A rapid, accurate and precise LC-MS method is described for the quantitative determination of pramipexole in human plasma matrix using ropinirole as internal standard. Pramipexole and ropinirole were extracted from plasma by liquid-liquid extraction technique. The method was validated over the concentration range of 100-2514 pg/mL. The method was found to have acceptable accuracy, precision, linearity and selectivity. The mean extraction recovery from spiked plasma samples was in the range of 79.415-87.00 %. The intra-day accuracy of the assay ranged from 98.924 to 112.236 % and intra-day precision ranged from 3.489 to 6.756 %. Inter-day accuracy and precision results for quality control samples ranged between 100.340 and 107.443% of nominal and precision is observed to be 3.970-5.714 %. The pramipexole was found to be stable after several stability studies. The proposed method yielded a quick, simple and reliable protocol for estimating pramipexole concentrations in human plasma.

A specific and sensitive method of liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry was demonstrated for the experimental determination of venetoclax in human plasma utilising venetoclax-D8 as an internal standard. The column Xbridge C18, 50 × 4.6mm, 5 µm was used for attaining chromatographic separation by utilising 10mM ammonium formate and methanol as isocratic mobile phase in the composition ratio of 20:80 (V/V). The flow-rate selected was 0.7ml/min. Venetoclax and venetoclax-D8 are identified in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) positive mode with proton adducts at m/z 869.53 →553.21 and m/z 877.14 → 553.23, respectively. For the successful extraction of drug as well as internal standard, liquid-liquid extraction technique was efficiently utilised. The developed technique was established in a linear concentration range of 5.0-5000.0 pg/ml along with correlation coefficient (r2) of 0.9994. Intra and inter-day precisions were found to be 0.7 to 1.90% and 0.7 to 2.0 % for venetoclax and venetoclax-D8, respectively. Accuracy was found to be within 98.6 to 101.99% and 99.17 to 101.14 % for venetoclax and venetoclax-D8, respectively. It was observed that throughout the bench top studies, post-operative stability studies and freeze-thawing cycles, venetoclax retained stability.

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.

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

Abstract A simple and sensitive GC/MS method for the determination of tramadol and its metabolite (O-desmethyltramadol) in human plasma was developed and validated. Medazepam was used as an internal standard. The calibration curves were linear (r = 0.999) over tramadol and O-desmethyltramadol concentrations ranging from 10 to 200 ng/mL and 7.5 to 300 ng/mL, respectively. The method had an accuracy of &gt;95% and intra- and interday precision (RSD%) of ≤4.83% and ≤4.68% for tramadol and O-desmethyltramadol, respectively. The extraction recoveries were 97.6 ± 1.21% and 96.3 ± 1.66%for tramadol and O-desmethyltramadol, respectively. The LOQ using 0.5 mL human plasma was 10 ng/mL for tramadol and 7.5 ng/mL for O-desmethyltramadol. Stability studies showed that tramadol and O-desmethyltramadol were stable in human plasma after 8 h incubation at room temperature or after 1 week storage at –20°C with three freeze-thaw cycles. Also, this method was successfully applied to six patients who had been given an intravenous formulation of 100 mg tramadol with Cmax results of 2018.1 ± 687.8 and 96.1 ±22.7 ng/mL for tramadol and O-desmethyltramadol, respectively.
