The immunosuppressant drug tacrolimus (FK506), which exhibits 50–100 times the potency of cyclosporin A, is proving to be highly effective in preventing rejection in solid-organ transplantation (1). However, because of a narrow therapeutic range, variable pharmacokinetics, and potential drug interactions, continual therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of tacrolimus is essential (2). Recently, we published a report that detailed the development of a specific, sensitive method for quantification of tacrolimus concentrations in blood (3). This methodology, which utilizes HPLC in combination with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS2), was found to have greater specificity, lower detection limits, and a more rapid turnaround time than existing immunoassays. These attributes make this methodology ideal for TDM of tacrolimus.
Since our initial report, several modifications that have further improved the assay for TDM have been implemented. The use of a 100 × 2 mm C8 column (rather than a 30 × 2 mm C4 column), combined with …
