UPLC-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method for Simultaneous Determination of Fluoxetine, Risperidone, and Its Active Metabolite 9-Hydroxyrisperidone in Plasma: Application to Pharmacokinetics Study in Rats

Risperidone (RIS) is used as an antipsychotic drug alone or with other drugs, like fluoxetine (FLX). A simple method was developed and validated for the determination of both RIS and its metabolite 9-hydroxyrisperidone (9-OH-RIS), FLX, and olanzapine (OLA) as an internal standard in rat’s plasma usi...

Description
Summary:Risperidone (RIS) is used as an antipsychotic drug alone or with other drugs, like fluoxetine (FLX). A simple method was developed and validated for the determination of both RIS and its metabolite 9-hydroxyrisperidone (9-OH-RIS), FLX, and olanzapine (OLA) as an internal standard in rat’s plasma using UPLC-MS/MS. FLX, RIS, 9-OH-RIS, and OLA were purified using acetonitrile as a protein precipitating agent. Separation was performed on an ACQUITY™ “UPLC BEH™” C18 column (50 mm × 2.1 mm i.d., 1.7 μm; Waters Corp., USA). The ranges of the calibration curves were 1.0–1000.0 ng/mL for FLX and 0.2–1000.0 ng/mL for RIS and 9-OH-RIS. Linearity, recovery, precision, and stability were within the acceptable range. This method is rapid, fast, and precise for the determination of RIS and FLX in plasma and is applicable in pharmacokinetic studies.
