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.

Abstract A simple, rapid, and sensitive LC/electrospray ionization (ESI)-MS method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of rosuvastatin (ROS) and ezetimibe (EZE) in human plasma. Following liquid–liquid extraction, the analytes and an internal standard, atorvastatin (ATO), were separated using an isocratic mobile phase comprising 0.1% (v/v) formic acid–methanol (20 + 80, v/v) on an RP-C18 column. Detection was performed on a mass spectrometer by selected ion monitoring using their respective [M-H]– ions, m/z 480 for ROS, m/z 408 for EZE, and m/z 557 for ATO. For both analytes, the method was linear in the range of 0.1 to 10 ng/mL. Acceptable precision and accuracy were obtained for concentrations over the standard curve range. A run time of 4 min made it possible to determine many plasma samples/day. The validated LC/ESI-MS method can be used to study pharmacokinetics, bioavailability, and bioequivalence of combined dosage forms of ROS and EZE.

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.

The aim of the work is to develop and validate the bioanalytical RP-HPLC method for determination of acalabrutinib in plasma with nifedipine drug as internal standard. Liquid-liquid extraction with diethyl ether and methanol in the ratio of 50:50 (v/v) was used for the extraction of drugs from the biological matrix. The optimized chromatography conditions consist of methanol, acetonitrile and 0.1% orthophosphoric acid in the ratio of 45:35:20 (v/v) as a mobile phase with KNAUER Eurospher II C18 Column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5μ) as stationary phase. Isocratic elution with 0.9 mL flow separates acalabrutinib at 4.6 min and nifedipine at 6.8 min. The method was validated as per ICH guidelines and linear calibration curve was obtained for the peak area ratio of acalabrutinib and nifedipine compound across a range of 50-3000 ng/mL. Greater than 90% recoveries were obtained for acalabrutinib. The relative standard deviation (%RSD) was found to be < 5% for precision studies. Hence, the method was found to be suitable for the analysis of acalabrutinib in spiked human plasma and is used for the pharmacokinetic study

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.

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 This paper describes a GC/MS method for the determination of ibuprofen in human plasma and urine. Ibuprofen and internal standard naproxen were extractedfrom plasma and urine by using a liquid–liquid extraction method. Derivatization was carried outusing N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide. Calibration curves were linear over the concentration range of 0.05–5.0 and 0.1–10.0 μg/mL for plasma and urine, respectively. Intraday and interday precision (RSD) values for ibuprofen in plasma and urine were less than 6.31%, and accuracy (relative error) was better than 12.00%. The mean recovery of ibuprofen was 89.53% for plasma and 93.73% for urine. TheLOD was 0.015 and 0.03 μg/mL and the LOQ was 0.05 and 0.1 μg/mL for plasma and urine, respectively. The method was successfully applied to blood samples from three healthy male volunteers who had been given an oral tablet of 600 mg ibuprofen.

A rapid, robust and selective high pressure liquid chromatography–positive electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry method has been developed and validated for the quantification of quetiapine (QUE) in human plasma with K2EDTA using oxcarbazepine (IS) as an internal standard. Analyte and internal standard were extracted from human plasma by solid-phase extraction using acetonitrile. The eluted samples were chromatographed on a C18 column by using a 10:75:15v/v mixture of ammonium formate buffer (5 mM, pH 4.50) and acetonitrile and methanol as an isocratic mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min and analyzed by mass spectrometry in the multiple reaction monitoring mode using the respective [M+H]+ions,m/z384.3/253.2 for Quetiapine andm/z253.1/208.1 for the internal standard. The assay exhibited a linear dynamic range of 5.01 - 2501.04 ng/mL for quetiapine in human plasma. Acceptable precision and accuracy were obtained for concentrations over the standard curve range. A run time of 2.5 min for each sample made it possible to analyze 300 patient plasma samples per day. The validated method has been successfully used for the estimation of quetiapine in real time schizophrenia patient’s plasma samples for pharmacokinetic study.

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.

In this paper, a UPLC-MS/MS method was developed for the determination of ropivacaine and its metabolite 3-hydroxy ropivacaine in cerebrospinal fluid. The cerebrospinal fluid was processed by ethyl acetate liquid-liquid extraction. The multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode was used for quantitative analysis by monitoring the transitions of m/z 275.3 → 126.2 for ropivacaine, m/z 291.0 → 126.0 for 3-hydroxy ropivacaine, and m/z 290.2 → 198.2 for the internal standard. Standard curves for ropivacaine and 3-hydroxy ropivacaine in cerebrospinal fluid were conducted over the concentration range of 0.2–2000 ng/mL, demonstrating excellent linearity, and the lower limit of quantification was 0.2 ng/mL. The intraday precision of ropivacaine and 3-hydroxy ropivacaine was less than 11%, while the interday precision was less than 7%. The accuracy ranged between 87% and 107%, the average extraction efficiency was higher than 79%, and the matrix effect was between 89% and 98%. The developed method was then applied to a case of suspected poisoning of ropivacaine.
