Method development and validation of Guanfacine in rat plasma by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry: Application to a pharmacokinetic study.

A selective, sensitive and high-throughput liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) method has been developed and validated for the quantitation of Guanfacine in rat plasma. Sample clean-up involved liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and 100 μL of rat plasma was used. YMC BASIC column (50 mm×2.
