Simultaneous determination of itraconazole and its CYP3A4-mediated metabolites including N-desalkyl itraconazole in human plasma using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and its clinical application

Abstract Background Itraconazole (ITZ), a triazole antifungal agent, is metabolized to hydroxy-ITZ (OH-ITZ), keto-ITZ (KT-ITZ), and N-desalkyl ITZ (ND-ITZ) by cytochrome P450 3A4. The pharmacokinetics of ND-ITZ remain largely unknown due to the lack of an accurate and reliable determination method....
