A method using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) for the determination of terbinafine in human and minipig plasma has been developed and validated. The method used positive-ion mode for monitoring terbinafine, and used a stable isotope labelled terbinafine as the internal standard. Subsequent to acetonitrile protein precipitation, the supernatant was directly (unfiltered) injected onto the LC column (retention time approximately 4.3 min) for analysis. Interday and intraday accuracy and precision were assessed from the relative recoveries (observed concentration in percent of the nominal value) of spiked samples analyzed on three different days. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was 0.0679 ng/mL in human and minipig using a plasma sample volume of 0.08 mL. The method was fast, specific, and exhibited ruggedness. Furthermore, the use of turbulent flow chromatography (TurboFlow LC/MS/MS) coupled to mass spectrometry for direct analysis of terbinafine in plasma is discussed. The technique allowed direct introduction of plasma with satisfactory chromatographic peak shape and increased throughput. |
