Determination of S,S,S-tributyltrithiophosphate in rat plasma by LC-MS/MS and toxicokinetics study
Objective To establish a specific and sensitive LC-MS/MS method for determination of S,S,S-tributyltrithiophosphate in rat plasma and its application for toxicokinetic study.Methods Plasma samples were pretreated by protein precipitation method using beclomethasone as internal standard.Sample separation was carried on Agilent Zorbax SB-C18 column(50×2.1 mm,3.5 μm).Mobile phase was 0.1%formic acid Water)-acetonitrile/methanol(V∶V=1∶1)withthegradient elution.Theflowratewasset at0.8 mL·min-1.The positive ionization mode of electrospray(ESI)source was used by multiple reaction monitoring(MRM).Results The method was linear over the concentration ranges of 2-800 μg·L-1(r≥0.99).The accuracy(RE)and inter/intra day precision(RSD)was both within±15%.The overall recovery was 89.0%,and the CV was 1.1%.Conclusion The method was rapid,sensitive and reliable,and could be applied successfully for determination of S,S,S-tributyltrithiophosphate in rat plasma and toxicokinetic study.
