A rapid and highly sensitive LC-MS=MS method was developed and validated for the determination of allopurinol (AP) and its major metabolite, oxypurinol (OP) in human plasma using lamivudine as an internal standard (IS). The analytes were extracted from human plasma by protein precipitation using acetonitrile. The chromatographic separation was employed on ''waters symmetry shield RP 8 , 150 mm  3.9 mm, 5 lm'' columns using a mixture of 0.01% formic acid in water and acetonitrile in the ratio of 95:05 (v=v) as the mobile phase. Mass spectrometer in the selected reaction-monitoring mode with negative electro spray was used for the detection and quantification of the analyte. Recovery study was performed showing the accuracy at upper and lower limits of quantification. The stability study was also carried out. The described method was found to be linear over a range of 0.01-10 lg mL À1 with a lower limit of quantification of 0.01 lg mL À1 for both AP and OP. The coefficient of variation for the assay precision was found <6.94, and the accuracy was found >96.03. The extraction recoveries for AP and OP were found to be in between 70 and 80%, the accuracy was found to be in between 95 and 106% in human plasma. The dilution integrity test, hemolysis and anticoagulant effect, and matrix effect studies were reported.
A simple, precise, specific, and accurate reverse phase HPLC method has been developed for the determination of pregabalin in capsule dosage form. The chromatography was set on Hypersil BDS, C8, 150×4.6 mm, 5 μm column using photodiode array detector. The mobile phase consisting of phosphate buffer pH 6.9 and acetonitrile in the ratio of 95:05 with flow rate of 1 ml/min. The method was validated according to ICH guidelines with respect to specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision and robustness. Lower limit of quantification is 0.6 mg/l. The pregabalin sample solution was found to be stable at room temperature for about 26 h.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
