For each analysis,...A highly sensitive ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method was developed for the quantification of vancomycin (VAN) in low volumes of rabbit serum. For each analysis, 2 μL rabbit serum was precipitated with methanol that contained the internal standard teicoplanin (TEI). The supernatant was transferred into a 384 well-plate, diluted with water, covered with a pierceable silicone mat and 5 μL was analyzed in positive ionization mode. The UHPLC-MS/MS consisted of an Agilent 1290 Infinity UHPLC system connected to an AB Sciex QTrap®5500 hybrid linear ion-trap triple quadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with a Turbo Spray source. Chromatographic separation was achieved using a Waters Acquity UPLC BEH C18 (1.7 μm, 2.1 mm × 100 mm) column, a VanGuard (1.7 μm, 2.1 × 5 mm) guard column and a mobile phase of water and methanol both containing 5 mM ammonium acetate with 0.1% formic acid. VAN was quantified with multiple reaction monitoring using the transitions of m/z 725.5/144.2, and TEI was monitored at m/z 940.6/316.4. The accuracy, precision, linearity, range and lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) were determined. The accuracy was ≤9.93% and the precision was ≤10.6%. The range was established as 0.1 to 40 μg·mL-1. The LLOQ was 0.1 μg·mL-1 VAN requiring 2 μL of sample with an accuracy of -20.2% and precision of 8.39%. The method was applied successfully to determine the VAN concentrations in rabbit serum after the i.v. administration of VAN via implanted ear catheters.展开更多

The method used buprenorphine-d4 (BP-D4), nor-buprenorphine-d3 (NBP-D3), naltrexone (NTX) as internal standards (ISs). 100 μL of plasma sample fortified with the ISs was cleaned up by solid-phase extraction (SPE), and was then separated on a Waters AcquityTM BEH C18 column with gradient elution using methanol and water (containing 0.2% formic) at a flow rate of 0.25 mL·min^-1. The mass spectrometer was used for detection and was operated in the positive electrospray ionization with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The three compounds were effectively separated in 5 min. The linear ranges of the compounds were 0.1--25, 0.25--25 and 0.05--25 ng·mL^-1 for BP, NBP and NLX, respectively, with r≥0.9935. The method had high sensitivity (the lim- its of detection were 0.02, 0.1 and 0.01 ng.mL-1 for BP, NBP and NLX, respectively) and high recoveries (≥97.6%). The result was shown to be linear and satisfactorily met current acceptance criteria for validation of bio- analytical method: intra and inter assay precisions within the required limits of ≤25% RSD. The LOQs fulfilled the LOQ requirements: precision≤25% RSD, and was fully validated according to the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) regulations. The results demonstrated that ultra-high performance liquid chromatography- tandem mass spectrometer (UPLC-MS/MS) with SPE was a powerful detection tool and contributed to pharmaceutical analysis in biological matrices.展开更多
