An LCMS/MS method for the simultaneous determination of ten antimicrobials and its application in critically ill patients
Significant pharmacokinetic variation occurs in critically ill patients, leading to underexposure to antibiotics and poor prognosis. In this study, we developed a simple, sensitive, and fast liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC MS/MS) platform for the simultaneous quantification of 8 antibacterial and 2 antifungal drugs, which is optimally suited for clinically efficient, real-time therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mass spectrometry was used in this method, and samples were prepared via protein precipitation with methanol. Chromatographic separation was accomplished on a BGIU Column-U02 (2.1ｘ50 mm, 3 µm), with six stable isotopes and one analog as an internal standard. The overall turnaround time of the assay was 5 minutes. All the drugs tested (piperacillin, cefoperazone, meropenem, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, daptomycin, linezolid, vancomycin, fluconazole and voriconazole) were linear in the test concentration range (r ≥ 0.9900), the accuracy was 95 %-111 %, the precision variation coefficient was greater than or equal to 10 %, the lower limit of quantitation was 0.31–7.51 mg/L, and the coefficient of variation of the matrix factor was less than 10 %. The recovery rates ranged from 85 % to 115 %, and the antibiotics were stable at 4°C and −20°C for 6 days, with an offset of greater than or equal to 15 %. This method was successfully applied to routine TDM in 252 elderly critically ill patients.
