Validation of an UHPLC–MS/MS Assay for the Quantification of Isoniazid and Four Major Metabolites in Human Plasma

Biomedical Chromatography, Volume 40, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Isoniazid (INH) is a key component of tuberculosis treatment regimens but is also associated with hepatotoxicity. This toxicity is mediated in part by its metabolites, but some degrade rapidly in plasma. A rapid freeze/thaw process with a methanol protein precipitation extraction was developed to slow the rapid degradation of acetylisoniazid ...
