Abstract
Aims: This study aims to address the clinical need for managing secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on dialysis and hypercalcemia in individuals with parathyroid carcinoma or primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) ineligible for parathyroidectomy. Cinacalcet, a key calcimimetic agent, targets the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) in the parathyroid gland to lower elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. The study focuses on developing a robust high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for cinacalcet quantification to support therapeutic monitoring and pharmacokinetics.
Methods: A bioanalytical method using cinacalcet-D3 (CCT-D3) as an internal standard and tandem mass spectrometry in positive ion mode for accurate quantification employing Triple Quad Mass spectrometer in normal mode and a Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C18 column.
Results: The method was comprehensively validated, demonstrating reliability through high precision, accuracy, linearity within the range of 0.300-150.00 ng/mL, and stability, all in compliance with established bioanalytical guidelines. Furthermore, its environmental sustainability was assessed using modern green chemistry evaluation metrics.
Conclusion: This study presents a robust, selective LC-MS/MS assay for quantifying cinacalcet in human plasma. The assay demonstrates excellent linearity, precision, and recovery, making it suitable for pharmacokinetic studies, therapeutic drug monitoring, and bioequivalence or bioavailability assessments.

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.
