Popis: Bioanalytical methods should be reproducible and consistent when applying to clinical sample analysis. Incurred sample reanalyses (confirmatory reanalyses) are performed to support clinical data, and regulatory agencies evaluate the same before approval of bioequivalent products/drugs. A confirmatory reanalysis was demonstrated for metformin after administration of 2/500 mg repaglinide + metformin fixed dose formulation under fasted and fed conditions. The liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for determination of metformin in human plasma using metformin-d6as an internal standard has been developed and validated. The ions transitions recorded in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) were m/z 130.1→60.0 and 136.2→60.0 for metformin and metformin-d6, respectively. The compounds were isolated by solid phase extraction and separated on a C12 reverse phase (Synergi MAX-RP 80A) column, using isocratic mobile phase flow at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. No matrix effect was observed within t...
