Abstract
A rapid and high sensitive liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method for simultaneous determination of chlorogenic acid and cinnamic acid in human plasma was developed. The analytes and internal standard (IS), tinidazole, were extracted from human plasma via liquid/liquid extraction with ether–ethyl acetate (1:1, v/v) and separated on an Agilent Zorbax SB C18 column within 5 min. Quantitation was performed on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer employing electrospray ionization technique, operating in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) and negative ion mode. The precursor to product ion transitions monitored for chlorogenic acid, cinnamic acid and IS were m/ z 352.9 → 191.1, 146.8 → 103.1, 245.6 → 126.0, respectively. The assay was validated with linear range of 1.00–800.00 ng/mL for chlorogenic acid and 0.50–400.00 ng/mL for cinnamic acid. The intra- and inter-day precisions (RSD%) were within 9.05% for each analyte. The absolution recoveries were greater than 74.62% for chlorogenic acid and 76.21% for cinnamic acid. Each analyte was proved to be stable during all sample storage, preparation and analytic procedures. The method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of Mailuoning injection in 10 healthy volunteers.
