  Objective: The main objective of the work was to develop a straightforward, fast and selective liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay for determination of pioglitazone (PG), keto pioglitazone (KPG), and hydroxy pioglitazone (HPG) in human plasma and to validate as per recent guidelines.Methods: Analyte and the internal standard (IS) were extracted from plasma through liquid-liquid extraction and chromatographed on a Xterra RP18, 100×4.6, 5 μ column using methanol: acetonitrile mixture and 10 mM Ammonium formate buffer (70:30, v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min. The API-3200 Q Trap LC-MS/MS instrument in multiple reaction monitoring mode was used for detection. Diphenhydramine was utilized as IS.Results: The linearity was established in the concentration range of 20.15-1007.58 ng/mL for PG, 20.35-1017.58 ng/mL for KPG, and 19.68-491.22 ng/mL for HPG in human plasma. All the validation parameters were well within the acceptance limits.Conclusion: A new simple LC-MS/MS method was developed for the determination of PG, KPG, and HPG in human plasma. This method can be easily applied for the estimation of pharmacokinetic parameters of PG, KPG, and HPG.

A sensitive and robust liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the determination of nimbolide in mouse serum. Exemestane was used as the internal standard (IS). Here, we employed acetonitrile-based protein precipitation (PPT) for serum sample preparation, and performed chromatographic separation using an ODS Hypersil C18 column (100 mm × 2.1 mm, 5 µm) with gradient elution (0.1% formic acid in water vs 100% acetonitrile). The run time was 6 min. Instrumental analysis was performed by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) in the multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) under positive mode. A good linear calibration was achieved in the 5–1000 ng/mL range. The intra- and inter-day precisions for nimbolide were ≤12.6% and ≤13.9% respectively. Intra-day accuracy ranged from 96.9–109.3%, while inter-day accuracy ranged from 94.3–110.2%. The matrix effect of nimbolide, detected but consistent at low and high concentrations, do not affect linearity of standard curve. In conclusion, we have developed and validated a sensitive analytical method for determination of a novel natural compound nimbolide in mouse serum, and it has been successfully applied to our preclinical study in investigating the pharmacokinetic properties of nimbolide, which could greatly facilitate the preclinical development of the promising lead compound for anticancer therapy.

A selective, high sensitive and high throughput liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) method has been developed and validated for the chromatographic separation and quantitation of duloxetine in human EDTA plasma using fluoxetine (IS) as an internal standard. Analyte and IS were extracted from human plasma by liquid-liquid extraction using MTBE-n Hexane (80:20).The eluted samples were chromatographed on X-terra RP8 (50 mmx4.6 mm, 5 μm particle size) column by using mixture of 30 mM ammonium formate (pH-5.0±0.05) and acetonitrile as an isocratic mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.40 mL/min and analyzed by mass spectrometer in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) using the respective m/z 298.08→154.0 for duloxetine and 310.02→148.07 for IS. The linearity of the response/ concentration curve was established in human plasma over the concentration range 0.100-100.017 ng/mL. The lower detection limit (LOD,S/N>3) was 0.04 ng/mL and the lower limit of quantization (LOQ,S/N>10) was 0.100 ng/mL. This LC-MS/MS method was validated with Intra-batch and Inter-batch precision of 5.21-7.02. The Intra-batch and Inter-batch accuracy was 97.14-103.50 respectively. Recovery of duloxetine in human plasma is 80.31% and ISTD recovery is 81.09%. The main pharmacokinetic parameters were Tmax(hr) = (7.25±1.581), Cmax(ng/mL) (44.594±18.599), AUC0→t, = (984.702±526.502) and AUC0→∞, (1027.147±572.790) respectively.

Objective: A validated liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method was developed for canagliflozin in human plasma along with stability studies. Methods: The chromatographic separation of canagliflozin was performed on Zorbax XDB phenyl (75 × 4.6 mm, 3.5 mm) using methanol:acetate buffer (80:20 v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The LC–MS/MS system consists of API 4000 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with turbospray ionization and an AS8020 automatic sample injector. Results: The retention time of canagliflozin was 1.15 min and total runtime was 2 min. The multiple reaction monitoring was 462.5/267.1 (m/z) for canagliflozin and 466.4/267.2 (m/z) for internal standard (canagliflozin D4), respectively. The method was linear over the range of 10–7505 ng/ml. The calculated slope ranged from 0.0451 to 0.0502 and intercepts from 0.0102 to 0.0456 with coefficients of the determination of 0.9970. The overall mean recovery of internal standard and canagliflozin was 76.66 and 79.77, respectively. Conclusion: The method was successfully validated and it was found to be within the limits for accuracy, precision, and linearity and it is stable under analytical conditions used.

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.

Determination of Benzodiazepines in Urine Via Benzophenone Derivatives Using Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass SpectrometryThe aim of this study was to validate a new method for determining benzodiazepines in urine via their benzophenone derivatives, based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Selected benzodiazepines were analysed after acid hydrolysis of urine and extraction by ethyl acetate in the presence of an internal standard. Samples were analysed using electrospray ionization LC-MS/MS in a multiple reaction monitoring mode. The chromatographic run time on a reversed phase C18 analytical column was set for 9 min. This method was validated in 21 patients receiving methadone. Benzodiazepines intake was established in two out of three patients. LC-MS/MS results were also compared with the rapid immunoassay and the methods showed good agreement. However, in three cases benzodiazepines were detected by LC-MS/MS, but not by the immunoassay. The sensitivity of the developed LC-MS/MS method is comparable to or even higher than of previously reported methods, which makes it suitable as a confirmatory method.
