Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Currently there is no data about a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay including ganciclovir and acyclovir using stable-isotopically labeled internal standards.
METHODS: LC-MS/MS assay for measurement of ganciclovir and acyclovir using deuterated standards: ganciclovir-[2H5] and acyclovir-[2H4] was developed. The selectivity and sensitivity, linearity, accuracy and precision, recovery, matrix effect, stability, total process efficiency, carry-over and dilution integrity were validated based on EMA and FDA guidelines.
RESULTS: The retention time for ganciclovir was 1.1 min and for acyclovir 1.35 min. Calibration curves were linear over a range of 0.1 to 20 mg/L and the correlation coefficient (R2) was 0.99912 for ganciclovir and 0.99945 for acyclovir. The calculated accuracy was –2.0% to 3.1% for ganciclovir and –1.0% to 6.4% for acyclovir. Within-day precision ranged from 1.8% to 6.6% for ganciclovir and 1.6 % to 6.5% for acyclovir and between-day precision 0% to 9.6% for ganciclovir and 0% to 7.9% for acyclovir.
CONCLUSIONS: A rapid and validated LC-MS/MS method was developed for measurement of ganciclovir and acyclovir in human serum which can be used in routine patient care and clinical research.
