Simultaneous Determination of Everolimus, Sirolimus, Tacrolimus, and Cyclosporine-A by Mass Spectrometry.

Abstract:

:Measurement of immunosuppressive drug concentrations cyclosporine A (CyA), tacrolimus (TAC), sirolimus (SIR), and everolimus (EVE) in blood is an important application of therapeutic drug monitoring. These immunosuppressive agents are used in combined regimens and nowadays the liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry is the best option for simultaneous analysis of these drugs in one short run. We developed an liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry methodology in-house to measure the combination of immunosuppressants in a single blood sample from transplant patients in Brazil. We analyzed 235 combinations of 4 immunosuppressive drugs in patient blood to validate this study. The measuring ranges were 9 to 1000 ng/mL for CyA and 2 to 50 ng/mL for TAC, SIR, and EVE. Accuracy of the method was between 83.87% and 126.6% (coefficient of determination [r2] > 0.995). Validation of variation was ≤15% for lower limit of quantification. In our analysis 20% of patients treated with EVE showed concentration range of 6 to 6.9 ng/mL, 28% of patients treated with SIR showed a concentration range of 4 to 4.9 ng/mL to TAC, 22% of patients showed concentration range of 5 to 5.9 ng/mL, and finally 50% of patients treated with CyA showed concentration range of 20 to 30 ng/mL. Our routine laboratory was able to implement this new methodology in-house to measure simultaneous CyA, TAC, SIR, and EVE in a single blood sample from transplant patients with a sensibility and rapid quantification analysis.
