摘要
An HPLC-MS/MS method has been developed for the selective quantitative analysis of paracetamol and its two major metabolites. The use of tandem MS enabled the detection and quantitation of metabolites in small sample sizes with high sensitivity and selectivity. Isocratic elution using acetonitrile and water containing formic acid combined with electrospray-tandem MS enabled the separation and accurate quantitation of each analyte and the internal standard 3-acetamidophenol. The on-column limits of detection for paracetamol, paracetamol sulfate, and paracetamol glucuronide were 2.4, 1.2, and 1.2 pmol, respectively. The method was applied to quantitate paracetamol and its metabolites in mouse urine. It is highly specific, sensitive, and easily adaptable to measure these analytes in biological fluids of other animals. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
