ABSTRACT: Aim
A rapid UPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of tamoxifen (TAM), N-desmethyltamoxifen, 4-hydroxytamoxifen and endoxifen in human plasma was validated, after a simple protein precipitation.Materials and methods
The analysis was achieved on a C18 analytical column, using a gradient elution with a mobile phase of water and acetonitrile for 4.5 min.Results
The validated method demonstrated good linearity between 1 and 500 ng/ml for TAM and N-desmethyltamoxifen; between 0.2 and 100 ng/ml for endoxifen and between 0.1 and 50 ng/ml for 4-hydroxytamoxifen. The method also provided satisfactory results in terms of within day and between day imprecisions and accuracy, and also in terms of time stability and specificity.Conclusion
The method is applied routinely for TAM monitoring from patients undergoing therapy.
