ABSTRACT
A rapid method for the quantification of amiodarone and desethylamiodarone in animal plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography combined with UV detection (HPLC-UV) is presented. The sample preparation includes a simple deproteinisation step with acetonitrile. In addition, a sensitive method for the quantification of amiodarone and desethylamiodarone in horse plasma and urine using high-performance liquid chromatography combined with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) is described. The sample preparation includes a solid-phase extraction (SPE) with a SCX column. Tamoxifen is used as an internal standard for both chromatographic methods. Chromatographic separation is achieved on an ODS Hypersil column using isocratic elution with 0.01% diethylamine and acetonitrile as mobile phase for the HPLC-UV method and with 0.1% formic acid and acetonitrile as mobile phase for the LC-MS/MS method. For the HPLC-UV method, good linearity was observed in the range 0-5 microg ml(-1), and in the range 0-1 microg ml(-1) for the LC-MS/MS method. The limit of quantification (LOQ) was set at 50 and 5 ng ml(-1) for the HPLC-UV method and the LC-MS/MS method, respectively. For the UV method, the limit of detection (LOD) was 15 and 10 ng ml(-1) for amiodarone and desethylamiodarone, respectively. The LODs of the LC-MS/MS method in plasma were much lower, i.e. 0.10 and 0.04 ng ml(-1) for amiodarone and desethylamiodarone, respectively. The LODs obtained for the urine samples were 0.16 and 0.09 ng ml(-1) for amiodarone and desethylamiodarone, respectively. The methods were shown to be of use in horses. The rapid HPLC-UV method was used for therapeutic drug monitoring after amiodarone treatment, while the LC-MS/MS method showed its applicability for single dose pharmacokinetic studies.
