Introduction. Viral infections are a serious problem that occurs during the use of immunosuppressants in preparation for organ transplantation and in the postoperative period. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is one of the main causes of diseases in people with weakened immune systems. It has a direct impact on one’s body and makes it more likely to reject a transplanted organ. Antiviral drugs are used to treat and prevent this infectious disease. Valganciclovir is a prodrug whose active metabolite is ganciclovir. Valganciclovir is the drug of choice in the treatment of CMV infections. Currently, there are no researches on the matter of simultaneous determination of both valganciclovir and ganciclovir in human blood plasma by means of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet detection. This research delivers a thorough description of development and validation of a particular method for simultaneous determination of valganciclovir and ganciclovir in the plasma after sample preparation by the method of protein precipitation.Aim. The aim of this study is to develop method for the quantitative determination of valganciclovir and its active metabolite ganciclovir in human plasma by HPLC-UV for pharmacokinetic studies.Materials and methods. Quantitative determination of tadalafil in plasma by HPLC-UV. A sample was prepared using protein precipitation.Results and discussion. This method was validated by next validation parameters: selectivity, matrix effect, calibration curve, accuracy, precision, lower limit of quantification, carry-over and stability.Conclusion. The method of the quantitative determination of valganciclovir and its active metabolite ganciclovir in human plasma was developed and validated by HPLC-UV. The analytical range of the was 5,0–1000,0 ng/ml for valganciclovir and 100,0–10000,0 ng/ml for ganciclovir in plasma.

Aim: A sensitive method to quantify nafithromycin and its N-desmethyl metabolite in human plasma was necessary for Phase I pharmacokinetic studies. Methodology: A precise and accurate LC–MS/MS bioanalytical method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of nafithromycin (NFT, WCK 4873) and N-desmethyl metabolite (M1, WCK 4978) in human plasma. Clarithromycin was used as an internal standard. Protein precipitation technique was used as sample preparation approach. The calibration curve was linear (r ≥ 0.99) over the concentration range of 10–5000 ng/ml for NFT and M1. Method was validated as per US FDA guideline. Conclusion: The proposed method was successfully applied for determination of plasma levels of the NFT and M1 during Phase I clinical studies.

Objective: The present study was aimed to develop a rapid, specific and sensitive method based on LC-MS/MS method was developed for the determination of urocarb using etomidate as an internal standard. Methods: Chromatography was achieved on Discovery C18, 50 × 2.1 mm, 5 μm column. Samples were chromatographed in a gradient mode (eluent A (acetonitrile-water–formic acid, 5: 95: 0.1 v/v), eluent B (acetonitrile–formic acid, 100: 0.1 v/v)). The initial content of the eluent B of 8%, which increases linearly to 1.0 min to 100%, is maintained up to 1.5 min and returned to the original 8% to 1.51 min. The mobile phase was delivered at a flow rate of 0.400 ml/min into the mass spectrometer ESI chamber. The sample volume was 4 μl. Results: The total chromatographic run time was 2.0 min and the elution of urocarb and IS (etomidate) occurred at ~1.53 and 1.67 min, respectively. A linear response function was established at 1-100 ng/ml for urocarb and etomidate in human plasma. The % mean recovery for urocarb in LQC, MQC and HQC was 104.1 %, 100.0 % and 97.4 %. The lowest concentration with the RSD<20% was taken as LLOQ and was found to be 1.03 ng/ml for urocarb. The within-run coefficients of variation ranged between 0.271 % and 0.478 % for urocarb. The within-run percentages of nominal concentrations ranged between 99.12 % and 100.21 % for urocarb. The between-run coefficients of variation ranged between 0.388 % and 0.601 % for urocarb. The between-run percentages of nominal concentrations ranged between 98.78 % and 101.11 % for urocarb. Conclusion: A highly sensitive, specific, reproducible, rapid and high-throughput LC-MS/MS assay was developed and validated to quantify urocarb in human plasma as per the regulatory guidelines. Due to the sensitivity of the developed method, it can be applied to the monitoring of plasma levels in the analysis of drug in preclinical and clinical pharmacokinetic studies. All the parameters and results were found within the acceptance limit as given in the validation protocol.

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.

The aim of this study was to develop and validate a high-performance liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method for analysis of the amiridine in human plasma. The analyte and internal standard (IS), zolpidem, were extracted from human plasma by solid phase extraction (SPE with SOLA cartridges) and separated on a Zorbax SB-C18 column using methanol and 0.2% formic acid in water as mobile phase. Detection was performed using an electrospray ionization source and mass spectrometric positive multireaction monitoring mode (+MRM) at a voltage capillary of +2000 V. The assay was linear over the concentration range 0.5–200 ng/mL with the lowest limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 0.5 ng/mL. The method also afforded satisfactory results in terms of the sensitivity, specificity, precision (intra- and interday %), accuracy, recovery, and the stability of the analyte under various conditions. The method can be successfully applied to pharmacokinetic studies.
