ABSTRACT
Invasive fungal infections are systemic mycoses that usually affect critically ill patients; their treatment is afforded by triazoles, whose Zharmacokinetic properties are still partially unclear.
In particular, isavuconazole (ISC) is a new broad-spectrum antifungal triazole approved in 2015 as first-line treatment for intravenous and oral use against invasive aspergillosis and for mucormycosis.
To date, the optimal management of the treatments with triazoles requires the use of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM), in order to prevent sub-therapeutic or toxic concentrations. TDM is a routinely used clinical practice that requires reliable quantification methods for benefit from it.
The aim of this work was the development and full validation of a HPLC-mass spectrometry assay for the simultaneous quantification of fluconazole, itraconazole, isavuconazole, posaconazole and voriconazole in human plasma samples, following the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and EMA (Europea ...
