A precise, sensitive and high throughput liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for determination of Aprepitant (APT) in human plasma was developed and validated using Quetiapine (QTP) as internal standard. The analyte and internal standard were extracted from human plasma using liquid-liquid extraction. Chromatographic separation was performed on Discovery C18 10 cm×4.6 mm, 5 μm column with an isocratic mobile phase composed of 5 mM Ammonium Acetate (pH 4.00):Acetonitrile (10:90), at a flow-rate of 0.9 ml/ min. The MS-MS detection was performed on a AB Sciex API 3200 tandem mass spectrometer operated in Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) at positive mode at m/z 535.10/277.10 and 384.00/253.10 for APT and QTP respectively. A linear dynamic range of 10.004-5001.952 ng/ml for APT was evaluated with mean correlation coefficient (r) of 0.9991. The precis.. View More»
