A sensitive and selective liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometric method was developed for simultaneous determination of E- and Z-guggulsterone isomers (antihyperlipidemic drug) in rabbit plasma. Both the isomers were resolved on a Symmetry-Shield C(18) (5 µm, 4.6 × 150 mm) column, using gradient
