- Abstract
A rapid, highly specific and sensitive UPLC-MS/MS method was developed for the determination of Quetiapine Fumarate, a therapeutic drug for various psychiatric disorders, in human plasma. The samples were pretreated using a protein precipitation method, followed by chromatographic separation using a column (Kinetex C18, 2.6 µm 50*2.1 mm) equipped with an ESI source and MRM mode mass spectrometer. In the validation results of the method, the analyte quetiapine showed a peak at approximately 1.0 minute and exhibited good linearity within the concentration from 2.5 to 2000ng/mL. The intra- and inter-batch precision CV% were within the range of -1.3% to 7.7% and precision of intra- and inter-batch were below 15.0%. Furthermore, this method demonstrated low matrix effects and high recovery rates. The quetiapine plasma sample solution remained stable at room temperature for 25 hours and following 4 freezethaw cycles. The prepared samples remained stable in the autosampler (The temperature control of the autosampler was 5oC) for 185 hours and after four freeze-thaw cycles at -20oC and -70oC for 40 days. The present work effectively employed this approach to investigate the pharmacokinetics of orally administered quetiapine fumarate tablets in a cohort of healthy Chinese individuals, both in a fasting state and after a meal.
