The current study represents a bioanalytical method for the estimation of rhein (Rh, an active metabolite of diacerein, DIA) in rats treated with novel DIA eutectics to investigate the pharmacokinetics of DIA. A simple protein precipitation technique was used to extract Rh and the internal standard (IS), p-aminobenzoic acid, injected into a Phenomenex Gemini C column. The separation was achieved by a gradient elution comprising ammonium acetate (10 mm; pH 3.

Chromatographic separations were achieved on a Phenomenex Gemini C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) placed in the thermostated column oven at 40°C.

The present study describes a novel liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous estimation of ramipril (RAM) and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) in human plasma using liquid-liquid extraction technique. This method made use of electrospray ionization in positive mode for RAM and in negative mode for HCTZ using triple quadrupole mass spectrometry where carbamazepine was used as an internal standard (IS). Analytes were recovered by methyl tertiary butyl ether:dichloromethane (85:15) subsequently separated on an Enable C18 G column (150 mm × 4.
