A rapid, simple, and robust LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the quantitation of colistin and colistin methanesulfonate (CMS) in human plasma. The method also prevented overestimation of colistin concentration by establishing the stability of CMS under sample preparation conditions, including blood and plasma storage conditions. Polymyxin B1 was used as an internal standard, and positive-ion electrospray ionization in multiple reaction monitoring mode was used for quantification. Chromatographic separation was achieved using a Zorbax eclipse C18 column (3.5 µm, 2.1 mm i.d. × 100 mm), with a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min, 5 µL injection volume, and gradient elution with a mixture of acetonitrile-water (containing 0.1 % trifluoroacetic acid). The method had a quantifiable range of 0.043-8.61 and 0.057-11.39 µg/mL for colistin A and B in human plasma, respectively, under a total runtime of 6.0 min. Further, it demonstrated appropriate extraction efficiency, no significant interference from co-eluting endogenous compounds, and satisfactory intraday and interday precision and accuracy. The proposed procedure for sample preparation successfully addressed the issue of CMS instability, consequently diminishing the probability of overestimating the concentration of colistin. Therefore, this simple and robust LC-MS/MS method for CMS and colistin quantification in human plasma is a valuable tool for clinicians to accurately monitor colistin treatment in patients with infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria.
