A duloxetine stable labeled isotope （duloxetine ds） was used as an internal standard. Analyte and the internal standard were extracted from 100 btL of human plasma via solid phase extraction technique using Oasis HLB cartridges. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a Cl8 column by using a mixture of acetonitrile 5 mM ammonium acetate buffer （83：17, v/v） as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.9 mL/min. The calibration curve obtained was linear （r2≥0.99） over the concentration range of 0.05 101 ng/mL. Multiple-reaction monitoring mode （MRM） was used for quantification of ion transitions at rn/z 298.3/154.1 and 303.3/159.1 for the drug and the internal standard, respectively. Method validation was performed as per FDA guidelines and the results met the acceptance criteria. A run time of 2.5 min for each sample made it possible to analyze more than 300 plasma samples per day. The proposed method was found to be applicable to clinical studies.展开更多

Atorvastatin–Glimepiride combines a competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase and a sulfonylurea anti-diabetic drug. The purpose of this study was to develop single method for Atorvastatin and Glimepiride in plasma by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) that would result into a simultaneous estimation of Atorvastatin and Glimepiride avoiding acid –lactone inter conversions right from sample collections to analysis on the LC-MS/MS. Sample collection procedure optimized for Atorvastatin holds good for Glimepiride, hence resulting into a simultaneous estimation of Atorvastatin and Glimepiride. Liquid-liquid extraction and liquid chromatography coupled to positive ion mode tandem mass spectrometry was used to develop the method and was validated according to US FDA guidelines. The calibration curves for two analytes were linear (R2 ≥ 0.9950, n = 4) over the concentration range of 0.2 - 30 ng/mL for Atorvastatin and 1 - 250 ng/mL for Glimepiride. Mean extraction recoveries 80.34 ± 9.43 for Atorvastatin and 88.19 ± 7.13 for Glimepiride. Intra- and inter-run mean percent accuracy was between 85% - 115% and percent imprecision was ≤15%. Stability studies revealed that Atorvastatin and Glimepiride were stable in plasma during bench top (10.5 h at room temperature), in Injector (47.5 h), at the end of three successive freeze and thaw cycles and long term at -65℃ ± 15℃ for 114 days. The method was successfully applied to the study of pharmacokinetics of Atorvastatin and Glimepiride in healthy volunteers. Simultaneous estimation of Atorvastatin and Glimepiride is cost effective, reduces analysis cycle time, enables effective utilization of resources and reduces bleeding burden on human volunteers.展开更多
