During bioanalytical assay development and validation, maintaining the stability of the parent drug and metabolites of interest is critical. While stability of the parent drug has been thoroughly investigated, the stability of unanalyzed metabolites is often overlooked. When an unstable metabolite is known or suspected to interfere with measurement of the parent drug or other metabolites of interest through back‐conversion or other routes, additional tests with these unstable metabolites should be conducted. Here, the development and validation of two assays for quantification of rosuvastatin, one in human plasma and one in human urine, was reported. To this end, additional sets of quality control samples were added during assay validation to ensure the reliability of the assays. Acid treatment of samples is shown to be necessary for rosuvastatin quantification. In this regard, stability issues caused by the metabolite, rosuvastatin lactone, may have been overlooked if assay development and validation had only considered the parent drug, rosuvastatin. These assays represent a case study for how to develop and validate assays with unstable metabolites. Taken together, unstable metabolites should be included in all applicable stability tests.
