Ultra-sensitive determination of Formoterol in human serum by high performance liquid chromatography and electrospray tandem mass spectrometry
چکیده انگلیسی

An analytical method was developed and validated to determine Formoterol in human serum in the range from 0.40 to 100.24 pg/mL by high performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS/MS) due to the lack of efficient methods to determine very low levels of Formoterol in serum and plasma. Serum was diluted by water and mixed with the internal standard (d6-Formoterol). Formoterol and internal standard were extracted using a cation-exchange solid phase column (SCX-3). After eliminating endogenous serum constituents through washing steps with water and methanol, elution took place using methanol/ammonia. After evaporation of the elution liquid the residue was redissolved and analyzed by HPLC–MS/MS with electrospray ionisation (ESI) in positive mode. A gradient between 10 mM ammonium formate and acetonitrile was used. The inter-batch precision of the calibration standards ranged from 1.55% to 9.01%. The inter-batch accuracy of the calibration standards ranged from 93.37% to 107.30%. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ, 0.40 pg/mL) had a precision of 19.67% and an accuracy of 96.78%. Comparable results were obtained for quality control samples. Stability in human serum was given over three freeze/thaw cycles and 2 h at room temperature. Formoterol in human serum was stable for at least 6 months below −20 °C. This method has been used widely for quantifying Formoterol after inhalation of 9–36 μg of the drug by volunteers. A cross validation with human plasma versus serum was performed after this method was successfully validated in human serum.
