ABSTRACT

A rapid, sensitive and selective high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric method (HPLC-MS) has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of 14-thienyl methylene matrine (TMM) and matrine (MT) in rat plasma in the present study. The analytes were separated on a C18 column (1.9 μm, 2.1 mm × 100 mm) with a security guard C18 column (5 μm, 2.1 mm × 10 mm) and a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry equipped with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source was applied for detection. With pseudoephedrine hydrochloride as internal standard, sample pretreatment involved in a one-step protein precipitation with isopropanol:ethyl acetate (v/v, 20:80). The method was linear over the concentration ranges of 5-1000 ng/ml for TMM and 10-2000 ng/ml for MT. The intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations (RSD) were less than 15% and the relative errors (RE) were all within 15%. The proposed method enables unambiguous identification and quantification of TMM and MT in vivo. This was the first report on determination of the TMM and MT in rat plasma after oral administration of TMM. The results provided a meaningful basis for evaluating the clinical applications of the medicine.
