High-Speed Analysis of Itraconazole in Plasma Using Triple Quadrupole LC/MS/MS (LCMS-8050)

Introduction

Itraconazole is a triazole antifungal agent that is used widely for the treatment of infections by fungi including the genera Trichophyton, Aspergillus and Candida. This article introduces an example of high-speed analysis of itraconazole and its active metabolite hydroxy itraconazole in plasma using the LCMS-8050 high-sensitivity triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. Although a simple method of sample pretreatment was used that involves only deproteinization, the quantitative results obtained were excellent in terms of accuracy and precision.
