A highly sensitive and rapid method for the analysis of isradipine in human plasma using
liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) was developed.
The procedure involves a simple liquid–liquid extraction of isradipine and amlodipine (IS,
internal standard) with methyl-t-butyl ether after alkaline treatment and separation by RP-
HPLC. Detection was performed by positive ion electrospray ionization (ESI) in multiple
reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, monitoring the transitions m/z 372.1→ m/z 312.2 and m/z …
