Voriconazole is an antifungal drug used to treat invasive aspergillosis. Voriconazole exhibits nonlinear behavior and considerable individual variability in its pharmacokinetic profile. Invasive aspergillosis has a poor prognosis, and failure of treatment owing to low voriconazole blood levels is undesirable. Thus, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of voriconazole is recommended. However, plasma voriconazole concentration is rarely measured in hospitals, and the TDM of voriconazole is not widely practiced in Japan. We aimed to develop an ultra-simple method to measure plasma voriconazole concentration. Ten microliters of plasma sample was extracted, and proteins were precipitated using methanol extraction. Voriconazole and ketoconazole (internal standard) were separated using high-performance liquid chromatography. A calibration curve was prepared, which was linear over plasma voriconazole concentrations of 0.125-12.5 µg/mL, with a coefficient of determination of 0.9999. The intra-day and inter-day validation coefficients were 0.9-2.2% and 1.3-6.1%, respectively. The assay accuracy was -4.2% to 1.6%, and recovery was >97.8%. Our ultra-simple, sensitive, and inexpensive high-performance liquid chromatography ultraviolet method to determine plasma voriconazole concentration will help improve the voriconazole TDM implementation rate and contribute to effective and safe voriconazole use.
