J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2023; 1228:123827. [PMID: 37490838 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2023.123827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/27/2023]
Abstract
A simple and sensitive LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous quantification of the second-generation antidepressant sertraline, and its active metabolite, N-desmethylsertraline, in human plasma was developed and validated. The analytes were extracted from 200 µL human plasma using a simple protein precipitation method. A gradient elution mode of water and 0.1% formic acid and acetonitrile was used for chromatographic separation on a Poroshell EC-C18 column (3 × 100 mm, 2.7 µm) at a flow rate of 0.450 mL/min. MS/MS analysis was performed in positive ionization mode using the transitions of m/z 306.1 → 159.1, 309.1 → 275.2, 292.1 → 159.1, and 296.2 → 279.0 for sertraline, sertraline-d3, N-desmethylsertraline, and N-desmethylsertraline-d4, respectively. The calibration curves for sertraline and N-desmethylsertraline in human plasma ranged from 2.50-320 ng/mL and 10.0-1280 ng/mL, respectively, with correlation coefficients (r) of ≥ 0.9992. The intra- and inter-assay precisions for both analytes at four concentrations (LLOQ, QCL, QCM, and QCH) ranged between 2.2% and 12.2%, respectively, while their accuracies ranged between 92.0 and 111.7%, with the exception of LLOQ, which ranged between 84.3 and 106.0%. The mean percentage recovery and process efficiency at three concentrations (QCL, QCM, and QCH) was 94.2 and 87.9% for sertraline, and 95.7 and 95.2% for N-desmethylsertraline, respectively. Both analytes were stable in plasma at room temperature for 2 h, at -80 °C for 28 days and through three freeze/thaw cycles. This method was successfully applied to a clinical study investigating the use of sertraline during pregnancy.

Abstract
The present study focused on the forced degradation behavior of sertraline hydrochloride (SRT), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). The drug was exposed to different stressed conditions (hydrolytic, oxidative, thermal and photolytic) according to ICH Q1A (R2) guidelines. The study revealed that SRT was stable in hydrolytic (acidic, basic and neutral) and thermal degradation conditions. In contrast, five degradation products (DPs) were formed under oxidative and photolytic degradation conditions. The chromatographic separation of drug substance and its DPs was achieved on an Acquity HSS T3 column (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μ) using 0.1% formic acid and acetonitrile as the mobile phase in gradient mode using a UHPLC-DAD system. The DPs were identified and characterized by high-resolution LC/MS and LC/MS/MS in ESI positive mode. Two DPs (DP-I and DP-II) were formed when SRT was exposed to oxidative degradation conditions. Three DPs formed (DP III-V) when exposed to photolytic degradation conditions. All the five major DPs were isolated using Preparative HPLC. The structures of major DPs formed were further confirmed using NMR technique (1D and 2D). The proposed mechanism for the formation of the SRT DPs via the photolytic/oxidative stress degradation pathway are discussed and outlined.

Abstract
The trend for the concomitant prescription of antidepressants and antipsychotics is increasing. This calls for a veracious screening and quantifying method for forensic and clinical use. In this study, a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination and quantification of 38 antidepressants, antipsychotics and relevant metabolites in small volumes (200 μL) of human whole blood. Analytes and deuterated internal standards were extracted using liquid-liquid extraction. The separation, determination and quantification of the analytes were performed using an LC-MS-MS system equipped with an ACQUITY UPLC® BEH Phenyl Column under a positive electrospray ionization mode. After validation, the analytical procedure was proved to be highly sensitive, with a limit of detection ranging from 0.0005 to 1 ng/mL and a lower limit of quantification ranging from 0.002 to 2 ng/mL. Bias and within- and between-run precision were within 14.7% for all analytes. Recoveries were reproducible and those of 35 analytes were >50%. Dilution integrity was evaluated to ensure that the therapeutic and toxic blood concentration ranges of target compounds were fully covered. Finally, this method was applied to authentic whole blood samples collected from two forensic cases, which demonstrated its practical usefulness of providing accurate and comprehensive information concerning the previous medication of the deceased.

