摘要
An LC/MS/MS assay for the determination of tenofovir (TNF) was developed and validated for use with the EDTA anticoagulated human plasma matrix. Heparin-treated plasma and serum matrices were also validated. After addition of adefovir as an internal standard, trifluoroacetic acid was used to produce a protein-free extract. Chromatographic separation was achieved with a Polar-RP Synergi, 2.0 mm x 150 mm, reversed-phase analytical column. The mobile phase was 3% acetonitrile/1% acetic acid, aq. Detection of TNF and the internal standard was achieved by ESI MS/MS in the positive ion mode using 288/176 and 274/162 transitions, respectively. The method was linear from 10 to 750 ng/ml with a minimum quantifiable limit of 10 ng/ml when 250 mu l aliquots were analyzed. The usefulness of this LC/MS/MS method to routinely monitor plasma concentrations of TNF was demonstrated alone with its ability to assist in the performance of pharmacokinetic studies.
