Abstract
An analytical method for the determination of bisoprolol in human plasma has been developed based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The analyte and internal standard (IS) diphenhydramine were cleaned up by protein precipitation with acetonitrile, reconstituted in mobile phase and separated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using methanol:10 mm ammonium acetate:formic acid (70:30:0.1 v/v/v) as mobile phase. Detection was carried out by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) on an LC-MS/MS system and was completed within 2.5 min. The assay was linear over the range 0.5-100 ng/mL with a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 0.5 ng/mL. The intra- and inter-day precision levels were within 5.54 and 9.95%, respectively, while the accuracy was in the range 89.4-113%. This method has been utilized in a pharmacokinetic study, where healthy volunteers were treated with an oral dose of 5 mg bisoprolol.
