Abstract
A simple, specific and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method for the determination of risperidone and its active metabolite 9-hydroxyrisperidone in human plasma has been developed and validated. The analytes were prepared through a single-step liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) procedure with the solvent methyl tert-butyl ether and quantitated by MS detection in the positive mode using selected ion monitoring (SIM). Each analytical run was completed within 9 min. Results showed that the LC-MS method enabled to detection of both compounds down to 0.1 ng.mL−1 (S/N > 3) and the linear range was 0.2–24 ng.mL−1, with the correlation coefficients above 0.99. At the concentration of 0.2, 0.5, 10 and 20 ng.mL−1, the inter-day and intra-day RSD were both below 15%. The method has been successfully used to support the routine therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and the pharmacokinetics study of risperidone.
