Abstract: | SUMMARY: The authors report the development and validation of a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry assay (LC/MS/MS assay) for the analysis of topiramate (2,3:4,5-bis-o-(-1-methyl)-beta-D-fructopyranose sulfamate) in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Comparison is made with the commercially available fluorescence-polarization immunoassay (FPIA). LC/MS/MS ASSAY: Using the internal standard, 1,2:3,4-bis-o-(1-methylethylidene-alpha-D-galactopyranose sulfamate), a structural isomer, the calibration curve in plasma was linear in the concentration range of 0.02-20.0 mg/L (r(2) = 0.9998). The coefficients of variation in plasma were < or = 3%, and the accuracy ranged from 100% to 101% in the therapeutically relevant concentration range of 0.4-16.0 mg/L. In CSF, the mean recovery was 98%, and there was linearity between the nominal and the estimated concentration in the range of 1.5-20.0 mg/L (r(2)= 0.9996). FPIA: The calibration curve was linear in the concentration interval of 1.6-24.3 mg/L (r(2) = 0.9994), and the mean recovery was 96%. Accuracy in plasma was 99- 104%, and precision was 3.2-6.0%. In CSF, there was linearity between the nominal concentration and the estimated concentration in the range of 1.5-20.0 mg/L (r(2) = 0.9995), and the mean recovery was 100%. COMPARISON BETWEEN FPIA AND LC/MS/MS: There was a high correlation between the FPIA and the LC/MS/MS assay (r(2) = 0.9965 in plasma and r(2) = 0.9996 in CSF, P < 0.001 for both). In plasma and CSF, the two methods showed equal results, evaluated as the ratio between the two methods (plasma: median ratio = 1.00; 95% confidence interval CI], 0.98-1.02, paired-sample test, P = 0.79; and CSF: median ratio = 1.00, 95% CI, 0.99-1.02, paired-sample test, P = 0.75). The coefficient of variation on the ratios between the two methods had similar levels: 5% in plasma and 3% in CSF. CONCLUSION: The new LC/MS/MS assay has favorable characteristics, being highly precise and accurate. FPIA also proved precise and accurate, and there was a high agreement with the LC/MS/MS assay in plasma and CSF. Either method displayed sufficient precision and accuracy and may thus be implemented in daily routine. |
