title: A sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the quantification of mometasone furoate in human plasma.
abstract: A robust, rapid, selective and sensitive liquid chromatography-negative atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (LC-(APCI(-))-MS-MS) method has been developed for the quantification of mometasone furoate (MF) in human plasma utilizing a solid-phase extraction clean-up step and 13C-fluticasone propionate as internal standard. The intra- and inter-day coefficients of variation were < or = 15% and the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 15 pg/ml. This method is ideally suited for pharmacokinetic investigations of low MF levels following inhalation of MF.
