Valproic acid VA is drug of anticonvulsant which used to treat all types of epilepsy and be developed as an adjuvant therapy for bipolar disorder Valproic acid VA has a narrow of therapeutic window index that need therapeutic drug monitoring with dried blood spot method which is simple easy and accurate This aim of this research is to develop an optimum and validated method valproic acid in whole blood as Dried Blood Spot method using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography tandem Mass Spectrometry UPLC MS MS Quality control and calibration samples were obtained by pipetting 20 L onto CAMAG DBS Paper and left to dry at room temperature for 1 h before processing Using a 5 mm punch cutter Disc were transferred to microtube and 200 L extraction solution asetonitril metanol 1 3 containing benzoic acid as internal standard 1000 g mL was added Chromatographic separation was achieved by Waters AcquityTM UPLC C18 1 7 m 2 1 x 100 mm with mobile phase consist of 0 1 acetic acid acetonitrile 40 60 under isocratic elution and flow rate was 0 4 mL min Mass detection was performed on Waters Xevo TQD equipped with an electrospray ionization ESI source at negative ion mode in the multiple reaction monitoring MRM mode Valproic acid VA was detected at m z 142 95 142 95 benzoic acid at m z 121 11 77 1 This method was linear in range concentration of 0 5 ndash 100 g mL with r 0 9991 This method also fulfill the acceptance of accuracy and precision within and between run in three days by diff and coefficient of variation CV not more than 15 and not more than 20 for LLOQ concentration The DBS Card samples is stable at least for 16 days at room temperature Validation method was applied in one healthy subject was obtained Cmax 88 15 g mL with Tmax 1 5 h Overall this method fulfill the acceptance criteria of validation based on EMEA Guideline 2011.
