A rapid and effective method using QuEChERS-based sample preparation procedure and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis has been developed and validated to determine progesterone in rabbit plasma. The analyte was extracted from plasma by acetonitrile with phase partitioning by a mixture of magnesium sulfate and sodium chloride. The supernatant was then directly injected into LC-MS/MS in a positive electrospray ionization mode and quantified using progesterone-d9 as the internal standard. The method linearity was in the range from 1 ng/mL (LOQ) to 200 ng/mL. Method recovery was from 86.0% to 103%, and repeatability was lower than 5.5%. The plasma sample was stable for 12 weeks stored at 18 ± 2°C. This method was applied to quantify progesterone in rabbit plasma in a pharmacokinetic study of two transdermal formulations: a reference drug and a eutectic-hydrogel system. The data indicate that the eutectic-hydrogel system’s bioavailability was 1.5 times better than that of the reference drug, and the transdermal system is a potential drug delivery system for progesterone.
