Abstract:OBJECTIVE To develop a simple and reliable liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of sertraline, duloxetine, fluvoxamine, fluoxetine and norfluoxetine in serum. METHODS These analytes were extracted by protein precipitation using N-methyl fluoxetine and N-methyl duloxetine as internal standard. The separation was achieved on ES Sonoma C18(2) column (2.1 mm×50 mm, 3 μm) with gradient eluted program using 0.2% formic acid acetonitrile and 50% methanol-water with 6 mmol·L-1 ammonium acetate as mobile phase. API 4000 triple quadrupole system equipped with an electrospray ionization ion-trap source (ESI) was used for monitoring the analytes and which was operated in the positive ion mode. Analytes were detected in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. RESULTS The linear calibration curve of sertraline, duloxetine, fluvoxamine, fluoxetine and norfluoxetine were obtained in the concentration range of 9.22-295.16 (r2=0.997 4), 10.80-345.60 (r2=0.995 5), 8.10-259.12 (r2=0.995 2), 10.11-323.54 (r2=0.996 7), 5.90-188.70 (r2=0.995 7) ng·mL-1, respectively. The accuracy of intra-batch and inter-batch assays was between 93.44% and 106.20% and the precision CV% was less than 10.00%. The selectivity, matrix effect and carry-over meet the requirements. The raw samples could stay stable for seven days in 4 ℃ condition, and post-preparative stability was validated for 24 h in room temperature and meet the requirement. CONCLUSION A simple and reliable LC-MS/MS method is established and validated. And this method has already been used to monitor the serum concentration of sertraline, duloxetine, fluvoxamine, fluoxetine and norfluoxetine.
