Abstract

An analytical method was developed for the screening of 172 veterinary drugs in traditional Chinese medicine Galli Gigerii Endothelium Corneum by high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The samples were pretreated by a modified QuEChERS method. A Zorbax Eclipse plus C18 column (1.8μm, 3.0 × 150mm2, Agilent) was used for the separation of analytes by gradient elution. All analytes were detected by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry with multiple reaction monitoring mode. Good linearity with R ≥ 0.99 was exhibited for all analytes within the respective range. The recoveries of all monitored analytes ranged from 55.4 to 127.6% at three spiked levels (limit of quantitation-LOQ, 2-fold LOQ, 10-fold LOQ), with relative standard deviations <17.8%. The estimated LOQ levels were 0.2-20μg/kg. The application of this method provides a reference for the safety control of traditional Chinese medicines.
