A bioanalytical method for the determination of most commonly prescribed protease inhibitors (saquinavir, atazanavir, amprenavir, darunavir, lopinavir and ritonavir) and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (etravirine, efavirenz and nevirapine) was developed, modifying our previous HPLC-MS chromatographic run, validated and a complete short and long term stability evaluation was carried out. One hundred microlitres of plasma were distributed on a collection glass paper filter (Glass-Microfibre from Sartorius), then the filter underwent thermal treatment, both for drying and for HIV inactivation, and stored at room temperature, 4 degrees C and -20 degrees C. The analytes were extracted from the filter disc using tert-butylmethylether with basic pH, after the addition of the internal standards quinoxaline. The extract was dried, reconstituted and the chromatographic separation was performed on a reversed-phase C-18 column (150 mm x 2.0 mm) and the analytes were quantified using a single quadrupole mass spectrometer. The method was validated considering the concentration ranges encountered in clinical trials and the routine clinical practice. The assay was linear over the concentration ranges tested. Accuracies ranged from 92.1% to 111.9% and intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviation for all quality control levels ranged from 0.2 to 12.9 and 3.1 to 14.4, respectively. Analytes in dried plasma spots were stable for longer time when dried/inactivation step was carried out before storage compared to samples not dried/inactivated before the analysis. The dried/inactivation step allows shipment of samples at room temperature without any risks, therefore the developed and validated method enables an easy and cheap sample shipment for therapeutic drug monitoring and pharmacokinetic studies.
