OBJECTIVE To establish a HPLC-MS method for the determination of pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of roxithromycin in human body.METHODS Clarithromycin was used as internal standard.After adding clarithromycin,the plasma samples were extracted with ether and determined by HPLC-MS.The separation was carried out on a Hanbang ODS column(4.6 mm×150 mm,packed with 5 μm C18 silica RP particle) at 35 ℃.The mobile phase consisted of methanol-0.01 mol·L-1 ammonium acetate(75∶25),at a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1.HPLC-MS was performed with the selected ion monitoring(SIM) mode using target ions at m/z 837.4 for roxithromycin and m/z 748.5 for clarithromycin.A randomized crossover design was performed in 20 healthy volunteers.In the two study periods,a single dose of 150 mg was administered to each volunteer.RESULTS The linear calibration curve was obtained in the range of 0.1~15 mg·L-1(r=0.999 9).The detection limit of roxithromycin in plasma was 0.01 mg·L-1.The average recovery was more than 80%.The parameters(ρmax) of roxithromycin in blood for the test and reference formulations were(6.45±2.58) and(5.94±1.61) mg·L-1,at(2.7±0.8) and(2.9±0.9) h,respectively.Parameters of t1/2 were(11.40±2.07) and(11.16±2.05) h,respectively.The relative bioavailability of the test formulation was(102.6±17.4)%.CONCLUSION The assay is proved to be sensitive,accurate and convenient.The two formulations are bioequivalent.
