ABSTRACT

A highly sensitive and selective on-line two-dimensional reversed-phase liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (2D-LC-ESI/MS/MS) method was developed and validated to determine rifaximin in rat serum by direct injection. The 2D-LC-ESI/MS/MS system consisted of a restricted access media column for trapping proteins as the first dimension and a Waters C(18 )column as second dimension using 0.1% aqueous acetic acid:acetonitrile as mobile phase in a gradient elution mode. Rifampacin was used as an internal standard. The linear dynamic range was 0.5-10 ng/mL (r(2) > 0.998). Acceptable precision and accuracy were obtained over the calibration range. The assay was successfully used in analysis of rat serum to support pharmacokinetic studies.
