Bioanalytical methods for bioequivalence studies require high sensibility and rapidity due to the large number of samples and the low plasma concentration of drugs. The present study aimed to develop and validate a high-performance liquid chromatography method to quantify cimetidine (CMT) in human plasma and to apply it in a bioequivalence study. Spiked plasma of 500 µl (l, m and h concentration) was used for the assay. The HPLC injection volume was 20μl of the reconstitute sample where, 2 ml of ethyl acetate used for extraction purposes. Cimetidine was prepared separately for low (80 ng/ml), medium (2000 ng/ml) and high (3600 ng/ml) concentrations and internal standard (ranitidine) concentration was 3000 ng/ml. Freeze thawing and long terms stability were conducted at -25º c. The individual calibration curve for spiked standards was linear with R2= 0.99. The inaccuracy values for QC samples were within 15% of the actual value and not more than 20% for the LOQ. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 40 ng/ml, which was also the lowest concentration of cimetidine that was quantitated with the variability of 5.9%. The within day precision and between day precision for LOQ were 10.8 and 5.9 respectively. The retention time for the analyte was 4.1-4.5 minutes during the within a day and between day results. The mean % inaccuracy values for low, medium and high concentration were 6.8, 5.6 and 7.8 respectively for within day and 2.4, 6.1 and 7.9 respectively for between days. The within day and between day % inaccuracy for LOQ concentration was 12.4 and 5.5 respectively. The mean recoveries for low, medium and high concentration of cimetidine were 80.2, 70.9 and 74.2. The overall mean recovery for cimetidine was 75.1%. The maximum inaccuracy for freeze thaw cycle and long term stability samples for low, medium and high was found with CV less than 15% for all concentrations, indicating that cimetidine is stable. The developed method was precise and accurate and was suitable to be applied for the bioequivalence study of cimetidine.

Objective: To develop and validate a modified isocratic reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method for determination of cilnidipine and nebivolol in human plasma to be used for pharmacokinetic studies.Methods: The drug was extracted from plasma samples by direct protein precipitation technique using acetonitrile. Amlodipine was used as internal standard (IS). Samples were analyzed on BDS C18 column (250 x 4.6 mm, 5 µm), applying ortho phosphoric acid (0.1%): Acetonitrile, at a ratio of 45:55 v/v in isocratic mode as a mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 ml/min to attain adequate resolution. Separations were performed at room temperature and monitored at a wavelength of 260 nm after injection of 50μl samples into the HPLC system. The analytical method was validated according to FDA bioanalytical method validation guidance. The method was applied for pharmacokinetic study of cilnidipine and nebivolol tablets-10 mg and 5 mg were administered as a single dose to 6 healthy male rabbits under fasting condition. Twelve blood samples were withdrawn from each rabbit over 24 h periods. From the plasma concentration-time data of each individual, the pharmacokinetic parameters; Cmax, Tmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ were calculated.Results: A peak area was obtained for cilnidipine and nebivolol at 3.943 and 4.719 min retention time respectively. Linearity was established at a concentration range of 0.20-20 μg/ml (r2=0.999, n=8) for cilnidipine and 0.02-2 μg/ml (r2=0.999, n=8) for nebivolol. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was identifiable and reproducible at 0.2μg/ml for cilnidipine and 0.02 μg/ml for nebivolol. The coefficients of variation (%cv) of the intra-day and inter-day precision of cilnidipine at 600, 1000 and 1600ng/ml levels were found to be 6.90%, 6.19%, 5.22%; and 7.74%, 6.54%, 5.77%, respectively, which are lower than the accepted criteria limits (15-20 %). The mean recovery (%) cilnidipine at 600, 1000, and 1600ng/ml was found to be 101.03%, 99.27% and 104.87%, and for nebivolol 60, 100, and 160 ng/ml was found to be 106.13%, 107.03% and 98.06% respectively. Stability at different conditions and in autosampler was also established. The mean pharmacokinetic parameters; Cmax, Tmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ were 6 ng/ml, 2 hr, 96.76 mg. hr/ml, 63.45 mg. hr/ml for cilnidipine and 5.8ng/ml, 2hr, 74.78 mg. hr/ml, 100.25 mg. hr/ml for nebivolol respectively.Conclusion: The present analytical method was found to be specific, sensitive, accurate and precise for quantification of cilnidipine and nebivolol in human plasma. It can be successively applied for pharmacokinetics, bioavailability and bioequivalence studies.

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.

A method has been developed for the separation and measurement of dothiepin and the N-desmethyl metabolite, northiaden, in human plasma or serum by high performance liquid chromatography. The method uses a structurally-related drug, amitriptyline, as an internal standard and provides a limit of detection of about 10 ng/ml for each component. At a concentration of 20 ng/ml, northiaden and dothiepin could be measured within ±11% and ± 6% of the mean respectively and at 200 ng/ml within ± 3% and ± 1% of the mean. The method has been applied to the analysis of serum from patients undergoing dothiepin therapy.

A reliable, selective and sensitive LC-MS/MS assay has been proposed for the determination of nitrofurantoin in human plasma. The analyte and nitrofurazone were extracted from 100 μL of human plasma via SPE on Strata-X 33 μm extraction cartridges. Chromatography was done on a BDS Hypersil C18 (100 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) column under isocratic conditions. Quantitation was done using the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode for deprotonated precursor to product ion transitions of nitrofurantoin (m/z 237.0 → 151.8) and nitrofurazone (m/z 197.0 → 123.9). The limit of detection and the lowest limit of quantitation of the method were 0.25 ng mL-1 and 5.00 ng mL-1, respectively, with a linear dynamic range of 5.00-1500 ng mL-1 for nitrofurantoin. The intra- -batch and inter-batch precision (RSD, %) was ≤ 5.8 %, while the mean extraction recovery was > 92 %. The method was successfully applied to a bioequivalence study of a 100 mg nitrofurantoin capsule formulation in 36 healthy subjects.

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: Allergic diseases are considered as the major burden on public health with increased prevalence globally. Histamine H1-receptor antagonists are the foremost commonly used drugs in the treatment of allergic disorders. The target drug in this study, loratadine, belongs to this class of drugs and its biometabolite desloratadine which is also a non-sedating H1 receptor antagonist with anti-histaminic activity being 2.5 to 4 times greater than loratadine. This study aimed to develop and validate a novel isocratic Reversed-phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for rapid and simultaneous separation and determination of loratadine and its metabolite, desloratadine in human plasma. Methods: The drug extraction method from plasma was based on protein precipitation technique. The separation was carried out on a Thermo Scientific BDS Hypersil C18 column (5μm, 250 x 4.60 mm) in a mobile phase of MeOH: 0.025M KH2PO4 adjusted to pH 3.50 using orthophosphoric acid (85: 15, v/v) at an ambient temperature. The flow rate was maintained at 1 mL/min and maximum absorption was measured using the PDA detector at 248 nm. Results: The retention times of loratadine and desloratadine in plasma samples were recorded to be 4.10 and 5.08 minutes, respectively, indicating a short analysis time. Limits of detection were found to be 1.80 and 1.97 ng/mL for loratadine and desloratadine, respectively, showing a high degree of sensitivity of the method. The method was then validated according to FDA guidelines for the determination of the two analytes in human plasma. Conclusion: The results obtained indicate that the proposed method is rapid, sensitive in the nanogram range, accurate, selective, robust and reproducible compared to other reported methods.
