HIV protease inhibitors are important antiretroviral drugs which have substantially reduced the morbidity and mortality associated with HIV-1 infection. Recent data have shown relationships between plasma concentrations of the protease inhibitors and clinical response, which makes therapeutic drug monitoring valuable. We have developed and validated an assay, using liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), for the routine quantification of the six licensed protease inhibitors (amprenavir, indinavir, lopinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir and saquinavir) and the pharmacologically active nelfinavir metabolite M8 in plasma.The sample pretreatment consisted of protein precipitation with a mixture of methanol and acetronitrile using only 100 mul of plasma. Chromatographic separation was performed on an Inertsil ODS3 column (50 x 2.0 nun i.d., particle size 5 mum), with a quick stepwise gradient using an acetate buffer (pH 5) and methanol, at a flow rate of 0.5 ml min(-1). The analytical run time was 5.5 min. The use of a 96-well plate autosampler allowed batch sizes up to 150 patient samples. The triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer was operated in the positive ion mode and multiple reaction monitoring was used for drug quantification. The method was validated over the concentration ranges 0.01-10 mug ml(-1) for indinavir and saquinavir, 0.1-10 mug ml(-1) for amprenavir, 0.05-10 mug ml(-1) for nelfinavir and ritonavir, 0.1-20 mug ml(-1) for lopinavir and 0.01-5 mug ml(-1) for M8. Saquinavir-d(5) and indinavir-d(6) were used as internal standards. The coefficients of variation were always
