- Abstract:
- A sensitive and specific direct-injection high-performance liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization tandem mass-spectrometry (HPLC-APCI-MS-MS) method has been developed for the rapid identification and quantitation of seven tricyclic antidepressants-amitriptyline, nortriptyline, doxepin, dosulepin, dibenzepin, opipramol, and melitracen-in human plasma. After the addition of the internal standard lofepramine and dilution with 0.1% formic acid, plasma samples were injected into the LC-MS-MS system. Proteins and other large biomolecules were removed during an on-line sample cleanup using an Oasis extraction column (1 x 50 mm, ID, 30 microm) with a 100% aqueous mobile phase at a flow rate of 4 mL/min. The extraction column was subsequently brought in-line with the analytical column by automatic valve switching. Analytes were separated on a 5-microm Symmetry C18 (Waters) analytical column (3.0 x 150 mm, ID) using a step gradient of acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid at a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min. The total analysis time was only 12 minutes per sample. The interday and intraday coefficients of variation for all compounds were =11%. The assay was sufficiently sensitive to monitor all seven compounds within their therapeutic ranges. The proposed method has been in routine use for more than 1 year and permits direct analysis of plasma samples without time-consuming sample preparation, which may be especially advantageous for clinical laboratories.
