Abstract: | A reverse-phase liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method was developed and validated for determination of aminoflavone (AF) in human plasma. Sample preparation involved a liquid–liquid extraction by the addition of 0.25 mL of plasma with 1.0 mL ethyl acetate containing 50 ng/mL of the internal standard zileuton. The analytes were separated on a Waters X-Terra? MS C18 column using a mobile phase consisting of methanol/water containing 0.45% formic acid (70:30, v/v) and isocratic flow at 0.2 mL/min for 6 min. The analytes were monitored by tandem mass spectrometry with electrospray positive ionization. Linear calibration curves were generated over the AF concentration range of 5–2000 ng/mL in human plasma. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was 5 ng/mL for AF in human plasma. The accuracy and within- and between-day precisions were within the generally accepted criteria for bioanalytical method (<15%). This method was successfully applied to characterize AF plasma concentration-time profile in the cancer patients in a phase I trial. |
