Abstract

A method has been developed for the measurement of zatebradine (UL-FS 49), a heart-rate lowering drug, suitable for the treatment of stable angina pectoris. The method comprises a fully automated liquid-solid extraction using a Zymark Benchmate, a capillary gas chromatography and ammonia chemical ionisation (CI) mass spectrometry using hexadeuterated zatebradine for the internal standard. The assay has a mean between-batch imprecision of 4.9% and a mean inaccuracy of 1.5%. The calibration curve covers the range of 1-30 ng/ml. About 60 samples can be handled per day. The assay has been successfully applied to human pharmacokinetic studies.
