Method validation of methotrexate in human plasma by LC-MS technique in patients with brain tumor.

author

Abstract:

Background and aims: A selective and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry method has been established for determination of methotrexate in human plasma. Methods: Methotrexate was extracted from plasma with acetonitrile. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-water-formic acid 74: 25: 1(v/v). Twenty µl of sample was chromatographically analyzed using a repacked ZORBAX-XDB-ODS C18 column (2.1mm×30mm, 3.5 micron). The mode of mass spectrometry was selected-ion monitoring (SIM). Results: Standard curve was linear (r= 0.998) over the concentration range of 0.1–100.0 ng/ml and showed a suitable accuracy and precision. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.05ng/ml. Conclusion: The method is quick, easy, very steady and precise for the partition, assignment and evaluation of methotrexate in human plasma.

Method validation of clonidine hydrochloride in human plasma by LC-MS technique

A simple and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry method has been evaluated for the assignment of clonidine hydrochloride in human plasma. The mobile phase composed of acetonitrile–water 60:40 (v/v), and 0.2% formic acid 20 µL of sample was chromatographically analyzed using a repacked ZORBAX-XDB-ODS C18 column (2.1 mm×30 m...

Method validation of clonidine hydrochloride in human plasma by LC-MS technique

Introduction Clonidine (Fig. 1), an imidazoline derivative, is a centrally acting hypotensive agent but its use is being explored in a number of other indications such as anesthesia and the management of opiate with drawl (1). Clonidine belongs to a class of drugs called central alpha-adrenergic agonists. Clonidine has been in clinical use for over 40 years, which is used to treat hypertensive ...

Validation of a selective method for determination of paroxetine in human plasma by LC-MS/MS.

PURPOSE A sensitive, robust, and selective liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometric method (LC-MS/MS) was developed and validated for paroxetine quantification in human EDTA plasma. METHODS Sample preparation was based on liquid-liquid extraction using a mixture of ethyl acetate/hexane (50/50; v/v) to extract the drug and internal standard from plasma. Chromatography was performed on ...
