title: Determination of rosiglitazone and metformin in human serum by CE-ESI-MS.
abstract: A new method for the determination of anti-diabetic drugs metformin and rosiglitazone based on the use of capillary electrophoresis with electrospray mass spectrometry was developed. The proposed method allowed their separation within 11 min by using 50 mM formic acid at +20 kV. Positive electrospray ionization and selected ion monitoring [M+H](+) of metformin (m/z=130) and rosiglitazone (m/z=358) were performed. Several important experimental parameters influencing electrospray ionization of metformin and rosiglitazone were studied. The final composition of sheath liquid was water/methanol/formic acid (50:49.5:0.5, v/v/v), at a flow rate of 2 μL/min. The developed method was applied for the determination of metformin and rosiglitazone simultaneously in human serum after protein precipitation with acetonitrile. The limits of detection of developed method were 4.42 and 2.14 ng/mL for rosiglitazone and for metformin, respectively, which is sufficient for therapeutic serum concentration levels monitoring for both studied drugs.
