Two robust, fast and sensitive methods for quantification of sulfamethoxazole (SMX), trimethoprim (TMP) and sulfadiazine (SDZ) in plasma using high performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was developed and validated. The methods involved liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate using metoprolol and sulfamethoxazole as internal standards (PI). The chromatographic separations were performed using Genesis C18 column 100 x 2.1 mm, 4 microns (sulfadiazine) and Genesis C18 150 x 4.6 mm, 4 microns (SMX+TMP), with elution systems consisting of solutions of methanol/water (35/65, v/v) + 0.5% Formic Acid (sulfadiazine) and methanol/water (45/55, v/v) + 0.5% Formic Acid (SMX+TMP). Calibration curves were linear in the range from 0.05 to 25 mg/mL (sulfadiazine); 0.5 to 100 mg/mL (SMX) and 0.02 to 3.5 mg/mL (TMP). The recoveries corresponding to the analysis of quality controls were 66.8, 59 and 63.4% for sulfadiazine; 67.7, 63.3 and 74.4% for SMX; 74.5, 70.5 and 78.1% for TMP. The recovery values relating to internal standards sulfamethoxazole and metoprolol were 66.2% and 76.8% respectively. The validated bioanalytical methods included evaluation of precision and accuracy being the results within the required limits. The methods were successfully applied in studies of comparative bioavailability of formulations containing a combination of sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (suspension containing 40mg of SMX and TMP 8mg per milliliter) and formulations containing sulfadiazine (tablets 500 mg) in healthy volunteers of both sexes.
