Popis: Aim: To develop and validate a fit for purpose method for the simultaneous determination of dexamethasone and its major metabolite, 6β-hydroxydexamethasone, in rabbit plasma and ocular matrices to measure the in vivo release and distribution profile of dexamethasone from intravitreal implants. Materials & methods: An UHPLC–MS/MS system was employed to perform the bioanalysis. The method was validated according to the US FDA Bioanalytical Method Validation Guidance for Industry. Results & conclusion: The method was found to be fit-for-purpose for the described biological matrices and had a LLOQ of 0.1 ng/ml.
