Quantification of Atorvastatin in Plasma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plasma samples were extracted employing a liquid-liquid extraction technique according to the procedure previously reported with minor modification (Liantonio et al., 2012) . Atorvastatin calcium (Sigma Aldrich) was used as standard and the internal standard was clofibric acid (Sigma-Aldrich). Mass spectrometric detection and quantification were carried out using an electrospray interface and a Q-TOF mass spectrometer (Agilent 6530 Accurate Mass Q-TOF LC/MS, Palo Alto, CA). Ionization was achieved in the negative ion mode. Full-scan mass spectra was recorded in the mass/charge (m/z) range of 50-800, focusing on [M-H] -peak 213.0340 (IS) and [M-H] -peak 557.2489 (Atorvastatin). To determine drug plasma concentration, calibration curves were constructed by plotting the ratios of analyte/IS peak vs. nominal concentration of the analyte and analyzed by linear regression analysis. The calibration curve were linear over the concentration range (5-300 ng/mL), with correlation coefficients (R 2 ) ≥0.9925. Details are given in the Supplementary Methods.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
1 H NMR measurements were carried out at 298 K using a Bruker AC-500 MHz. 1 H NMR titrations were carried out by adding increasing amounts of known concentrations of the pharmaceuticals (diclofenac, aspirin and clofibric acid, all from Aldrich) dissolved in CD3CN
(Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, 99.8%) to the NMR tube containing a known concentration of
the receptor in the same deuterated solvent. Chemical shift changes of the receptor after each addition of the drug were recorded. Subtracting the chemical shifts for the free receptor r from those of the complex, c, the chemical shift changes  were calculated from Eq.1

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
