Abstract

In this study, authors developed a simple, sensitive and specific liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method for quantification of Amisulpride in human plasma using Amisulpride-d5 as an internal standard (IS). Chromatographic separation was performed on Zorbax Bonus-RP C18, 4.6 x 75 mm, 3.5 μm column with an isocratic mobile phase composed of 0.2% formic acid:methanol (35:65 v/v), at a flow-rate of 0.5 mL/min. Amisulpride, Amisulpride-d5 was detected at m/z 370.1→242.1 and 375.1→242.1. The drug and the IS were extracted by a liquid-liquid extraction method. The method was validated over a linear concentration range of 2.0–2500.0 ng/mL for Amisulpride with a correlation coefficient of (r2) ≥ 0.9982. This method demonstrated intra- and inter-day precision within 0.9 to 1.7 and 1.5 to 2.8 % and intra- and inter-day accuracy within 98.3 to 101.5 and 96.0 to 101.0 % for Amisulpride. Amisulpride was found to be stable at 3 freeze–thaw cycles, bench top and auto sampler stability studies. The developed method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study.
