Measurement of delta 1-tetrahydrocannabinol in plasma to the low picogram range by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry using metastable ion detection

A method for the assay of delta 1-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta 1-THC) in plasma using combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with metastable ion monitoring is described. delta 1-THC was extracted with hexane and the extracts were methylated with diazomethane to shift the peaks produced by endogenous plasma constituents away from the cannabinoid region. The delta 1-THC was then converted into its trimethylsilyl derivative and quantitated using the metastable ion at m/z 371 formed in the M+ leads to [M - CH3]+ transition with [1",1",2",2"-2H4]cannabinol as the internal standard. delta 1-THC could be measured to 5 pg/ml in plasma. This assay is 20-100 times more sensitive than existing assays and has the advantage of not needing the usual extensive purification step.     

Determination of telenzepine in human serum by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

A method for determining telenzepine in human serum is described. Analytes are obtained from alkalinized serum by extraction of the drug using reversed-phase octadecylsilane-bonded silica cartridges. Telenzepine and a desmethyl analogue added to serum as internal standard are retained on the C18 cartridge and recovered by elution with methanol. The gas chromatographic properties of telenzepine and the internal standard are improved by a two-step derivatization involving a benzodiazepinone-benzimidazole rearrangement and simultaneous formation of a methyl ester function. The processed extract is analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with selected-ion monitoring. Quantification is linear over the range 2-40 ng/ml. Inter-day precision is within 7%, except at the detection limit of 2 ng/ml (16%). Application of this assay to routine analysis is limited by the extensive sample pretreatment essential for derivatization of telenzepine.     

Determination of tizanidine in human plasma by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

An efficient gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method was developed and validated for the determination of tizanidine in human plasma. Plasma samples were simply extracted with ethyl acetate at basic pH and the extracts were converted into trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives for direct separation by GC-MS with selected ion monitoring (SIM). Reaction of tizanidine with N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (MSTFA) caused di-trimethylsilylation in the imidazoline moiety and this silylation significantly improved the chromatographic properties of the compound. The determination of tizanidine was accurate and reproducible, with a limit of quantitation of 0.5 ng m(-1) in plasma. The calibration curve for tizanidine was linear (r2 = 0.999) over the concentration range 0.5-10.0 ng ml(-1) in human plasma. The intra- and inter-day precision over the concentration range of tizanidine was well within 6.9% (relative standard deviation) and the accuracy was between 99.2 and 110.5%.     

Determination of N-acetylcysteine in human plasma by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

An automatic mass spectrometric method for the quantitation of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in human plasma has been developed. NAC was extracted from plasma with ethyl acetate and derivatized in two steps with 2-propanol and pentafluoropropionic anhydride. The volatile derivative obtained was ideal for gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis. Data obtained by analysing the plasma of healthy volunteers to whom 600 mg of NAC had been orally given are reported.     

Determination of atenolol in human urine by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method

A sensitive and efficient method was developed for the determination of atenolol in human urine by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Atenolol and metoprolol (internal standard, IS) were extracted from human urine with a mixture of chloroform and butanol at basic pH with liquid-liquid extraction. The extracts were derivatized with N-Methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (MSTFA) and analyzed by GC-MS using a capillary column. The standard curve was linear (r = 0.99) over the concentration range of 50-750 ng/mL. Intra- and inter-day precision, expressed as the relative standard deviation were less than 5.0%, and accuracy (relative error) was better than 7.0%. The analytical recovery of atenolol from human urine has averaged 91%. The limit of quantification was 50 ng/mL. Also, the method was successfully applied to a patient with hypertension who had been given an oral tablet of 50 mg atenolol.     

Determination of eperisone in human plasma by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

A gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric method was developed to determine eperisone hydrochloride, 4'-ethyl-2-methyl-3-piperidinopropiophenone hydrochloride, in human plasma over the concentration range 0.2-40 ng/ml. Excellent sensitivity was achieved by selection of a favorable fragment ion, m/z 98, of eperisone and reduction of heat decomposition of eperisone by using a splitless injector and a shortened capillary column. The method described here allows the determination of plasma concentrations as low as 0.2 ng/ml, the concentration attained 6 h after a single oral administration of 50 mg. At eperisone hydrochloride concentrations higher than 0.5 ng/ml, the mean inter-day variation of accuracy of the assay was less than 12%.     

