Abstract
A simple and sensitive procedure, using benzylpiperazine-D7 (BZP-D7) as an internal standard, has been developed and validated for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of 40 piperazines in hair. Drugs were extracted from 20 mg of hair with 0.5 mL of methanol containing 1 ng/mL BZP-D7. After ultrasonication, centrifugation and filtration, the supernatant was analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS) operating in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. Piperazine-type substances were separated in 10 min on a T3 column using a mobile phase gradient composed of A (water, formic acid 0.1 %, acetonitrile 5 %, and 20 mmol/L ammonium acetate) and B (acetonitrile). The developed and validated method showed good selectivity, sensitivity (limit of detection: 0.5–20 pg/mg and lower limit of quantitation: 5–20 pg/mg), linearity (R2 > 0.99), accuracy, precision, and dilution integrity. The method also showed good recovery and acceptable matrix effects for most of the targeted compounds. This analytical approach was successfully applied for the identification and quantification of piperazine-type substances in hair from rat and guinea pig.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chromatography B publishes papers on developments in separation science relevant to biology and biomedical research including both fundamental advances and applications. Analytical techniques which may be considered include the various facets of chromatography, electrophoresis and related methods, affinity and immunoaffinity-based methodologies, hyphenated and other multi-dimensional techniques, and microanalytical approaches. The journal also considers articles reporting developments in sample preparation, detection techniques including mass spectrometry, and data handling and analysis.
Developments related to preparative separations for the isolation and purification of components of biological systems may be published, including chromatographic and electrophoretic methods, affinity separations, field flow fractionation and other preparative approaches.
Applications to the analysis of biological systems and samples will be considered when the analytical science contains a significant element of novelty, e.g. a new approach to the separation of a compound, novel combination of analytical techniques, or significantly improved analytical performance.
