A specific, sensitive and rapid method based on high performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC‐MS/MS) was developed for the determination of pseudo‐ginsenoside GQ in human plasma. Liquid–liquid extraction was used to isolate the analyte from biological matrix followed by injection of the extracts onto a C8 column with isocratic elution. Detection was carried out on a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer (API‐4000 system) in multiple reaction monitoring mode using negative electrospray ionization. The mobile phase consisted of methanol–10 mm ammonium acetate (90:10, v/v) and the flow rate was 0.3 mL/min. The method was validated over the concentration range of 5.0–5000.0 ng/mL for plasma. Inter‐ and intra‐day precisions (relative standard deviation) were all within 15% and the accuracy (relative error) was ≤9.4%. The lower limit of quantitation was 5.0 ng/mL. The pseudo‐ginsenoside GQ was stable after 8 h at room temperature, 24 h at autosampler and three freeze–thaw cycles (from ?30 to 25 °C). The method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of pseudo‐ginsenoside GQ in healthy Chinese volunteers. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

A sensitive and selective liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of three major lignans (podophyllotoxin, epipodophyllotoxin, and 4′‐demethylpodophyllotoxin) in rat plasma using diphenhydramine as the internal standard. The analytes were detected using a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer that was equipped with an electrospray ionization source in the positive ion and selected reaction monitoring modes. The linearity of the calibration curve was good, with coefficients of determination (r2) >0.9914 for all of the analytes. The developed method was successfully applied for the simultaneous determination of the three lignans in rat plasma following oral administration of Diphylleia sinensis extract to rats.

Panax ginseng is widely consumed as a functional food in the form of tea, powder, capsules, among others, and possesses a range of pharmacological activities including adaptogenic, immune‐modulatory, anti‐tumor, anti‐aging and anti‐inflammatory effects. The aim of this study was to identify and quantify the major ginsenosides and their metabolites in rat plasma, urine and feces after administration of P. ginseng extract using LC–MS/MS. We collected rat plasma samples at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 h, and the amounts of urine and fecal samples accumulated in 24 h. Fourteen major ginsenosides and their metabolites were observed in fecal samples at high levels; however, low levels of 11 ginsenosides were detected in urine samples. The pharmacokinetics of the major ginsenosides and their metabolites was investigated in plasma. The results indicated that the maximum plasma concentration, time to maximum concentration and area under the curve of compound K were significantly greater than those of other ginsenosides. This study thus provides valuable information for drug development and clinical application of P. ginseng. 相似文献

Ginsenoside Rh3 (GRh3) is a bacterial metabolite of ginsenoside Rg5, which is the main component of hot-processed ginseng. A simple, efficient and sensitive method was developed and validated for the determination of GRh3 in rat plasma by LC–tandem mass spectrometry. After protein precipitation with methanol/acetonitrile (1:1, vol/vol) using propranolol as the internal standard, the target analytes were separated on an XDB C18 column, with methanol containing 0.1% formic acid and water containing 0.1% formic acid used as mobile phases for gradient elution. Mass spectrometry was performed in electrospray ion source–positive ion mode and multiple reaction monitoring mode, monitoring the transitions m/z 622.5 → 425.5 and m/z 260.1 → 116.1 for GRh3 and internal standard, respectively. The concentration range of GRh3 was 20–20,000 ng/mL and the correlation coefficient (r2) was greater than 0.99. The accuracy error and relative standard deviation were below 15%. The extraction recovery and matrix effect were 74.2% to 78.7% and 96.9% to 108.4%, respectively. Under different conditions, GRh3 was stable in the range of 1.8%–8.7%. This method has been successfully applied to study the pharmacokinetics of GRh3 with an oral dose of 10.0 mg/kg and an intravenous dose of 2.0 mg/kg in rats, respectively. The absolute bioavailability of GRh3 was 37.6%. 相似文献

A sensitive and rapid LC‐MS/MS method has been developed and validated for quantifying swertianolin in rat plasma using rutin as an internal standard (IS). Following liquid–liquid extraction with ethyl acetate, chromatographic separation for swertianolin was achieved on a C18 column with a gradient elution using 0.1% formic acid as mobile phase A and acetonitrile as mobile phase B at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The detection was performed on a tandem mass spectrometer using multiple reaction monitoring via an electrospray ionization source and operating in the negative ionization mode. The optimized mass transition ion pairs (m/z) for quantitation were 435.1/272.0 for swertianolin and 609.2/300.1 for IS. The lower limit of quantitation was 0.5 ng/mL within a linear range of 0.5–500 ng/mL. Intra‐day and inter‐day precision was less than 6.8%. The accuracy was in the range of ?13.9 to 12.0%. The mean recovery of swertianolin was >66.7%. The proposed method was successfully applied in evaluating the pharmacokinetics of swertianolin after an oral dose of 50 mg/kg Swertia mussotii extract in rats.

A rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometric method (LC‐MS/MS) for the determination of bromotetrandrine in rat plasma has been developed and applied to pharmacokinetic study in Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats after a single oral administration. Sample preparation involves a liquid–liquid extraction with n‐hexane–dichlormethane (65:35, containing 1% 2‐propanol isopropyl alcohol, v/v). Bromotetrandrine and brodimoprim (internal standard, IS) were well separated by LC with a Dikma C18 column using methanol–ammonium formate aqueous solution (20 mm ) containing 0.5% formic acid (60:40, v/v) as mobile phase. Detection was performed on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer in multiple reaction monitoring mode. The ionization was optimized using ESI(+) and selectivity was achieved using MS/MS analysis, m/z 703.0 → 461.0 and m/z 339.0 → 281.0 for bromotetrandrine and IS, respectively. The present method exhibited good linearity over the concentration range of 20–5000 ng/mL for bromotetrandrine in rat plasma with a lower limit of quantification of 20 ng/mL. The intra‐ and inter‐day precisions were 2.8–7.5% and 3.2–8.1%, and the intra‐ and inter‐day accuracy ranged from ?4.8 to 8.2% and ?5.6 to 6.2%, respectively. The method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study after a single oral administration to SD rats with bromotetrandrine of 50 mg/kg. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

A simple, rapid and accurate liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method has been developed. After a liquid-liquid extraction procedure, samples were chromatographed on an Agilent TC-C(18) (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) column using an isocratic elution mobile phase composed of methanol and distilled water (70:30, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. After single-dose administration of 0.5, 1 and 2 mg metolazone, the t(1/2) values were 6.6 ± 2.8, 7.9 ± 1.2 and 7.6 ± 1.9 h, respectively. The pharmacokinetic parameters of multiple doses (1 mg metolazone) were as follows: t(1/2) was 8.9 ± 1.0 h; C(max) was 22.4 ± 5.0 ng/mL; and AUC(0-48) was 156.8 ± 31.6 ng h/mL. 相似文献

An assay based on protein precipitation and liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has been developed and validated for the quantitative analysis of lisinopril in human plasma. After the addition of enalaprilat as internal standard (IS), plasma samples were prepared by one-step protein precipitation using perchloric acid followed by an isocratic elution with 10 mm ammonium acetate buffer (pH adjusted to 5.0 with acetic acid)-methanol (70:30, v/v) on a Phenomenex Luna 5 mu C(18) (2) column. Detection was performed on a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer utilizing an electrospray ionization (ESI) interface operating in positive ion and selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode with the precursor to product ion transitions m/z 406 --> 246 for lisinopril and m/z 349 --> 206 for enalaprilat. Calibration curves of lisinopril in human plasma were linear (r = 0.9973-0.9998) over the concentration range 2-200 ng/mL with acceptable accuracy and precision. The limit of detection and lower limit of quantification in human plasma were 1 and 2 ng/mL, respectively. The validated LC-MS/MS method has been successfully applied to a preliminary pharmacokinetic study of lisinopril in Chinese healthy male volunteers. 相似文献

