OBJECTIVE: To develop a method for concentration determination of voriconazole in human plasma and apply it in the clinic. METHODS: UPLC-MS/MS method was adopted. Using ketoconazole as internal standard, the determination was performed on Shim-pack VP-ODS column with mobile phase consisted of water (containing 1‰ formic acid and 2 mmol/L ammonium acetate)-acetonitrile (gradient elution) at flow rate of 0.3 ml/min and column temperature of 40 ℃.The electrospray ion source, positive ionizing pattern and multiple reaction monitoring were used; the mass transition ion-pairs of voriconazole and internal standard were m/z 351.2→282.2 and m/z 532.1→490.2. RESULTS: The linear range of voriconazole were 1-10 000 ng/ml (r=0.999 5, n=5), and the limit of quantitation was 1 ng/ml; RSDs of inter-day and intra-day were all lower than 10%; method recovery was higher than 90% (RSD<8%), and extraction recovery was higher than 70% (RSD<8%). The plasma concentrations of voriconazole in 10 patients with invasive fungal infection determined by this method were 507.33-7 011.24 ng/ml, and those of 3 patients were outside the recommended treatment concentration range. CONCLUSIONS: The established method is fast, accurate and sensitive, and can be applied for the therapeutic drug monitoring of voriconazole.
