Abstract: | A sensitive and selective liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for determination of azasetron hydrochloride in rabbit plasma was developed. After addition of doxapram hydrochloride as internal standard (IS), protein precipitation by 10% trichloroacetic acid was used as sample preparation. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Zorbax SB-C(18) (2.1 × 50 mm, 3.5 μm) column with acetonitrile-water as mobile phase with gradient elution. An electrospray ionization source was applied and operated in positive ion mode; multiple reaction monitoring mode was used to quantification using target fragment ions m/z 349.9 → 223.5 for azasetron hydrochloride and m/z 378.9 → 291.8 for the IS. Calibration plots were linear over the range of 6-1000 ng/mL for azasetron hydrochloride in plasma. The lower limit of quantitation for azasetron hydrochloride was 6 ng/mL. The mean recovery of azasetron hydrochloride from plasma was in the range 85.6-92.7%. The RSDs of intra-day and inter-day precision were both less than 12%. This method is simple and sensitive enough to be used in pharmacokinetic research for determination of azasetron hydrochloride in rabbit plasma. |