Abstract
Sertraline pharmacokinetics is poorly understood and highly variable due to large between-subject variability with inconsistent reports for oral bioavailability. The study objective was to characterize sertraline pharmacokinetics by developing and validating a sertraline population pharmacokinetic (PK) model in healthy subjects using published clinical PK data. We carried a systematic literature search in PubMed in October 2015 and identified 27 pharmacokinetic studies of sertraline conducted in healthy adult subjects and reported in the English language. Sixty mean plasma concentration-time profiles made of 748 plasma concentrations following IV, single, and multiple oral doses ranging from 5 to 400 mg were extracted and analyzed for dose proportionality by a log-linear model and fitted to a 2-compartment pharmacokinetic model in NONMEM using a model-based meta-analysis (MBMA) approach. After a single oral dose, sertraline Cmax and AUC∞ increased with dose proportionally between 50 and 200 mg, and bioavailability increased nonlinearly with dose from 5 to 50 mg and plateaued afterwards while Tmax and t1/2 did not change with dose. Following multiple oral doses, Cmax and AUC∞ increased proportionally with dose across the entire dose range (5-200 mg) while bioavailability, Tmax, and t1/2 remained constant with dose. Sertraline absorption was time-dependent and best described by a sigmoidal Emax function of time after dose. Study findings indicate that sertraline PK is linear in healthy adult subjects at doses ≥ 50 mg, and exposures were nonlinear only after single oral doses < 50 mg likely due to reduced bioavailability.

Abstract
Clinical laboratory medicine has seen the introduction and evolution of liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry in routine clinical laboratories over the last 10–15 years. There still exists a wide diversity of assays from very esoteric and highly specialist manual assays to more simplified kit-based assays. The technology is not static as manufacturers are continually making improvements. Mass spectrometry is now commonly used in several areas of diagnostics including therapeutic drug monitoring, toxicology, endocrinology, paediatrics and microbiology. Some of the most high throughput analyses or common analytes include vitamin D, immunosuppressant monitoring, androgen measurement and newborn screening. It also offers flexibility for the measurement of analytes in a variety of different matrices which would prove difficult with immunoassays. Unlike immunoassays or high-pressure liquid chromatography assays using ultraviolet or fluorescence detection, mass spectrometry offers better specificity and reduced interferences if attention is paid to potential isobaric compounds. Furthermore, multiplexing, which enables multiple analytes to be measured with the same volume of serum is advantageous, and the requirement for large sample volumes is decreasing as instrument sensitivity increases. There are many emerging applications in the literature. Using mass spectrometry to identify novel isoforms or modified peptides is possible as is quantification of proteins and peptides, with or without protein digests. Future developments by the manufacturers may also include mechanisms to improve the throughput of samples and strategies to decrease the level of skill required by the operators.

Abstract
Spectrofluorometric analysis for the quantification of new-generation antidepressant drugs belong to the class of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors is described. Five different drugs, sertraline, paroxetine, citalopram, venlafaxine, and fluoxetine, were analysed for spectrofluorometric detection in pharmaceutical formulations and urine and plasma samples. The calibration curves were found linear between fluorescence intensity and drugs concentration in the range of 5–500 ng/L with coefficients of determination above 0.9985 for all the analytes. The method recoveries were higher than 85% in all the three matrices. The intra- and interday variation coefficients were observed less than 8% and 13%, respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were found in the range of 0.016–0.084 ng/L and 0.090–0.285 ng/L, respectively. Additionally, the results were compared statistically for each analyte in all the three matrices and were found equivalent, which signifies the absence of matrix effect. Thus, the method will be applied successfully to the determination of the cited drugs in pure or dosage forms as well as in biological fluids with good accuracy and precision.
