Abstract:

A simple, sensitive and reliable method have been developed for simultaneous quantification of Hydroxyzine and Cetirizine in human plasma by using on-line robotic HTLC�?¢�?�?�?�?MS/MS method. Quetiapine was used as an internal standard(IS). A typical twocolumn setup featuring two six-port switching valves was employed for method development and Turbo flow on-line technique was applied for separation of analyte from plasma sample. The analytical procedure involves on-line coupling of sample extraction with Cyclone P (50 mm �?�?�?�? 0.5 mm 50 �?�?�?¼m) HTLC column by injecting 15�?�?�?¼L sample and chromatographic separation is performed with Inertsil ODS-3(5 �?�?�?¼m ,4.6 x100 mm.). To achieve required chromatograms with consistency we have performed different combinations of the solvents and gradient system. Finally we succeeded with the solution combinations of 5mM Ammonium Acetate:Methanol: Acetonitrile (5:5:90) in pump A, Pure methanol in pump B, 0.1% formic acid in pump C and washing solution in the ratio of 70:25:5 (methanol:water:IPA) in pump D and analyzed more than 150 samples with out overloading of the chromatographic columns with improved real throughput efficiency. Detection was performed at transitions of m/z 375.300�?¢�?�?�?�?201.100 for Hydroxyzine, m/z 389.200�?¢�?�?�?�?201.100 for Cetirizine and m/z 384.200�?¢�?�?�?�?253.100 for Quetiapine by positive electro-spray ionization (ESI+) in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode using tandem mass spectrometry. The calibration curves were linear over a concentration range of 0.100 ng/mL to 150.000 ng/mL of Hydroxyzine and 0.500 ng/mL to 500.000 ng/mL of Cetirizine for quantification with the correlation coefficients demonstrating good linearity (0.994-0.999). The total run time of analysis was 5 min and the lower limits of Quantification were 0.100 ng/mL for Hydroxyzine and 0.500 ng/mL for Cetirizine, respectively. The method validation was carried out in terms of specificity, sensitivity, linearity, precision, accuracy and stability. The validated method was successfully applied in bioavailability and bioequivalence study.
