Abstract

High Performance Liquid Chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric method for the estimation of Lornoxicam in human plasma has been developed and validated using Piroxicam as internal standard. Sample preparation process was accomplished by protein precipitation technique. The processed sample was chromatographed and analyzed on Hypurity advance, 50×4.6mm, 5 μm column using mobile phase [0.3% formic acid in water and 0.3% formic acid in Acetonitrile (50:50% v/v)] and diluent as 50% methanol in water. Lornoxicam were chromatographed and analyzed by MS Detector. The analytical method described is valid the determination of Lornoxicam (over a range of 21.51 ng/ml to 1276.61 ng/ml) using Piroxicam as internal standard in human plasma. Signal from the detector were captured in a computer and processed using Mass Hunter software.
