A fast, sensitive and simple method for mirtazapine quantification in human plasma by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS. Application to a comparative bioavailability study.

In the present study a simple, fast, sensitive and robust method to quantify mirtazapine in human plasma using quetiapine as the internal standard (IS) is described. The analyte and the IS were extracted from human plasma by a simple protein precipitation with methanol and were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to an electrospray tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS). Chromatography was performed isocratically on a C(18), 5 µm analytical column and the run time was 1.

Chlorpromazine quantification in human plasma by UPLC-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. Application to a comparative pharmacokinetic study.

In the present study a method to quantify chlorpromazine in human plasma using cyclobenzaprine as the internal standard (IS) is described. The analyte and the IS were extracted from human plasma by a liquid-liquid extraction with diethyl ether/dichloromethane (70/30, v/v) and analyzed by an ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled to an electrospray tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometer in positive mode (UPLC-ES(+)-MS/MS). Chromatography was performed isocratically on an Aquity UPLC BEH C18 1.

Determination of chlorpheniramine in human plasma by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS: application to a dexchlorpheniramine comparative bioavailability study.

In the present study a fast, sensitive and robust validated method to quantify chlorpheniramine in human plasma using brompheniramine as internal standard (IS) is described. The analyte and the IS were extracted from plasma by LLE (diethyl ether-dichloromethane, 80:20, v/v) and analyzed by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS. Chromatographic separation was performed using a gradient of methanol from 35 to 90% with 2.

A novel and sensitive method for ethinylestradiol quantification in human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) tandem mass spectrometry: application to a comparative pharmacokinetics study.

In the present study, a novel, fast, sensitive and robust method to quantify ethinylestradiol in human plasma using 17alpha-ethinylestradiol-d4 as the internal standard (IS) is described. The analyte and the IS were extracted from acidified plasma by liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) using diethyl ether-hexane followed by online solid phase extraction (SPE) using online C18 cartridges. Extracted samples were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to atmospheric pressure photoionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-APPI-MS/MS).

Cyproterone acetate quantification in human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to atmospheric pressure photoionization tandem mass spectrometry. Application to a comparative pharmacokinetics study.

A specific, fast and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) assay was developed for the determination of cyproterone (CYP) acetate (CAS 427-51-0) in human plasma. The retention times were 3.26 and 2.
