A sensitive and simultaneous liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated for quantification of ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel. The analytes were extracted with methyl-tert-butyl ether: n-hexane (50:50, v/v) solvent mixture, followed by dansyl derivatization. The chromatographic separation was performed on a Kinetex C (50 mm×4.6 mm, 2.6 µm) column with a mobile phase of 0.1% (v/v) formic acid in water and acetonitrile in gradient composition. The mass transitions were monitored in electrospray positive ionization mode. The assay exhibited a linear range of 0.100-20.0 ng/mL for levonorgestrel and 4.00-500 pg/mL for ethinyl estradiol in human plasma. A run time of 9.0 min for each sample made it possible to analyze a throughput of more than 100 samples per day. The validated method has been successfully used to analyze human plasma samples for application in pharmacokinetic and bioequivalence studies.
建立了一种灵敏且同时检测炔雌醇和左炔诺孕酮的液相色谱-串联质谱法并进行了验证。分析物用甲基叔丁基醚:正己烷(50:50,v/v)溶剂混合物萃取,然后进行丹磺酰衍生化。色谱分离在Kinetex C(50 mm×4.6 mm,2.6 µm)柱上进行,流动相为含0.1%(v/v)甲酸的水和梯度组成的乙腈。在电喷雾正离子化模式下监测质量跃迁。该测定法在人血浆中左炔诺孕酮的线性范围为0.100 - 20.0 ng/mL,炔雌醇为4.00 - 500 pg/mL。每个样品9.0分钟的运行时间使得每天能够分析超过100个样品的通量成为可能。该验证方法已成功用于分析人血浆样品,以应用于药代动力学和生物等效性研究。
