| Abstract | A multiple reaction monitoring liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous determination of five antiretroviral drugs i.e. emtricitabine, tenofovir, efavirenz, lopinavir and ritonavir using commercially sterilized human blood plasma as the matrix and a THF/water solvent system was developed for therapeutic drug monitoring purposes and partially validated using the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) guidelines. The analytical performance characteristics that were examined were limits of detection (LODs), lower limits of quantification (LLOQs), upper limits of quantification (ULOQs), selectivity, percent mean recoveries, precision measured as percent relative standard deviations and accuracy. Optimized LC-MS/MS parameters were employed for this purpose. The percent mean recoveries were between 77.3 and 90.1% using solid phase extraction (SPE) for sample preparation. These recoveries were obtained at three spike levels i.e. the LOD, the LLOQ and the ULOQ. The precision of the SPE technique was within an acceptable range of <15% i.e. between 2.7 and 9.2% at the LLOQ. Accuracy was calculated as the percent deviation of the mean value from the true value and the values ranged between 9.9 and 22.7%. The SPE technique satisfied all the requirements of the US FDA guidelines except for efavirenz whose accuracy was slightly higher than recommended at the LLOQ i.e. 22.7% as opposed to 20%. The limits of detection using SPE also fell below the clinically relevant therapeutic range (3–8 mg L−1) for most of the drugs and therefore the method could be useful for therapeutic drug monitoring in HIV patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
