Quantitation of paracetamol by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in human plasma in support of clinical trial

<strong>Background:</strong> Paracetamol is a well-tolerated antipyretic widely used in severe malaria management. The study aimed to develop and validate a rapid liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay to quantify paracetamol in plasma from patients with severe malaria....

description <strong>Background:</strong> Paracetamol is a well-tolerated antipyretic widely used in severe malaria management. The study aimed to develop and validate a rapid liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay to quantify paracetamol in plasma from patients with severe malaria. <strong>Results:</strong> Plasma samples were extracted with organic solvent and assayed in less than 5.5 minutes. The assay response was linear (0.125-50 mg/L) with total intra- and inter-assay imprecision of &lt;1.4%, which were considerably lower than most published reports. <strong>Conclusions:</strong> We developed, validated and applied a rapid, and small volume LC-MS/MS assay with high precision and accuracy for plasma paracetamol quantitation in 989 samples from 62 patients with severe malaria. The simple and high-throughput quality could facilitate assay automation for future clinical studies.
