Zusammenfassung:•This is the first described quantification method for the simultaneous determination of cefuroxime and flucloxacillin in synovial tissue and bone using UPC2-MS/MS.•Two of the commonly administered antimicrobial agents during the one-stage or two-stage arthroplasty exchange are researched in this analysis.•A fast and simple sample preparation is applied.•The method has already successfully been applied in a clinical study, to relate target-site concentrations to serum concentrations, which ultimately can lead to more precision dosing. After a revision surgery, approximately 1–2 % of patients will develop a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). During the revision surgery, the infected prosthesis is removed, a debridement is performed and a new or temporary spacer is placed. Additionally, patients are treated with antibiotics during and after the surgery. Adequate exposure of the administered antibiotic to the pathogen is of crucial importance during the treatment of any infection. Inadequately low concentrations are associated with an increase in antibiotic resistance, antibiotic related side effects, treatment failures and prolonged infections. While high concentrations may lead to serious adverse events and potential lasting damage. Despite the importance of optimal dosing, there is a lack of knowledge with respect to the correlation between the plasma concentrations and target site concentrations of the antibiotics. Two of the commonly administered antimicrobial agents during the arthroplasty exchange are cefuroxime and flucloxacillin. Therefore, an accurate, specific, and sensitive quantification method is required in order to assess pharmacokinetics of cefuroxime and flucloxacillin in synovial tissue and bone. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a quantification method for the measurement of cefuroxime and flucloxacillin in human synovial tissue and bone using the UPC2-MS/MS conform Food and Drug Administration guidelines. The method was found linear for both compounds in both matrices (r2 > 0.990) from 1 µg/g to 20 µg/g, except for cefuroxime in bone, which was validated from 1 µg/g to 15 µg/g. We developed and validated a quantification method for cefuroxime and flucloxacillin in synovial tissue and bone using a simple sample preparation and a short analysis run time of 5.0 min, which has been already successfully applied in a clinical study. To our knowledge, no methods have been described earlier for the simultaneous quantification of
