A sensitive, selective and rapid bioanalytical method using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry has been developed for the quantification of trifluoperazine in human plasma. Trifluoperazine-D was used as the internal standard and the extraction from human plasma was performed by liquid-liquid extraction technique using tertiary butyl methyl ether as the solvent. Chromatographic separation was carried out on Zodiac C column (50 × 4.

A rapid, selective and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for quantification of procyclidine hydrochloride in human plasma using Procyclidine D11 hydrochloride as internal standard. Liquid-liquid extraction technique with methyl tertiary butyl ether was used for the extraction of plasma samples. Chromatographic separation of the analyte and the internal standard from the endogenous components was done on Zodiac C column (50 × 4.

Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA), previously called Hallervorden Spatz disease, is a group of disorders which share the hallmark of iron deposition in the brain. They are collectively characterized by extrapyramidal movement disorders, particularly those of parkinsonism, dystonia, cognitive regression, neuropsychiatric abnormalities, pyramidal features, optic atrophy, and retinal abnormalities. There is aberrant brain iron metabolism, with large amounts of iron deposited in the globus pallidus and the substantia nigra pars reticulata.

Eltrombopag is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist, used in the treatment of thrombocytopenia. This paper describes a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay method for the determination of eltrombopag in human plasma samples using eltrombopag 13C4 as internal standard (IS). Analyte and the IS were extracted from 50μL of human plasma using protein precipitation technique with no drying, evaporation and reconstitution steps.

This paper describes a simple, rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay for the determination of duloxetine in human plasma. A duloxetine stable labeled isotope (duloxetine d) was used as an internal standard. Analyte and the internal standard were extracted from 100 μL of human plasma solid phase extraction technique using Oasis HLB cartridges.

This paper describes a simple, rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry assay for the determination of cycloserine in human plasma using carbamazepine as internal standard (IS). Analyte and the IS were extracted from the 50μL of human plasma via protein precipitation using acetonitrile. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a C(18) column by using a mixture of acetonitrile-0.

A simple, rapid, and sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectro-metric (LC-MS/MS) assay method has been developed and fully validated for the simultaneous quantification of atorvastatin and aspirin in human plasma using a polarity switch. Proguanil and furosemide were used as the internal standards for the quantification of atorvastatin and aspirin, respectively. The analytes were extracted from human plasma by the liquid-liquid extraction technique using methyl tert-butyl ether.
