Abstract
Aims: This study aimed to establish a robust LC-MS/MS method for quantifying trazodone in human plasma and investigate its pharmacokinetic profile in healthy Chinese subjects under fasting and fed conditions.
Materials & methods: A validated LC-MS/MS method using protein precipitation was applied to analyze trazodone in 68 healthy subjects (34 fasting/34 fed), with full method validation performed.
Results: This method exhibited high selectivity, precision, and accuracy. The results showed good linearity in the range of 5-3000 ng/mL and matrix effect results showed no matrix interference. The pharmacokinetic data revealed notable differences between the fasting and postprandial states.
Conclusions: The validated LC-MS/MS method proved reliable for trazodone quantification. The observed food effects on absorption suggest clinical dosing should consider administration conditions to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes.

期刊介绍:
Reliable data obtained from selective, sensitive and reproducible analysis of xenobiotics and biotics in biological samples is a fundamental and crucial part of every successful drug development program. The same principles can also apply to many other areas of research such as forensic science, toxicology and sports doping testing.
The bioanalytical field incorporates sophisticated techniques linking sample preparation and advanced separations with MS and NMR detection systems, automation and robotics. Standards set by regulatory bodies regarding method development and validation increasingly define the boundaries between speed and quality.
Bioanalysis is a progressive discipline for which the future holds many exciting opportunities to further reduce sample volumes, analysis cost and environmental impact, as well as to improve sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, efficiency, assay throughput, data quality, data handling and processing.
The journal Bioanalysis focuses on the techniques and methods used for the detection or quantitative study of analytes in human or animal biological samples. Bioanalysis encourages the submission of articles describing forward-looking applications, including biosensors, microfluidics, miniaturized analytical devices, and new hyphenated and multi-dimensional techniques.
Bioanalysis delivers essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats. Key advances in the field are reported and analyzed by international experts, providing an authoritative but accessible forum for the modern bioanalyst.
