Utilizing tigecycline-d9 as an internal standard (IS), we establish and validate a simple, effective, and rapid liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the quantitative measurement of tigecycline (TGC) in patient plasma. Acetonitrile was used as a precipitant to process plasma samples by a protein precipitation method. The analyte and IS were separated on an HSS T3 (2.1 × 100 mm, 3.5 m) chromatographic column using isocratic program with a mobile phase comprising of 80% solvent A (water containing 0.1% formic acid (v/v) with 5 mM ammonium acetate) and 20% solvent B (acetonitrile) with a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The mass spectrometer, scanning in multireaction monitoring (MRM) mode and using an electrospray ion source (ESI), operated in the positive-ion mode. The ion pairs used for quantitative analysis were / 586.4 ⟶ 513.3 and / 595.5 ⟶ 514.3 for TGC and the IS, respectively. The range of the linear calibration curve obtained with this approach was 50-5000 ng/ml. Intra- and interbatch precision for TGC quantitation were less than 7.2%, and the accuracy ranged from 93.4 to 101.8%. The IS-normalized matrix effect was 87 to 104%. Due to its high precision and accuracy, this novel method allows for fast quantitation of TGC with a total analysis time of 2 min. This approach was effectively applied to study the pharmacokinetics of TGC in critically ill adult patients.
以替加环素 - d9作为内标（IS），我们建立并验证了一种简单、有效且快速的液相色谱 - 串联质谱（LC - MS/MS）方法，用于定量测定患者血浆中的替加环素（TGC）。使用乙腈作为沉淀剂，通过蛋白质沉淀法处理血浆样本。分析物和内标在HSS T3（2.1×100 mm，3.5μm）色谱柱上分离，采用等度洗脱程序，流动相由80%的溶剂A（含0.1%甲酸（v/v）和5 mM醋酸铵的水）和20%的溶剂B（乙腈）组成，流速为0.3 mL/min。质谱仪在多反应监测（MRM）模式下扫描，使用电喷雾离子源（ESI），以正离子模式运行。用于定量分析的离子对分别为TGC的 / 586.4⟶ 513.3和内标的 / 595.5⟶ 514.3。用该方法获得的线性校准曲线范围为50 - 5000 ng/ml。TGC定量的批内和批间精密度均小于7.2%，准确度范围为93.4%至101.8%。内标归一化基质效应为87%至104%。由于其高精度和准确性，这种新方法能够快速定量TGC，总分析时间为2分钟。该方法有效地应用于研究危重症成年患者中TGC的药代动力学。
