4000 ng/mL for PPZ, 20 to 3000 ng/mL for LPZ and 20 to 1500 ng/mL for RPZ. The recovery of method was equal or greater than 80% and lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 20 ng/mL for four PPIs. Coefficient of variation and error at all of the intra-day and inter-day assessment were less than 9.2% for all compounds. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicated that this method is a simple, rapid, precise and accurate assay for determination of four PPIs concentrations in human plasma. This validated method is sensitive and reproducible enough to be used in pharmacokinetic studies and also is time- and cost-benefit when selected PPIs are desired to be analyzed.

Objective: A rapid, sensitive, selective, and reproducible reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed and validated for the determination of crizotinib (CRZ), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor for targeted therapy of anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive non-small-cell lung cancer. Methods: The chromatographic separation was carried out in an isocratic mode on an YMC ODS C18 column with a mobile phase consisting of methanol and water containing 0.1% orthophosphoric acid in the ratio of 50:50 v/v at a flow rate of 0.6 ml/min. The run time was maintained for 10 min and detection was monitored at 267 nm. The method involved reproducible liquid-liquid extraction of drug from human plasma using diethyl ether as extracting solvent. Results: CRZ and internal standard retention times were 6.86 and 7.94 min, respectively. Calibration curves were linear over a concentration range of 20.41–2041.14 ng/ml with correlation coefficient 0.9994. The lower limit of quantification for CRZ in plasma was 20 ng/ml. No endogenous substances were found to interfere with the peaks of drug and internal standard. The intra- and inter-day precision was <9.0% and the accuracy ranged from 97% to 112% over the linear range. All stability studies showed that CRZ in plasma sample was stable. Conclusion: This method was found to be simple, selective, precise, accurate, and cost-effective. Hence, the method can be successfully applied to analyze the CRZ concentration in plasma samples for pharmacokinetic and bioequivalence studies.

Background: Simeprevir is one of the recently discovered drugs for treating hepatitis C which is one of the major diseases across the globe. Objective: The present study involves the development of a new and unique High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method using fluorescence detection for the determination of simeprevir (SIM) in human plasma. Methods: Two methods of extractions were tested, protein precipitation using acetonitrile and liquidliquid extraction. A 25 mM dipotassium hydrogen orthophosphate (pH 7.0)/ACN (50/50; v/v), was used as mobile phase and C18 reversed phase column as the stationary phase. The chromatographic conditions were optimized and the concentration of simeprevir was determined by using the fluorescence detector. Cyclobenzaprine was used as an internal standard. Results: Recovery of the assay method based on protein precipitation was up to 100%. Intra-day and inter-day accuracies range from 92.30 to 107.80%, with Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) range 1.65-8.02%. The present method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study where SIM was administered as a single dose of 150 mg SIM/capsule (Olysio®) to healthy individuals. Conclusion: This method exhibits high sensitivity with a low limit of quantification 10 ng mL-1, good selectivity using fluorescence detection, wide linear application range 10-3000 ng mL-1, good recovery and highly precise and validation results. The developed method can be applied in routine analysis for real samples.

Abstract Tigecycline (TIG), a novel glycylcycline antibiotic, plays an important role in the management of complicated skin and intra-abdominal infections. The available data lack any description of a method for determination of TIG in avian plasma. In our study, a selective, accurate and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed for the determination of TIG in turkey plasma. Sample preparation was based on protein precipitation and liquid-liquid extraction using 1,2-dichloroethane. Chromatographic separation of TIG and minocycline (internal standard, IS) was achieved on an Atlantis T3 column (150 mm × 3.0 mm, 3.0 μm) using gradient elution. The selected reaction monitoring transitions were performed at 293.60 m/z → 257.10 m/z for TIG and 458.00 m/z → 441.20 m/z for IS. The developed method was validated in terms of specificity, selectivity, linearity, lowest limit of quantification, limit of detection, precision, accuracy, matrix effect, carry-over effect, extraction recovery and stability. All parameters of the method submitted to validation met the acceptance criteria. The assay was linear over the concentration range of 0.01-100 μg/ml. This validated method was successfully applied to a TIG pharmacokinetic study in turkey after intravenous and oral administration at a dose of 10 mg/kg at various time-points.
