Abstract [en]
Sensitive enantioselective liquid chromatographic assays using tandem mass spectrometric detection were developed and validated for the determination of S-cetirizine (S-CZE) and R-cetirizine (R-CZE) in guinea pig plasma, brain tissue, and microdialysis samples. Enantioselective separation was achieved on an alpha1-acid glycoprotein column within 14 min for all methods. A cetirizine analog, ucb 20028, was used as internal standard. Cetirizine and the internal standard were detected by multiple reaction monitoring using transitions m/z 389.1 --> 200.9 and 396.1 --> 276.1, respectively. The samples were prepared using protein precipitation with acetonitrile. For guinea pig plasma, the assay was linear over the range 0.25-5000 ng/mL for both S-CZE and R-CZE, with a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 0.25 ng/mL. For the brain tissue and microdialysis samples, the assays were linear over the range 2.5-250 ng/g and 0.25-50 ng/mL, respectively, and the LLOQ values were 2.5 ng/g and 0.25 ng/mL, respectively. The intra- and inter-day precision values were < or =7.1% and < or =12.6%, respectively, and the intra- and inter-day accuracy varied by less than +/-8.0% and +/-6.0% of the nominal value, respectively, for both enantiomers in all the matrices investigated.
