A protein precipitation, liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of valganciclovir and its active metabolite ganciclovir in human plasma. The solvent system also served as a protein precipitation reagent. The chromatographic separation was achieved on an Aquasil C18 column (50mm x 2.1 mm, 5 mu m). A linear gradient mobile phase between 0.02% formic acid and methanol was used. Detection was by positive ion electrospray tandem mass spectrometry on a Sciex API3000. The standard curves, which ranged from 4 to 512 ng/mL for valganciclovir and from 0.1 to 12.8 mu g/mL for ganciclovir, were fitted to a 1/x weighted quadratic regression model. The method was proved to be accurate, specific and sensitive enough and was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