Ginsenoside Rh4 (Rh4) and ginsenoside Rk3 (Rk3) are two active substances isolated from the processed Panax species. To further explore their potential medicinal application, a reliable liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry method (LC/MS/MS) was developed and validated for the quantification of Rh4 and Rk3 in rat plasma. Multiple ion monitoring and multiple reaction monitoring experiments were performed in negative ionization mode. This LC/MS/MS method had good selectivity, sensitivity (lower limit of quantification = 10 ng/mL), precision (intra‐ and inter‐day relative standard deviation ≤ 10.1) and accuracy (analytical recovery within 100 ± 10%). The pharmacokinetic profiles of Rh4 and Rk3 were subsequently assessed in Sprague–Dawley rats. Similar to many other ginsenosides, the oral bioavailability of Rh4 and Rk3 was unfavorable, and Rh4 and Rk3 did not have any measurable plasma exposure after oral administration (20 mg/kg). Fortunately, upon intravenous administration (5 mg/kg), both Rh4 and Rk3 possessed abundant plasma exposure, moderate clearance (Cl = 50.2 ± 7.7 and 23.8 ± 1.4 mL·min?1·kg?1, respectively) and terminal elimination half‐life (t1/2 λZ = 157.2 ± 65.2 and 99.5 ± 37.8 min, respectively). As Rh4 and Rk3 displayed favorable intravenous pharmacokinetic profiles, further exploration on their medicinal application is warranted. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

A simple, rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography/electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) quantitative detection method, using cefalexin as internal standard, was developed for the analysis of faropenem in human plasma and urine. After precipitation of the plasma proteins with acetonitrile, the analytes were separated on a C18 reversed-phase column with 0.1% formic acid-methanol (45:55, v/v) and detected by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry in positive multiple reaction monitoring mode. Calibration curves with good linearities (r=0.9991 for plasma sample and r=0.9993 for urine sample) were obtained in the range 5-4000 ng/mL for faropenem. The limit of detection was 5 ng/mL. Recoveries were around 90% for the extraction from human plasma, and good precision and accuracy were achieved. This method is feasible for the evaluation of pharmacokinetic profiles of faropenem in humans, and to our knowledge, it is the first time the pharmacokinetic of faropenem has been elucidated in vivo using LC-MS/MS. 相似文献

A high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled to time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (HPLC‐TOF MS) method was successfully developed and validated for the identification and determination of seven ginsenosides, Re, Rf, Rb1, Rc, Rb2, Ro and Rd, in a Chinese herbal preparation, Shenfu injection, and rat plasma. Based on the method, the pharmacokinetic profiles of the seven ginsenosides were investigated following intravenous administration of single dose of Shenfu injection to six rats. The established method had high linearity, selectivity, sensitivity, accuracy and precision. The pharmacokinetic results showed that Rb1, Rc and Rb2 had similar pharmacokinetic profiles and relatively long half‐life values (19.29 ± 6.36, 29.54 ± 22.91 and 35.60 ± 30.66 h). The half‐lives of Rf and Rd were 4.21 ± 3.68 and 8.49 ± 5.20 h, respectively, indicating that they could be metabolized more rapidly than Rb1, Rc and Rb2.

A sensitive and rapid liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS) method was developed and validated for determination of bakkenolide D (BD), which was further applied to assess the pharmacokinetics of BD. In the LC‐MS/MS method, the multiple reaction monitoring mode was used and columbianadin was chosen as internal standard. The method was validated over the range of 1–800 ng/mL with a determination coefficient >0.999. The lower limit of quantification was 1 ng/mL in plasma. The intra‐ and inter‐day accuracies for BD were 91–113 and 100–104%, respectively, and the inter‐day precision was <15%. After a single oral dose of 10 mg/kg of BD, the mean peak plasma concentration of BD was 10.1 ± 9.8 ng/mL at 2 h. The area under the plasma concentration–time curve (AUC0–24 h) was 72.1 ± 8.59 h ng/mL, and the elimination half‐life (T1/2) was 11.8 ± 1.9 h. In case of intravenous administration of BD at a dosage of 1 mg/kg, the AUC0–24 h was 281 ± 98.4 h?ng/mL, and the T1/2 was 8.79 ± 0.63 h. Based on these results, the oral bioavailability of BD in rats at 10 mg/kg is 2.57%. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

