摘要
Objectives: To develop an isotope dilution-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based candidate reference measurement procedure (RMP) for levetiracetam quantification in human serum and plasma. Methods: Quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (qNMR) was used to characterize the RMPmaterial to ensure traceability to SI units. To quantify levetiracetam, an LC-MS/MS method was optimized using a C8 column for chromatographic separation following protein-precipitation-based sample preparation. Spiked matrix samples of serum and plasma were used to test selectivity and specificity. Matrix effects were determined by performing a post-column infusion experiment and comparing standard line slopes. Precision and accuracy were evaluated over 5 days. Measurement uncertainty was evaluated according to the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM). Results: The RMP was proven to be highly selective and specific with no evidence of a matrix effect, allowing for quantification of levetiracetam within the range of 1.53-90.0 mu g/mL. Intermediate precision was <2.2% and repeatability was 1.1-1.7% across all concentrations. The relative mean bias ranged from -2.5% to -0.3% across all levels and matrices within the measuring range. Diluted samples were found with a mean bias ranging from -0.1 to 2.9%. The predefined acceptance criterion for measurement uncertainty was met and determined for individual measurements independently of the concentration level and sample type to be <= 4.0% (k=2). Conclusions: We present a novel LC-MS/MS)-based candidate RMP for levetiracetam in human serum and plasma. Its expanded measurement uncertainty of <= 4.0% meets the clinical needs in levetiracetam monitoring. Utilizing qNMR to characterize levetiracetam reference materials allowed metrological traceability to SI units.
