Abstract
β-Lactam/β-lactamase inhibitors (BL/BLIs) are widely used in critically ill patients. Recent research has shown the importance of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of BLs, but few studies have highlighted the importance of detecting BLIs in critically ill patients. In our laboratory, we have developed and validated a simple and robust method for the determination of ceftazidime, cefoperazone, piperacillin, avibactam, sulbactam and tazobactam in human plasma by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Sample preparation was by protein precipitation of 100 µL of sample, followed by chromatographic separation on an ACQUITY UPLC® BEH C18 column (2.1 × 50 mm, 1.7 µm) and mass spectrometric detection using a SHIMADZU 8050CL in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The method was fully validated for selectivity, carry-over, linearity, lower limit of quantification, matrix effect, extraction recovery, stability and dilution integrity. The results of the TDM could provide feedback to clinicians and allow timely adjustment of dosing regimens in critically ill patients. The method is suitable for routine TDM and has been successfully applied to the clinical determination of 81 plasma concentrations in 44 patients.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chromatography B publishes papers on developments in separation science relevant to biology and biomedical research including both fundamental advances and applications. Analytical techniques which may be considered include the various facets of chromatography, electrophoresis and related methods, affinity and immunoaffinity-based methodologies, hyphenated and other multi-dimensional techniques, and microanalytical approaches. The journal also considers articles reporting developments in sample preparation, detection techniques including mass spectrometry, and data handling and analysis.
Developments related to preparative separations for the isolation and purification of components of biological systems may be published, including chromatographic and electrophoretic methods, affinity separations, field flow fractionation and other preparative approaches.
Applications to the analysis of biological systems and samples will be considered when the analytical science contains a significant element of novelty, e.g. a new approach to the separation of a compound, novel combination of analytical techniques, or significantly improved analytical performance.