A sensitive and selective liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the determination of sodium cromoglycate (SCG) in human plasma after a nasal dose of 10.4 mg sodium cromoglycate nasal spray, using pravastatin sodium as the internal standard. The method was validated over a linear range of 0.300-20.0 ng/mL. SCG and I.S. were extracted from 1.0 mL of heparinized plasma by C(18) solid-phase extraction cartridges using methanol as eluting solvent. The dried residue was reconstituted with 100 microL of mobile phase, and 10 microL was injected onto the LC-MS/MS system. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a C(18) column (250 x 4.6 mm i.d., 5 microm particle size) with a mobile phase of methanol-acetonitrile-water (containing 2 mmol/L ammonium acetate; 42.5:42.5:15, v/v/v) at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. The analytes were detected with a triple quad LC-MS/MS using ESI with positive ionization. Ions monitored in the multiple reaction monitoring mode were m/z 469.0 (precursor ion) to m/z 245.0 (product ion) for SCG and m/z 447.2 (precursor ion) to m/z327.1 (product ion) for pravastatin sodium (internal standard) The average recovery of SCG from human plasma was 94.88% and the lower limit of quantitation was 0.3 ng/mL. Results from a 3-day validation study demonstrated excellent precision and accuracy across the calibration range of 0.3-20 ng/mL. The method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of SCG in healthy Chinese volunteers. Copyright (c) 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

A rapid, sensitive and simple liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS) method using an electrospray ionization (ECI) source for the quantification of novel anti‐thrombotic agent S002‐333 [2‐(4‐methoxy‐benzenesulfonyl)‐2,3,4,9‐tetrahydro‐1H‐β‐carboxylic acid amide] in rabbit plasma was developed and validated. The extraction from plasma was carried out by simple protein precipitation extraction method. The chromatographic separation was performed on an Ultramex Cyno, (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) with a guard column, using acetonitrile–water (75:25,v/v) with flow rate of 0.6 mL/min as the mobile phase. The tandem mass spectrometer was tuned in the multiple reaction monitoring mode to monitor the m/z transitions 386.4/215.4 for S002‐333 and m/z 393.4/171for the internal standard dexamethasone, using positive ion mode. The MS/MS response was linear over the concentration range from 1.56 to 200 ng/mL, with a lower limit of detection of 0.78 ng/mL. The accuracy and precision of the method were within the acceptable limit of ±20% at the lower limit of quantitation and ±15% at other concentrations and showed no significant matrix effect.

Copen is a derivative obtained from the structural modification of osthole, which inhibits tumoral proliferation in many tumor cell lines. A rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS) method was established for the quantification of copen in rat plasma. After a simple sample preparation procedure by one‐step protein precipitation with methanol, copen and bicalutamide (internal standard, IS) were chromatographed on a Zorbax SB‐C18 (4.6×100 mm, 1.8 µm) column with a mobile phase consisting of methanol–5 mm ammonium formate water with 0.1% formic acid (80:20, v/v). MS detection was performed on a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer in the multiple reaction monitoring mode with a positive eletrospray ionization source. The assay was validated in the concentration range of 51.58–20630 ng/mL, with a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 51.58 ng/mL. The intra‐ and inter‐day precisions (relative standard deviation) were ≤3.21 and ≤11.3%, respectively, with accuracy (%) in the range of 94.66–102.1%. The method was fully validated in a study of the pharmacokinetics of copen (25 mg/kg) after intragastric administration in rats. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

A sensitive and selective LC‐MS/MS method for the determination of agomelatine in human plasma was developed and validated. After simple liquid–liquid extraction, the analytes were separated on a Zorbax SB‐C18 column (150 × 2.1 mm i.d., 5 µm) with an isocratic mobile phase consisting of 5 mm ammonium acetate solution (containing 0.1% formic acid) and methanol (30:70, v/v) at a flow‐rate of 0.3 mL/min. The MS acquisition was performed in multiple reaction monitoring mode with a positive electrospray ionization source. The mass transitions monitored were m/z 244.1 → 185.3 and m/z 285.2 → 193.2 for agomelatine and internal standard, respectively. The methods were validated for selectivity, carry‐over, matrix effects, calibration curves, accuracy and precision, extraction recoveries, dilution integrity and stability. The validated method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of agomelatine in Chinese volunteers following a single oral dose of 25 mg agomelatine tablet.

