Risperidone: Liquid Chromatographic Analysis

Better Essays

EC used also in used in quantification analysis of risperidone [20-21].However, it is used in pharmacokinetic studies is restricted due to long time for stabilizing the detector, interference of endogenous compound as well as the limitation of mobile phase. Methods using Mass spectrometry detector combined with Liquid chromatography(LC–MS and LC–MS-MS) have been developed. Among the currently available bioanalytical techniques, ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) has gained a considerable attention in recent years and has been shine out as the most favorite analytical tool for pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis because of its high speed, lower consumption of solvent and time, better resolution and better sensitivity.
The present study was carried out for the development and validation of an UPLC method coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) for the determination of risperidone and its active metabolite 9-hydroxyrisperidoine in small volumes of plasma. The method consists of simple chromatographic condition with one step sample preparation process having enough sensitive, high-throughput method and was successfully applied for the pharmacokinetic study of risperidone in rats.
Material and Methods

Standard stock solutions RIS, 9-OH-RIS and OLA (IS) were prepared using …show more content…

Protein precipitation can be helpful in producing a clean sample and avoiding endogenous substances in plasma with the analytes and IS onto the column and MS system. Clean samples are essential for minimizing ion suppression and matrix effect in UPLC-MS/MS analysis. 2 organic solvents: methanol and acetonitrile were evaluated. Finally acetonitrile was found to be optimal, which can yield the highest recovery and produce a clean chromatogram for a blank plasma sample and for the analytes from plasma.
