In this study, we developed a bioanalytical method using liquid chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to apply to a pharmacokinetic study of inotodiol, which is known for its anti-cancer activity. Plasma samples were prepared with alkaline hydrolysis, liquid–liquid extraction, and solid-phase extraction. Inotodiol was detected in positive mode with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization by multiple-reaction monitoring mode using LC-MS/MS. The developed method was validated with linearity, accuracy, and precision. Accuracy ranged from 97.8% to 111.9%, and the coefficient of variation for precision was 1.8% to 4.4%. The developed method was applied for pharmacokinetic study, and the mean pharmacokinetic parameters administration were calculated as follows: λz 0.016 min−1; T1/2 49.35 min; Cmax 2582 ng/mL; Cl 0.004 ng/min; AUC0–t 109,500 ng×min/mL; MRT0–t 32.30 min; Vd 0.281 mL after intravenous administration at dose of 2 mg/kg and λz 0.005 min−1; T1/2 138.6 min; Tmax 40 min; Cmax 49.56 ng/mL; AUC0–t 6176 ng×in/mL; MRT0–t 103.7 min after oral administration. The absolute oral bioavailability of inotodiol was 0.45%, similar to nonpolar phytosterols. Collectively, this is the first bioanalytical method and pharmacokinetic study for inotodiol.

Plasma Free Metanephrines

Abstract Background: Quantification of plasma free metanephrines is usually accomplished by HPLC with electrochemical detection, but sample preparation is labor-intensive and time-consuming, run times are long, and interfering substances sometimes obscure the relevant peaks. The aim of this study was to develop a sensitive and specific LC-MS/MS method for plasma free metanephrines. Methods: After solid-phase extraction, chromatographic separation of normetanephrine (NMN) and metanephrine (MN) was accomplished by use of a cyano analytical column. NMN, MN, d3-NMN, and d3-MN positive ions were detected in the multiple-reaction monitoring mode using the specific transitions m/z 166→134, 180→148, 169→137, and 183→151, respectively, with an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization source. Results: Multiple calibration curves exhibited consistent linearity and reproducibility. Interassay imprecision values (CV; n = 20) for NMN at 0.64, 1.9, and 2.7 nmol/L were 6.6%, 7.8%, and 13%, respectively. Interassay CV for MN at 0.60, 1.2, and 2.1 nmol/L (n = 20) were 9.2%, 6.8%, and 9.8%, respectively. The mean recoveries of NMN and MN relative to the internal standard were 100% and 96%, respectively. The assays were linear between 0.20 and 10.0 nmol/L. Deming regression of HPLC and LC-MS/MS results yielded slopes of 0.93 (95% confidence interval, 0.89–0.98) and 0.89 (0.85–0.93) and y-intercepts of −0.16 and 0.03 nmol/L for NMN (n = 132) and MN (n = 92), respectively. Conclusions: This novel LC-MS/MS approach provides a precise, rapid, and specific alternative method to HPLC for the quantification of the low nanomolar concentrations of free metanephrines in plasma.

Abstract A rapid confirmatory liquid chromatographic/tandem mass spectrometic method was developed for determination of chloramphenicol in bovine milk. Chloramphenicol was extracted directly from milk by solid-phase extraction on a C18 cartridge. The extract was further cleaned up on neutral aluminium oxide. Three transition products were monitored in negative ion mode after atmospheric pressure chemical ionization. The detection capability related to the transition product of lowest abundance was 0.03 μg/kg. The mean recovery was 90% at levels of 0.1–0.2 μg/kg. The relative repeatability standard deviations were 4.3, 3.8, and 2.8% at levels of 0.1, 0.2, and 1.0 μg/kg, respectively.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic (LC) multiresidue screening procedure was developed for determination of eprinomectin, moxidectin, abamectin, doramectin, and ivermectin in beef liver at 0, 25, 50, and 100 ppb levels. A procedure using low resolution LC/atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) mass spectrometry (MS) was developed with further purification steps added to the quantitative LC method to confirm residues. Acetonitrile extracts of liver, prior to derivatization for LC analysis, were further purified by using a C8 solid-phase extraction cartridge and an alumina-B cartridge. The purified extract was analyzed by injection into an LC/positive ion APCI MS. Identity of the compound was confirmed by comparison of its retention time and relative intensity data with those of a standard or recovery from a fortified control liver sample. Anthelmintic drugs in acetonitrile extracts of liver containing eprinomectin, moxidectin, abamectin, doramectin, and ivermectin at 25 ppb, the lowest level of fortification used in the LC determinative method, were successfully confirmed.
