Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method (liquid + chromatography_tandem_mass_spectrometry_method)
Selected AbstractsLiquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for determination of bisoprolol in human plasma using d5-bisoprolol as the internal standardBIOMEDICAL CHROMATOGRAPHY, Issue 6 2010Gang-yi Liu Abstract A simple, reliable and sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) protocol was developed and validated for quantification of bisoprolol in human plasma. The sample was pretreated with a simple procedure of protein precipitation and an isotope-labeled d5-bisoprolol was used as internal standard. The chromatographic separation was performed on a Capcell Pak C18 MG III column (100,mm × 2.0,mm, 5,µm). The protonated ion of the analyte was detected in positive ionization by multiple reaction monitoring mode. The mass transition pairs of m/z 326.3 , 116.3 and m/z 331.3 , 121.3 were used to detect bisoprolol and the internal standard, respectively. Linearity, accuracy, precision, recovery, matrix effect, dilution test and stability were evaluated during method validation over the range of 0.5,100,ng/mL. The validated method was successfully applied to analyze human plasma samples in a bisoprolol bioavailability study. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] A direct injection high-throughput liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for the determination of a new orally active ,v,3 antagonist in human urine and dialysateRAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY, Issue 22 2003Wei Zeng A generic high-throughput liquid chromatography (HTLC) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) assay for the determination of compound I in human urine and dialysate (hemodialysis) was developed and validated. By using the HTLC on-line extraction technique, sample pretreatment was not necessary. The sample was directly injected onto a narrow bore large particle size extraction column (50,×,1.0,mm, 60,,m) where the sample matrix was rapidly washed away using a high flow rate (5,mL/min) aqueous mobile phase while analytes were retained. The analytes were subsequently eluted from the extraction column onto an analytical column using an organic-enriched mobile phase prior to mass spectrometric detection. The analytes were then eluted from the analytical column to the mass spectrometer for the determination. The linear dynamic range was 2.0,6000,ng/mL for the urine assay and 0.1,300,ng/mL for the dialysate assay. Intraday accuracy and precision were evaluated by analyzing five replicates of calibration standards at all concentrations used to construct the standard curve. For the urine assay, the precision (RSD%, n,=,5) ranged from 1.9 to 8.0% and the accuracy ranged from 87.8 to 105.2% of nominal value. For the dialysate assay, the precision (RSD%, n,=,5) ranged from 1.1 to 10.0% and the accuracy from 94.5 to 105.2% of nominal value. In-source fragmentation of the acyl glucuronide metabolite (compound III) did not interfere with the determination of parent compound I. The developed HTLC/MS/MS methodology was specific for compound I in the presence of compound III. Column life-time is increased and sample analysis time is decreased over traditional reversed-phase methods when direct injection assays for urine and dialysate are coupled with the technology of HTLC.

