Several liquid chromatography methods for assay of antiretroviral drugs in human plasma have been described, but none included atazanavir. The authors describe a user-friendly, validated, and rapid technique, derived from a procedure the authors have already published, allowing simultaneous quantification of amprenavir, indinavir, lopinavir, nelfinavir (and its M8 metabolite), ritonavir, saquinavir, efavirenz, and nevirapine. Assays were performed after diethyl ether liquid-liquid extraction from 250 microL plasma samples. Chromatographic separation was achieved on an X-TERRA column using a 58% water (with 3 mM pyrrolidine) and 42% acetonitrile mobile phase; 240 nm ultraviolet wavelength was used for atazanavir detection. This method has been in routine use in our laboratory for antiretroviral drug monitoring and now allows quantitative assay of a novel HIV protease inhibitor, atazanavir, with satisfactory intra- and interassay precision (CV<12%).

Zalcitabine (ddC), lamivudine (3TC), didanosine (ddI), stavudine (d4T), carbovir (CBV), zidovudine (AZT), tenofovir (PMPA) and its administrated form (tenofovir diisoproxyl fumarate, TDF), are nucleosides currently approved in HIV therapy. To facilitate pharmacokinetics studies, a specific reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed for their analysis in rat plasma. The method involved a quantitative recovery of these drugs from rat plasma by solid-phase extraction on Oasis HLB Waters cartridges followed by optimised HPLC separation on an Atlantis dC18 column with acetic acid-hydroxylamine buffer (ionic strength 5mM, pH 7)-acetonitrile elution gradient. Quantitation was performed by HPLC/UV at 260 nm. Linear calibration curves were obtained within a 30-10,000 ng/mL plasma concentration range. Correlation coefficients (r2) greater than 0.992 were obtained by least-squares regression and limits of quantification were in 30-90 ng/mL concentration range. Quantitative parameters (accuracy, intra-day repeatability and inter-day reproducibility) yielded satisfactory results. Finally, a new buffer, obtained with acetic acid and hydroxylamine, has been tested in HPLC/ESI-MS/MS and appears to be an efficient volatile buffer in the medium 5-7 pH range. Indeed, at pH 7 and low ionic strength (5 mM), its buffer capacity is one hundred times higher to that obtained for the usual acetic acid/ammonia buffer.

We report the development of a simple, economical and reliable chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of six HIV protease inhibitors (PIs; amprenavir, indinavir, lopinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir and saquinavir), the active metabolite of nelfinavir (M8) and the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI; efavirenz) in human plasma. After extraction from plasma with an ethyl acetate-acetonitrile mixture, the analytes were separated on a phenyl column with a gradient of acetonitrile and phosphate solutions, and detected at three ultraviolet wavelengths. Calibration curves were linear over the range 0.025-15 microg/mL for saquinavir and 0.05-15 microg/mL for the other analytes. The accuracies ranged from -6.9% to +7.6%, and the intra-assay and inter-assay precisions were <9.2 and <11.8%, respectively. Our method, covering most of the PIs and NNRTIs currently used, facilitates ready therapeutic drug monitoring in hospital laboratories.

We developed a simple HPLC method for the simultaneous quantitative determination of seven HIV protease inhibitors: amprenavir (APV), atazanavir (ATV), indinavir (IDV), lopinavir (LPV), nelfinavir (NFV), ritonavir (RTV), saquinavir (SQV), and a nonnucleoside reverse transcription inhibitor, efavirenz (EFV). This method involves a rapid liquid-liquid drug extraction from plasma, the use of an isocratic elution on a reversed-phase C18 column, and an ultraviolet detection at a single wavelength (205 nm). The mobile phase consisted of 39% 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 5.9), 22% methanol and 39% acetonitrile. Forty-eight samples could be measured in one day since the runtime of one sample is 30 min. The assay has been validated over a concentration range of 0.05 to 12.20 microg/ml for APV, 0.09 to 12.05 microg/ml for ATV, 0.05 to 12.01 microg/ml for IDV, 0.12 to 12.36 microg/ml for LPV, 0.18 to 12.20 microg/ml for NFV, 0.12 to 12.33 microg/ml for RTV, 0.12 to 12.06 microg/ml for SQV, and 0.05 to 12.17 microg/ml for EFV. Calibration curves were linear in the described concentration ranges. The average accuracy ranged from 97.2 to 106.8%. Both the interday and intraday coefficients of variation for all drugs tested were less than 8.5%. This method provides a simple, accurate, and precise method for the therapeutic drug monitoring of the seven protease inhibitors and EFV in clinical routine use.

Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is pivotal to improve the management of HIV infection. Here, a HPLC-UV method has been developed to quantify simultaneously seven HIV protease inhibitors (amprenavir, atazanavir, indinavir, lopinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, and saquinavir; PIs), seven nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (abacavir, didanosine, emtricitabine, lamivudine, stavudine, zalcitabine, and zidovudine; NRTIs), and two non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (efavirenz and nevirapine; NNRTIs) in human plasma. The volume of the plasma sample was 600 microL. This method involved automated solid-phase extraction with Oasis HLB Cartridge 1 cc (divinylbenzene and N-vinylpyrrolidone) and evaporation in a water bath under nitrogen stream. The extracted samples were reconstituted with 100 microL methanol. Twenty microliters of these samples were injected into a HPLC-UV system, the analytes were eluted on an analytical C(18) Symmetry column (250 mm x 4.6mm I.D.) with a particle size of 5 microm. The mobile phase (0.01 M KH(2)PO(4) and acetonitrile) was delivered at 1.0 mL/min with linear gradient elution. The total run time for a single analysis was 35 min, the anti-HIV drugs were detected by UV at 240 and 260 nm. The calibration curves were linear up to 10 microg/mL. The absolute recovery ranged between 88 and 120%. The in vitro stability of anti-HIV drugs (0.005-10 microg/mL) in plasma has been studied at 24.0 degrees C. On these bases, a two to four analyte method has been tailored to the individual needs of the HIV-infected patient. The HPLC-UV method here reported has been validated and is currently applied to monitor PIs, NRTIs, and NNRTIs in plasma of HIV-infected patients. It allows to monitor the largest number of anti-HIV drugs simultaneously, appearing useful in a routine laboratory, and represents an essential step to elucidate the utility of a formal therapeutic drug monitoring for the optimal follow-up of HIV-infected patients.

The antiretroviral therapeutic drug monitoring is becoming increased in clinical care to determine the best dosage regimen adapted to each patient. Here, the determination of the anti-HIV drugs lamivudine, lopinavir, and ritonavir concentration in the plasma of HIV-infected patients by MALDI-TOF/TOF is reported. The volume of the plasma sample was 600 microL. Plasma samples were extracted by solid-phase (divinylbenzene and N-vinylpyrrolidone) and evaporated in a water bath under a nitrogen stream. The extracted samples were reconstituted with methanol (100 microL), mixed (1:1) with a saturated matrix solution (4-hydroxybenzoic acid in 50% acetonitrile-0.1% trifluoracetic acid), and spotted onto the MALDI-TOF/TOF sample target plate. The lamivudine, lopinavir and ritonavir concentration was determined by standard additions analysis. Regression of standard additions was linear over the anti-HIV drug concentration ranges explored (lamivudine, 0.010-1.0 pmol/microL; lopinavir and ritonavir, 0.0025-0.50 pmol/microL). Moreover, emtricitabine (i.e., the fluorinated analog of lamivudine) was used as the internal standard to determine the lamivudine concentration. The calibration curve was linear on the emtricitabine concentration ranging between 0.050 and 5.0 pmol/microL. The absolute recovery ranged between 80 and 110%. Values of the lamivudine, lopinavir and ritonavir concentration determined by MALDI-TOF/TOF are in excellent agreement with those obtained by HPLC-UV and HPLC-MS/MS. MALDI-TOF/TOF experiments allowed also the detection of the ritonavir metabolite R5. Zidovudine was undetectable by MALDI-TOF/TOF analysis because also the minimal laser intensity may induce the anti-HIV drug photolysis. The MALDI-TOF/TOF technique is useful to determine very low concentrations of anti-HIV drugs (0.0025-0.010 pmol/microL).

