Quantification of antiretroviral drugs in dried blood spot samples by means of liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry

Abstract: For the first time approved antiretroviral drugs, i.e. protease inhibitors (PI) and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI), were quantified in dried blood spots (DBS) from HIV/ AIDS patient whole blood samples as the basis for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) by a robust simultaneous liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method. This study included seven PI (amprenavir, nelfinavir, indinavir, lopinavir, saquinavir, ritonavir, atazanavir) and two NNRTI (nevirapine, efavir… Show more

“…The blood sample can also be applied with a calibrated pipette onto the sampling paper/card, thus avoiding potential variability in blood samples due to hematocrit eff ect, blood volume infl uence, possible uneven distribution of blood on the card/paper and other sampling errors (Alfazil and Anderson, 2008;Burhenne et al, 2008;Garcia Boy, 2008;Koal et al, 2005). The pipette tip should be a few millimeters above the card/paper.…”

“…In general, a minimum of 2-3 h drying in an open space at room temperature (15-22°C) is recommended (Edelbroek et al, 2009;Mei et al, 2001). However, the drying time depends on the type of paper/card and the blood volume applied (Hoogtanders et al, 2007;Koal et al, 2005;Spooner et al, 2009). The samples should not be heated, stacked or allowed to touch other surfaces, and should be kept away from direct sunlight or daylight if needed (Burhenne et al, 2008).…”

“…Several analytical methods have been published for the analysis of EFV in plasma, either alone or in combination with other drugs, using HPLC-UV [14][15][16][17] and LC-MS/MS [18][19][20][21][22][23] techniques. Determination of EFV levels in human hair [7] and reports of determining nevirapine [8,10] and indinavir [24] from saliva have been published, but this study is the first validated LC-MS/MS method for the assay of EFV in saliva to be reported.…”
