Abstract:
Objective To develop a method for simultaneous determination of irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide in human plasma by LC-MS/MS,and to evaluate bioequinalence of 2 kinds of irbesartan hydrochlorothiazide tablets in healthy volunteers.Methods Using losartan potassium as internal standard,the plasma samples were extracted with solid phase extraction (SPE).The Agilent Zorbax SB-C1s column (1.8 μm,4.6 mm × 50 mm) was used,the mobile phase consisted of methanol-acetonitrile-0.15% methanoic acid solution (40∶ 25∶35),flow rate was 0.3 mL · min-1 Electrospray ionization (ESI) source was applied and operated in negative multiple reactions monitoring (MRM) mode.In a randomized two-periods cross-over study,the bioequivalence of test preparation and reference preparation of irbesartan hydrochlorothiazide tablets in 22 healthy male volunteers after oral administration were investigated.Results The calibration curves were linear within the range of 20.0-4000.0 ng · mL-1 for irbesartan and 1.0-200.0 ng · mL-1 for hydrochlorothiazide in human plasma,the linear regression equation were y =9.28 × 10-2x-7.50 × 10-2 (r =0.999 2) for irbesartan and y =5.27 × 10-2x-2.99 × 10-2 (r =0.998 8) for hydrochlorothiazide,respectively.The relative standard deviation (RSD) of intra and inter precision were less than 15% for both irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide.The relative bioavailabilities of irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide of compound tablets were (107.4 ± 19.9) % and (105.6 ± 16.2) %,respectively.Conclusion The method is simple,fast and sensitive,and it is suitable for the plasma concentration determination and bioequinalence study of irbesartan hydrochlorothiazide tablets in healthy volunteers.Two preparations are bioequivalent.
