Dried blood spot on-card derivatization: an alternative form of sample handling to overcome the instability of thiorphan in biological matrix.
BIOMEDICAL CHROMATOGRAPHY(2012)
摘要
Thiorphan, the active metabolite of racecadotril, can undergo oxidation in biological matrices such as blood and plasma. In bioanalysis, a general approach for the stabilization of such a molecule is to derivatize the thiol group to a more stable thioether, often requiring complex handling procedures at the clinical site. In this research, the concept of dried blood spot (DBS) on-card derivatization was evaluated to stabilize thiorphan. DBS cards were in-house pre-treated with 2-bromo-3'-methoxyacetophenone and left to dry prior to blood spotting. Thiorphan was shown to be effectively derivatized to thiorphanmethoxyacetophenone once applied on the in-house pre-treated cards. Thiorphanmethoxyacetophenone was extracted by soaking a 6?mm DBS punch in methanol containing the internal standard (thiorphanmethoxyacetophenone-D5). Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Waters XBridge C18 column with a gradient elution of 5?m m NH4HCO3 and methanol in 2.5?min and detection by ESI(+)/MS/MS. A linear (weighted 1/x2) relationship was obtained over a concentration range of 5.00600.00?ng/mL. The assay met regulatory guidelines acceptance criteria for sensitivity, selectivity, precision and accuracy, matrix effect, recovery, dilution integrity and multiple stability evaluations. The DBS on-card derivatization has shown to be an easy and reliable alternative form of sample collection for the quantification of thiorphan. Copyright (c) 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
