Abstract: Objective To establish a LC-MS-MS method for determining febuxostate in human plasma. Methods Febuxostate added into blank plasma was sedimented by acetonitrile, and the supernatant was determined by LC-MS-MS. Analytical column was Thermo Biobasic-8, 5 μm, 50 mm×2.1 mm(ID). The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-10 mmol/L ammonium acetate (0.05% acid=70:30 at a flow rate of 0.2 ml/min. Mass spectrum conditions:ESI-was performed in the SRM mode using target ions m/z 315→271 (10 eV)(febuxostate), m/z 360→274 (18 eV)(bezafibrate), SP 3 500 kV, SGP 10 Arb, AGP45 Arb, TEM 270℃. Results The calibration curve was linear over the range of 10-8 000 μg/L. The LLOQ of Febuxostate in plasma was 10 μg/L.The extracted recovery was >85%.The intra-and inter-day RSD were <15%. Conclusion The method was sensitive, simple and accurate to determinate febuxostate plasma concentration and to study pharmacokinetics of febuxostate.
