Abstract
A high-throughput quantitative analytical method based on Direct Analysis in Real Time tandem mass spectrometry (DART-MS/MS) has been developed and validated for the determination of diazepam in rat plasma, whereby analyzing of each sample needs merely 25 μL plasma, simple solid phase extraction sample preparation and 15 s acquisition time. The multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) transitions at m/z 285.2 → 193.1 and 316.0 → 270.0 were selected for the monitoring of diazepam and its internal standard clonazepam respectively. A good linearity within the range of 10–2000 ng/mL, an intra- and inter-day precisions within <7.78% as to an accuracy ranging from 1.04% to 7.92% have been achieved. The method has been successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of diazepam in rats’ plasma after a single intragastric administration at a dose of 10 mg/kg. The results indicate that this method fulfills the requirements of the bioanalysis in sensitivity and accuracy. It shows considerable promise for application of DART-MS to the quantitative investigation of other drugs.
