TLDR The method effectively showed that the two exemestane preparations are bioequivalent.
The study developed a high-performance liquid chromatographic mass spectrometric method to determine exemestane levels in human plasma and assess the bioequivalence of two preparations. Using a lichrospher C18 chromatographic column and a Finnigan TSQ tandem mass spectrometer, the method demonstrated a linear standard curve for exemestane detection. The pharmacokinetic parameters for the test and reference preparations were similar, with half-lives of approximately 13.37 hours and 15.65 hours, respectively, and maximum concentrations around 20 μg·L-1. The study concluded that the method was simple, sensitive, and suitable for clinical pharmacokinetics or bioequivalence studies, confirming that the two preparations were bioequivalent.
