Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish a fast liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method for determination of dexamethasone in facial mask.
METHODS The facial mask samples were added prednisone as internal standard, then extracted by saturated sodium chloride and acetonitrile, injected and analyzed after purified by C
18 powder. An SB-C
18 column (50 mm×2.1 mm, 1.8 μm) was used as stationary phase and methanol-0.1% formic acid (90:10) was used as the mobile phase. The flow rate was 0.2 mL·min
-1 and the column temperature was 35℃. The scan mode was multi reaction monitoring.
RESULTS The linear of dexamethasone acted well in range of 0.2-10 μg·mL
-1(
r=0.999 8). The recoveries of high, middle and low concentration were 104.4%, 95.8% and 93.3%, the RSDs were 1.0%, 0.3% and 1.1% respectively. There was one sample detected for 3.51 mg·kg
-1dexamethasone in 40 actual samples.
CONCLUSION This method has been validated for determination of dexamethasone in facial mask accurately and rapidly.
