BACKGROUND
Ornidazole is a 5-nitroimidazole antimicrobial agent used for almost 40 years. A novel LC-MS/MS assay was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of ornidazole and its main metabolites (M3, M6, M16-1, and M16-2) in human plasma.
RESULTS
After extraction from 100 μl of plasma by protein precipitation with acetonitrile, all the analytes were separated on a Capcell PAK MG C18 column (100 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) within 5.0 min and detected by ESI-MS/MS in the positive mode. The validation results met the acceptance criteria as per the US FDA and EMA guidelines.
CONCLUSION
The validated method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study after oral administration of 1000 mg ornidazole to six healthy Chinese volunteers.