A method for the quantification of two peptide HIV-1 fusion inhibitors (enfuvirtide, T-20 and tifuvirtide, T-1249) and one metabolite of enfuvirtide (M-20) in human plasma has been developed and validated, using liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The analytes were extracted from plasma by solid-phase extraction (SPE) on vinyl-copolymer cartridges. Chromatographic separation of the peptides was performed on a Symmetry 300 C(18) column (50mmx2.1mm I.D., particle size 3.5 microm), using a water-acetonitrile gradient containing 0.25% (v/v) formic acid. The triple quadrupole mass spectrometer was operated in the positive ion-mode and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was used for peak detection. Deuterated (d60) enfuvirtide and (d50) tifuvirtide were used as internal standards. The assay was linear over a concentration range of 20-10,000 ng/ml for enfuvirtide and tifuvirtide and of 20-2000 ng/ml for M-20. Intra- and inter-assay precisions and deviations from the nominal concentrations were </=13%. Stability of the analytes was tested under all relevant conditions for sample handling. The method was capable to measure concentrations of enfuvirtide and its metabolite in plasma samples of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) infected patients treated with the drug.

We describe a simple, fast, isocratic, reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic method for simultaneous determination of plasma zidovudine and nevirapine with UV detection at 260 nm. The method involves liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate and using 3-isobutyl 1-methyl xanthine as internal standard. The system requires a C(18) column (150 mm x 4.6 mm I.D.) and a mobile phase composed of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (15 mM; pH 7.5) and acetonitrile in the ratio of 80:20 (v/v). The assay was linear from 0.025 to 10.0 microg/ml for zidovudine and 0.05 to 10.0 microg/ml for nevirapine. The intra- and inter-day variations were less than 10% for both the drugs. The method was specific and sensitive enough to allow quantification of zidovudine and nevirapine in concentrations observed clinically. The average recoveries of zidovudine and nevirapine from plasma were 95 and 94%, respectively. The method was applied to a pharmacokinetic study in HIV-infected patients who were receiving antiretroviral treatment with zidovudine and nevirapine containing regimens. The method spans the blood concentration range of clinical interest. Due to its simplicity, the assay can be used for pharmacokinetic studies and therapeutic drug monitoring in patients taking a combination treatment of zidovudine and nevirapine.

A simple method for the quantification of tipranavir, the first non-peptidic HIV protease inhibitor, was developed and validated. Quinoxaline, as internal standard, was added to 50 microl of plasma before a liquid-liquid extraction by 600 microl of protein precipitation solution. The extracts were diluted before being injected in the chromatographic system. Chromatographic separation was made on a C18 column using potassium phosphate buffer (pH 3.2) and acetonitrile with gradient. Detection was performed by an UV detector at 260 nm. Relative error at three control quality concentrations ranged from -1.81 to 1.72%. Intra-day (CV%) and inter-day (CV%) precision ranged from 0.94 to 2.55% and from 3.07 to 4.24%, respectively. LOQ and LOD were 0.090 microg/ml and 0.035 microg/ml, respectively. Mean recovery was 87.1%+/-2.4%. Calibration curve was linear up to 180 microg/ml. Concentration range when optimized (0.703-180 microg/ml) proved to be adequate to measure tipranavir concentration in HIV-1-positive patients, therefore this method could be suitable for therapeutic drug monitoring of this drug.

A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric assay for the determination of the antiretroviral nucleoside emtricitabine in human plasma was developed and validated using a simple sample pre-treatment procedure. After addition of 5'-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine as the internal standard and protein precipitation with acetonitrile, the supernatant was directly injected in the isocratic chromatographic system using a polar embedded reversed-phase column and formic acid in water-methanol as the eluent. The eluate was completely led into an electrospray interface with positive ionization and the analytes were quantified using triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. The assay was validated in the range 5-5000 ng/mL. Intra-day precisions were <or=7% and inter-day precisions were <or=10%. Accuracies between 92 and 99% were found. The analytes were chemically stable under all relevant conditions and the assay was applied in the analysis of plasma samples of HIV-infected patients treated with the drug.
