High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) grade acetonitrile and methanol were obtained from Panreac (Barcelona, Spain). Formic acid (88%) was obtained from J.T. Baker (New Jersey, USA), and ammonium formate (97%) was obtained from Spectrum Chemical (Gardena, EUA). Ultrapure water was produced using a purification system from Millipore Corporation, USA.
The metformin (99.7%), glibenclamide (99.0%), and glimepiride (99.4%) standards were purchased from United States Pharmacopoeia (Rockville, USA). Standards of chlorpropamide (99.9%), gliclazide (100.0%), and isoniazid (99.5%), which was used as the internal standard (IS), were obtained from Fiocruz/INCQS (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Standards of nateglinide (98.0%), pioglitazone (98.0%), rosiglitazone (98.0%), and sulfaquinoxaline (96.0%), which was used as the IS, were supplied by Sigma–Aldrich (St. Louis, USA). The vildagliptin (98.0%) standard was acquired from Ontario Chemicals (Ontario, Canada). The internal standards were selected based on their structural similarity to the analytes. The structure of each substance is shown inFig 1 .
Normal, hemolyzed, and lipemic blank plasmas were provided by the Center of Hematology of Paraná, Hemepar, Curitiba, Brazil. After centrifugation at 4,000 rpm at room temperature, the plasma was collected and stored at −40°C.
