Abstract: | This paper describes a comparison between atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and the recently introduced atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) interface for the LC–MS determination of idoxifene and its major metabolite, SB245419 (SB19), in human plasma. The results indicate that analyte response in APPI is highly dependent on the solvent composition, especially to water in the mobile phase. Other parameters investigated are the mobile phase flow-rate, the chemical noise, and signal suppression by matrix interferences. APPI appears to be six to eight times more sensitive than APCI for idoxifene and its SB245419 metabolite; the response for the SB245420 metabolite is considerably better than for APCI conditions, but still not sufficient for trace level pharmacokinetic determinations in human plasma. The LOQ for the parent drug and its major metabolite were 10 and 25 ng/ml, respectively, in human plasma. From post-column infusion experiments we conclude that there is little difference in matrix suppression between APCI and APPI. From these studies we suggest APPI may be an additional tool in pharmaceutical LC–MS applications. |
