Abstract
Pharmacokinetic studies and therapeutic drug monitoring of antibiotics require a simple, rapid, and reliable analytical method for monitoring the concentrations in plasma, including unbound concentrations for highly protein-bound drugs. The aim of the current work was to develop and validate a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the simultaneous determination of total and unbound concentrations of 3 widely used β-lactam antibiotics (cefalexin, cefazolin, and flucloxacillin) and the often coadministered drug probenecid in human plasma, suitable for pharmacokinetic studies and for routine use in ordinary, busy hospital laboratories. Unbound drug was separated from bound drug by ultrafiltration. A simple 1-step protein precipitation was used for sample preparation. Cefalexin, cefazolin, flucloxacillin, probenecid, and their corresponding isotopically labeled internal standards were then resolved on a C18 (2) column. All the compounds were detected using electrospray ionization in the positive mode. Standard curves were linear for all compounds over the concentration range of 0.2-100 mg/L (r > 0.99) for total drug in plasma and 0.01-10 mg/L (r > 0.99) for unbound drug in plasma ultrafiltrate. For both total an...Continue Reading
