Abstract

A reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography method with electrospray ionization and detection by mass spectrometry is described for the simultaneous determination of doxifluridine and its active metabolite 5-flu-orouracil (5-FU) in monkey serum. The method has greater sensitivity and simpler process than previous published methods with good accuracy and precision. A proper liquid/liquid extraction was used to extract simultaneously doxifluridine and 5-FU which has considerable difference in the polarity. Extracts were analyzed using LC/MS/MS providing a short analysis time within 5 min. The lower limit of quantification was validated at 10.0 ng/ml of serum for both doxifluridine and 5-FU. Accuracy and precision of quality control (QC) samples for both analytes met FDA Guidance criteria of ±15% for average QC accuracy with coefficients of variation less than 15%. The method will be applicable for preclinical studies and bioequivalence studies.