In this study, a sensitive, simple and reliable method for the quantification of docetaxel in rat plasma was developed and validated using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS). The plasma samples were prepared by protein precipitation, and paclitaxel was used as an internal standard (IS). Chromatographic separation was achieved using a Gemini C18 column (2.0 × 150 mm, 5 µm) with a mobile phase consisting of 0.1% formic acid–acetonitrile (30:70, v/v). The precursor–product ion pairs used for multiple reaction monitoring were m/z 808.5 → 527.5 (docetaxel) and m/z 854.2 → 286.5 (IS, paclitaxel). A calibration curve for docetaxel was constructed over the range 1–1000 ng/mL. The developed method was specific, precise and accurate, and no matrix effect was observed. The validated method was applied in a comparative pharmacokinetic study in which two docetaxel formulations, SID530, a new parenteral formulation of docetaxel with hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin (HP‐β‐CD), and Taxotere, were administered to rats at a dose of 5 mg/kg. For SID530 and Taxotere, the mean C0 values were 1494 and 1818 ng/mL, respectively, and the AUClast values were 837 and 755 h ng/mL, respectively. These two formulations did not show any statistical differences with regard to the pharmacokinetic parameters, thus establishing that the SID530 and Taxotere products are pharmacokinetically comparable in male rats.

Tiopronin (TP) is a synthetic thiol compound without chromophore. By optimizing the chromatographic conditions and sample preparation processes, an improved LC‐MS/MS analytical method without derivatization has been developed and validated to determine TP concentrations in human plasma. After reduction with 1,4‐dithiothreitol, plasma samples were deproteinized with 10% perchloric acid. The post‐treatment samples were analyzed on a C8 column interfaced with a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer in negative electrospray ionization mode. Methanol–5 mmol/L ammonium acetate (20:80, v/v) was used as the isocratic mobile phase. The assay was linear over the concentration range of 40.0–5000 ng/mL. The intra‐ and inter‐day precisions were within 12.9% in terms of relative standard deviation and the accuracy within 5.6% in terms of relative error. This simple and sensitive LC‐MS/MS method with short analytical time (3.5 min each sample) was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of TP in healthy Chinese male volunteers after an oral dose of 300 mg TP.

A sensitive and selective liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS) was developed and validated for the determination of salbutamol in human plasma and urine, and successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of salbutamol in Chinese healthy volunteers after inhalation of salbutamol sulfate aerosol. Salbutamol and the internal standard (IS) acetaminophen in plasma and urine were extracted with ethyl acetate, separated on a C18 reversed‐phase column, eluted with mobile phase of acetonitrile–ammonium acetate (5 m m ; 30:70, v/v), ionized by positive ion pneumatically assisted electrospray and detected in the multi‐reaction monitoring mode using precursor → product ions of m/z 240.2 → 148.1 for salbutamol and 152 → 110 for the IS. The lower limits of quantitation of salbutamol in human plasma and urine by this method were 0.02 and 1 ng/mL, respectively. The specificity, matrix effect, recovery, sensitivity, linearity, accuracy, precision and several stabilities were validated for salbutamol in human plasma and urine. In conclusion, the validation results showed that this method is robust, specific and sensitive, and can successfully fulfill the requirement of clinical pharmacokinetic study of salbutamol in healthy Chinese volunteers.

A rapid, sensitive and selective liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method (LC‐MS/MS) was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of albiflorin and paeoniflorin in rat plasma using geniposide as an internal standard. Plasma samples were extracted by solid‐phase extraction. Chromatographic separation was carried out on a Zorbax SB‐C18 analytical column (150 × 2.1 mm × 5 µm) with 0.1% formic acid–acetonitrile (70:30, v/v) as the mobile phase. Detection was performed by multiple reaction monitoring mode using electrospray ionization in the positive ion mode. The total run time was 3.0 min between injections. The calibration curves were linear over a range of 1–1000 ng/mL for albiflorin and 2–2000 ng/mL for paeoniflorin. The overall precision and accuracy for all concentrations of quality controls and standards were better than 15%. Mean recovery was determined to be 87.7% for albiflorin and 88.8% for paeoniflorin. The validated method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of albiflorin and paeoniflorin in rat plasma after oral administration of Radix Paeoniae Alba extract and Tang‐Min‐Ling‐Wan. The pharmacokinetic parameters showed that albiflorin and paeoniflorin from Tang‐Min‐Ling‐Wan were absorbed more rapidly with higher concentrations in plasma than that from Radix Paeoniae Alba extract. The results provided a meaningful basis for evaluating the clinical applications of traditional Chinese medicine. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献