Determination of testosterone propionate in human plasma by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

A specific, sensitive and accurate quantitative analysis of testosterone propionate in human plasma was developed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-selected-ion monitoring. For the calculation of testosterone propionate in plasma, peak height ratios were measured by selected-ion monitoring performed on the molecular ions of the trifluoroacetyl derivative of testosterone propionate (m/z 440) and testosterone propionate-19,19,19-d3 (m/z 443). The sensitivity of the method was judged from the lower limit of the detection of the mass spectrometer which was at 20 pg. The inter-assay coefficients of variation and relative error at a concentration of 1.31 ng/ml of plasma were 5.47% and -2.3%, respectively. The method described was applied to the determination of plasma concentrations of testosterone propionate-19,19,19-d3 following an intramuscular dose of testosterone propionate-19,19,19-d3 in a healthy male volunteer.     

Determination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in human hair by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

A rapid analytical method has been developed for the determination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in human hair. PBDEs were determined by gas chromatography with electron ionization mass spectrometric detection in the selected ion monitoring mode (GC-MS-SIM). A 200 mg amount of hair samples was overnight digested in 3N HCl and then PBDEs extracted with n-hexane. After clean up of extracts in a Florisil column, PBDEs were analyzed by GC-MS. The method has been validated by spiking human hair at five concentration levels, in the range from 5 to 25 ng/g for most compounds, and PBDEs were quantified using labelled compounds as internal standards. Recoveries of PBDEs were higher than 90%, repeatability was equal or lower than 12.5%, and reproducibility lower than 14%, expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD). Limits of detection (LOD) were in the range 0.08-0.9 ng/g and limits of quantification (LOQ) were between 0.27 and 3.0 ng/g. This method was applied to the determination of PBDEs in hair samples from 16 individuals and 5 PBDE congeners were detected in most of the samples. BDE-209 was the dominant compound found, followed by BDE-47, BDE-99, BDE-100, and BDE-190. BDE-209 was found in 12 out of 16 hair samples, and the total levels of PBDEs ranged from 1.4 to 19.9 ng/g.     

Determination of pyrethroid metabolites in human urine by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

Summary An analytical method for the simultaneous determination of the pyrethroid metabolites cis and trans-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane carboxylic acid, cis 3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane carboxylic acid, 3-phenoxybenzoic acid and 4-fluoro-3-phenoxybenzoic acid in human urine samples is described. The urine is subjected to acid-induced hydrolysis followed by exhaustive solvent extraction, covering both conjugated and free acids, followed by a common derivatisation step yielding the corresponding methyl esters. Quantitation was by diastereomeric, capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. It appears that 4-fluoro-3-phenoxybenzoic acid is a characteristic urinary marker for cyfluthrin exposure. The limits of determination are 0.5–1.0 g L^–1 urine depending on the metabolites concerned. The applicability of the method was tested on urine samples from pest control operators exposed occupationally to cypermethrin and cyfluthrin.     

Determination of cholesterol in human hair using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

This work describes a sensitive method for determining cholesterol in human hair using GC-MS. In this study, we used a very small amount of hair, only 1 mg, to quantify cholesterol. We also can achieve more effective purification and a good recovery over 92% with solid-phase extraction using an Oasis HLB cartridge. The intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy values were less than 7.08%. Cholesterol was determined to be in the range of 355-1693 microg/g in healthy human hair. We tested the concentration correlation between the serum and hair to examine the feasibility of using the hair cholesterol level as an index of the serum cholesterol level. The correlation between the serum cholesterol was 0.86 (r-value) in patients with hypercholesterolemia. This finding indicates that, in the clinical field, hair could replace serum in cholesterol level measurement.

Determination of selenoamino acids by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

The application of the recently introduced ethylchloroformate derivatization method for the separation and determination of selenomethionine and selenocystein in selenium-enriched yeast and yeast-free tablets by means of a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) system has been studied. The efficiency of three methods for the extraction of selenomethionine from the tablets were compared. Total selenium content of the same tablets were measured using inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-MS and it was found that in the selenized yeast tablets about 80% of the total selenium is present as selenomethionine. The results were in agreement with the values in the labels and with the literature. The accuracy of the total selenium analysis was controlled by the analysis of a reference material.
