ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Enalapril (EPL) is an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor for the treatment of hypertension and chronic heart failure. Enalaprilat (EPLT) is an active metabolite that contributes to the overall activity of EPL.

AIM:

To quantitate EPL along with its metabolite EPLT using LC-MS/MS, a bioanalytical method was developed and validated with tolbutamide in human plasma using a protein precipitation technique.

RESULTS:

The sensitive and selective method has an LLOQ of 1 ng/ml with a linearity range of 1-500 ng/ml for both EPL and EPLT using 300 µl of plasma without any matrix effect.

CONCLUSION:

Linearity, specificity, accuracy, precision and stability, as well as its application to the analysis of plasma samples after oral administration of 20 mg of EPL maleate in healthy volunteers demonstrate applicability to bioavailability/bioequivalence studies.
