Development of a simple and rapid method to determine the unbound fraction of dolutegravir, raltegravir and darunavir in human plasma using ultrafiltration and LC-MS/MS

Dolutegravir, raltegravir and darunavir are three antiretroviral drugs widely used in combined antiretroviral therapies. These three drugs are highly bound to plasma proteins. Compared to the total concentration, the concentration of unbound drug which is considered as the only pharmacological active form should be more informative to improve therapeutic drug monitoring in patients to avoid virological failure or toxicity. The aim of the present study was to develop an ultrafiltration protocol and a LC-MS/MS method to simultaneously determine the concentrations of the unbound dolutegravir, raltegravir and darunavir in human plasma. Finally, 150 μL of plasma was ultrafiltrated using Centrifree® ultrafiltration devices with ultracel YM-T membrane (cutoff 30 KDa) during 5 min at 37 °C at 1500 g. Then, 20 μL of the ultrafiltrate were injected into the LC-MS/MS system. The chromatographic separation was carried out on a BEH C18 column using a mobile phase containing deionized water and acetonitrile, both with 0.05 % (v/v) of formic acid, with a gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The run time was only 4 min. The calibration curve ranged from 0.5-200 ng/mL for dolutegravir, 1 to 400 ng/mL for raltegravir and 10-4000 ng/mL for darunavir. This method was validated with a good precision (inter- and intra-day CV% lower than 14 %) and a good accuracy (inter- and intra-day bias between -5.6-8.8 %) for all the analytes. This method is simple, reliable and suitable for pharmacokinetic studies.
