Abstract
We report a precise and accurate method for simultaneous quantification of protease inhibitors (PIs) amprenavir, atazanavir, indinavir, lopinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir and saquinavir in plasma. An internal standard was added to samples prior to protein precipitation with acetonitrile followed by addition of ammonium formate buffer. Analysis was by HPLC-MS/MS. Calibration curves were validated over concentration ranges encompassing both subtherapeutic and potentially 'toxic' drug concentrations. Inter- and intra-assay variation were below 11% and PI recovery was above 87%. The bioanalytical method described is successfully applied to measure PI concentrations obtained from clinical pharmacokinetic studies and routine therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM).Entities:
