Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is necessary in the clinical management of linezolid to improve its efficacy and reduce the risk of time- and dose-dependent toxicity. A novel and ultrahigh-throughput analytical method for the determination of linezolid in human plasma was developed based on direct analysis in real-time tandem mass spectrometry (DART-MS/MS) without chromatographic separation. After solid-phase extraction with Waters Oasis HLB, the linezolid and internal standard linezolid-d₃ were detected by positive ion electrospray ionization followed by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) of the transition at m/z 338.1 → 296.2 and 341.2 → 297.3, respectively. The use of DART-MS obviates the need for chromatographic separation and allowed determination of linezolid in a total run time of only 24 s per sample. The method was linear in the concentration range 0.20–25 μg mL⁻¹ with intraday and interday precision <14.5% and accuracy ranging from −3.85% to 12.7%. The method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of linezolid in healthy male volunteers after oral administration of a 600 mg tablet. DART-MS/MS provides a rapid and sensitive method for the determination of linezolid that does not require chromatographic separation. It is eminently suitable to meet the high-throughput challenge of clinical TDM. Graphical abstract
