DETERMINATION OF LOPERAMIDE IN HUMAN PLASMA BY UPLC-MS/MS Authors: Minimol M , M. VIJEY AANANDHI* AND P. SHANMUGASUNDARAM
ABSTRACT
Bioanalysis is the term utilized to depict the quantitative assessment of drugs / metabolite in
biological fluids. LC-MS combines the chromatographic separation and mass analysis
capabilities. Loperamide in human plasma were validated using UPLC-MS/MS technique.
Loperamide is the drug which is mainly used for the treatment of sudden diarrhea. Internal
standard used in this method is Fluconazole and 5 mM Ammonium acetate is used as buffer.
Acetone-M, Formic acid, and 5mM Ammonium acetate (80:20:01%v/v/v) is used as solvent.
ZORBAX Eclipse XDB-C8(100mm × 4.6mm, 3.5?m) column used. The bio-analytical method
SOP No.MTR-BA-M-452-00, Loperamide in K2EDTA human plasma in the concentration range
24.8560-5063.9260pg/ml was successfully developed and validated.
