Simultaneous LC-MS/MS Quantification of Ledipasvir, Sofosbuvir, and GS-331007 in Human Plasma
A highly sensitive and rapid LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for simultaneous measurement of Ledipasvir, Sofosbuvir, and its major metabolite GS-331007 in human plasma using Daclatasvir as internal standard. Samples were extracted via liquid-liquid extraction and separated on an Xterra MS C8 column using gradient elution. Detection was performed with an API4000 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer in positive electrospray ionization mode. The method, validated according to FDA bioanalytical guidelines, showed excellent linearity, precision, and accuracy, and enabled pharmacokinetic and bioequivalence studies in healthy volunteers with a total run time under 5 minutes.
