Abstract:

Objective To establish a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS)for the quantitative determination of plasma paclitaxel,and to evaluate its performance. Methods Plasma paclitaxel was determined quantitatively by LC-MS/MS. High performance liquid chromatography was used. The flow speed was 0.3 mL/min. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was used for quantitative determination. The ion pairs of paclitaxel and PTX-D5 were 876.4>308.2 and 881.5>313.2,respectively. According to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guideline about bioanalytical method validation,the general analytical performance validation was performed for linearity,detection limit,precision and accuracy. Results The linearity was 10-1 000 ng/mL. The detection limit was 10 ng/mL. Within-run and between-run coefficients of variation (CV) were ≤4.2% and ≤8.9%,respectively. The accuracy was 88.7%-104.0%. Conclusions The performance of established LC-MS/MS meets evaluation standards,and the assay is accurate and precise for the determination of paclitaxel.
