Quantification of valproic acid and its metabolite 2-propyl-4-pentenoic acid in human plasma using HPLC-MS/MS

Add time:08/01/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

A specific and sensitive HPLC-MS/MS method for the quantitative determination of valproic acid (VPA) and its metabolite, 2-propyl-4-pentenoic acid in human plasma has been developed, using VPA-d15 as the internal standard. The method was based on pre-column derivatization using 4-dimethylaminobenzylamine dihydrochloride. The derivatives were separated with a gradient elution and quantified by positive electrospray ionization with multiple reaction monitoring. The assay provides routine quantification limits of 200 ng/mL for VPA and 20 ng/mL for 4-ene VPA with within- and between-day coefficients of variation of <10%. This method has been applied to the analysis of plasma samples obtained from patients treated with this drug.
