Abstract

To develop the method of biological fluids' sample processing and mebeverine detection to exclude false results' receiving when diagnosing drug intoxication. The study was carried out using «Mebeverine» (NJCO «North star», Russia) medicine and hydrolysis by enzymes, namely papain, chymotrypsin, trypsin, chymopsin and hyaluronidase, was applied for sample processing. The extractions were analyzed by methods of HPLC-MS/MS on Nexera XR modular liquid chromatograph with LCMS-8050 (Shimadzu) tandem mass spectrometer and GC-MS on gas chromatograph connected with QP-2020 (Shimadzu, Japanese) mono quadrupole mass spectrometer. It has been revealed that using selective method of sample processing, which consists of aqueous phase extraction at pH=2-4 and enzymatic hydrolysis by papain and hyaluronidase during isolation from blood, is required to detect mebeverine in biological liquids. It has been proven that the native mebeverine is hydrolyzed to veratric (3.4-dimethoxybenzoic) acid and mebeverine alcohol at alkalotic pH value of medium. It has been shown that mebeverine extraction is necessary to study using HPLC-MS/MS, which will allow to avoid the native mebeverine degradation in chromatograph injector as with GC-MS method analysis.
