“…Finally, several reported studies adopted the isotopic LIN, 13 C 3 LIN, ,,− or deuterated LIN (LIN-d4), , as the internal standard, which are unavailable from authorized commercial suppliers, and their custom synthesis will add to the time and cost of goads of the bioanalytical technique. On a similar basis, limited numbers of LC/MS techniques are presented for quantifying PIO as a sole analyte or simultaneously with other oral hypoglycemic agents. − These existing methodologies suffer from several limitations, where again some of these techniques require large plasma volumes (0.25–1 mL), , require long run time, or are time nonefficient, tedious, and sophisticated for analytes extraction from biological matrices. − , …”
