“…[22,23,28,29] Recent LC-MS=MS and Rapid Resolution-MS=MS methods for LZ also have demerits, like higher LLOQ and longer run time (RT), complex processing, double extraction, binary solvents for extraction, and instability of the analyte of interest in the mobile phase. [12,18,26] Recently, Hishinuma et al reported estimation of LZ using lansoprazole-d4 as the IS by LC-MS=MS, which also has a longer run time of about 3.5 min. [25] Considering this, we developed a method with little sample volume, the shortest sample clean up procedure, the utilization of a simple liquid-liquid extraction using a single solvent, a new choice of IS, and the shortest run time.…”
