A UHPLC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the determination of zonisamide in DPS and DBS samples, showing its suitability for clinical application.
In this research, a UHPLC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the determination of zonisamide in dried plasma spots (DPS) and dried blood spots (DBS). Detection of zonisamide and internal standard, 1-(2,3-dichlorphenyl)piperazine, was carried out in ESI+ mode by monitoring two MRM transitions per analyte. Total run time, less than 2.5 min, was achieved using Acquity UPLC BEH Amide (2.1 x 100 mm, 1.7 mu m particle size) column with mobile phase comprising acetonitrile-water (85:15%, v/v) with 0.075% formic acid. The flow rate was 0.225 mL/min, the column temperature was 30 degrees C and the injection volume was 3 mu L. Desolvation temperature, desolvation gas flow rate, ion source temperature and cone gas flow rate were set by the IntelliStart software tool in combination with tuning. All of the Guthrie cards were scanned, and DPS/DBS areas were determined by the image processing tool. The influence of hematocrit values (20-60%) on accuracy and precision was evaluated to determine the range within which method for DBSs is free from Hct or dependency is within acceptable limits. The validated method was applied to the determination of zonisamide levels in DPS and DBS samples obtained from patients confirming its suitability for clinical application. Finally, the distribution of zonisamide into the red blood cells was estimated by correlating its DPS and DBS levels.