[source] Determination of fenofibric acid in human plasma by ultra performance liquid chromatography,electrospray ionization mass spectrometry: application to a bioequivalence studyBIOMEDICAL CHROMATOGRAPHY, Issue 9 2009Dasandi Bhavesh Abstract A rapid, specific and sensitive ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method was developed for the determination of fenofibric acid in human plasma. The method involves simple, one-step liquid,liquid extraction procedure coupled with an Acquity UPLCTM BEH C18 column (50 × 2.1 mm, i.d., 1.7 µm) with isocratic elution at a flow-rate of 0.2 mL/min and mefenamic acid was used as the internal standard. The Quattro Premier XE mass spectrometry was operated under the multiple reaction-monitoring mode using the electrospray ionization technique. Using 250 µL plasma, the methods were validated over the concentration rang 0.05,7.129 µg/mL, with a lower limit of quantification of 0.05 µg/mL. The intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy were within 9.3%. The recovery was 66.7% and 52.6% for fenofibric acid, and mefenamic acid, respectively. Total run time was 1.8 min only for each sample, which makes it possible to analyze more than 350 samples per day. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for the quantification of sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, in human plasma using liquid,liquid extractionBIOMEDICAL CHROMATOGRAPHY, Issue 2 2008Ramakrishna Nirogi Abstract A sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography,positive ion electrospray tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated for the quantification of sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, in human plasma. Following liquid,liquid extraction, the analytes were separated using an isocratic mobile phase on a reverse-phase column and analyzed by MS/MS in the multiple reaction monitoring mode using the respective [M + H]+ ions, m/z 408,235 for sitagliptin and m/z 310,148 for the internal standard. The assay exhibited a linear dynamic range of 0.1,250 ng/mL for sitagliptin in human plasma. The lower limit of quantification was 0.1 ng/mL with a relative standard deviation of less than 6%. Acceptable precision and accuracy were obtained for concentrations over the standard curve range. A run time of 2.0 min for each sample made it possible to analyze more than 300 human plasma samples per day. The validated method has been successfully used to analyze human plasma samples for application in pharmacokinetic studies. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] In-house validation of a liquid chromatography/electrospray tandem mass spectrometry method for confirmation of chloramphenicol residues in muscle according to Decision 2002/657/ECRAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY, Issue 22 2005Floriana Vinci In this work we present an in-house validation study for the confirmatory analysis of chloramphenicol (CAP) in muscle according to the Commission Decision 2002/657/EC requirements. CAP is extracted in acetonitrile and after liquid-liquid partitioning with n -hexane is identified and quantitatively determined by ion trap liquid chromatography/electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS) analysis in the negative ion mode. CAP was identified using the precursor ion and at least two product ions, meeting the qualitative and quantitative criteria set by the European Commission in the Decision 2002/657/EC for confirmation of prohibited veterinary drug residues. We calculated mean drug recoveries, CC, and CC, of the method, and reported data on specificity, ruggedness and within-laboratory reproducibility. Finally, we point out and discuss some problems and questions arising from controversy about the application of Decision 2002/657/EC. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Simultaneous determination of t,t -muconic, S -phenylmercapturic and S -benzylmercapturic acids in urine by a rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography/electrospray tandem mass spectrometry methodRAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY, Issue 17 2004Anna Barbieri We describe a rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI-MS/MS) method for simultaneous determination of the most relevant metabolites of benzene and toluene, t,t- muconic acid (t,t -MA), S -phenylmercapturic acid (S-PMA), and S -benzylmercapturic acid (S-BMA). Urine samples were purified before analysis by solid-phase microextraction (SPE) on SAX cartridges with 50,mg sorbent mass. The developed method fulfils all the standard requirements of precision and accuracy. Calibration curves were linear within the concentration range of the standards (0,80,,g/Lurine for t,t -MA, and 0,25,,g/Lurine for S-PMA and S-BMA), and had correlation coefficients ,0.997. Limits of detection were 6.0,,g/L for t,t -MA, 0.3,,g/L for S-PMA, and 0.4,,g/L for S-BMA. The method was used to determine t,t -MA, S-PMA and S-BMA levels in urine of 31 gasoline-station workers, with personal monitoring data obtained from radial symmetry passive diffusive samplers. In the context of mean work-shift exposures of 75.9,,g/m3 (range 9.4,220.2) for benzene and 331.9,,g/m3 (78.2,932.1) for toluene, metabolite concentrations in end-of-shift urine samples ranged from 23.5,275.3,,g/gcreatinine for t,t -MA, non-detectable to 0.9,,g/gcreatinine for S-PMA, and 3.8,74.8,,g/gcreatinine for S-BMA. No significant correlation was found between the environmental concentrations and urinary metabolites (p,>,0.05 for all cases); the ratios of benzene metabolites could be influenced by exposure levels and co-exposure to xylenes and toluene. The high throughput of this procedure should facilitate exploration of the metabolic effects of benzene-related co-exposure to toluene and alkylbenzenes in large populations of subjects exposed to gasoline.
