A rapid and highly sensitive LC-MS-MS method for simultaneous determination of 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 [25(OH)D2] and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] in human plasma has been developed using derivatization with a Cookson-type reagent, 4-[2-(6,7-dimethoxy-4-methyl-3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxalyl)ethyl]-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (DMEQTAD). The derivatization with DMEQTAD significantly improved the ionization efficiencies of 25(OH)D2 and 25(OH)D3 with detection limits of 20 and 12.5 fmol (8 and 5 pg) per injection, respectively. The method employed two steps of solvent extraction but did not require chromatographic purifications for sample pretreatment. The determination was carried out by mass chromatography of the protonated molecular ions formed by atmospheric pressure chemical ionization operating in the positive-ion mode after the derivatization, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D4 was used as an internal standard. The intra-assay coefficients of variation were below 4.02 and 3.24% for 25(OH)D2 and 25(OH)D3, respectively, and the analytical recoveries of both compounds were quantitative. Assay linearity was obtained in the range of 0.05—1 ng per tube and the determination limit was 3 ng/ml for a 20 μl plasma aliquot, for each compound. The developed method was applied to plasma samples obtained from volunteers, two of whom had received vitamin D2 supplementation, and gave satisfactory results.
开发了一种快速、高灵敏度的 LC-MS-MS 方法,可使用 Cookson-衍生化方法同时测定人血浆中的 25-羟基维生素 D2 [25(OH)D2] 和 25-羟基维生素 D3 [25(OH)D3]。型试剂,4-[2-(6,7-二甲氧基-4-甲基-3-氧代-3,4-二氢喹喔啉基)乙基]-1,2,4-三唑啉-3,5-二酮(DMEQTAD)。使用 DMEQTAD 衍生化显着提高了 25(OH)D2 和 25(OH)D3 的电离效率,每次进样的检测限分别为 20 和 12.5 fmol(8 和 5 pg)。该方法采用两步溶剂萃取,但样品预处理不需要色谱纯化。采用衍生化后以正离子模式操作的常压化学电离形成的质子化分子离子质谱进行测定,以25-羟基维生素D4作为内标。 25(OH)D2 和 25(OH)D3 的测定内变异系数分别低于 4.02 和 3.24%,并且两种化合物的分析回收率都是定量的。对于每种化合物,测定线性范围为每管 0.05-1 ng,20 μl 血浆等分试样的测定限为 3 ng/ml。所开发的方法应用于从志愿者(其中两名补充了维生素 D2)获得的血浆样本,并得到了令人满意的结果。
