Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To develop a rapid method for determination of aconitine in biology samples by LC-MS/MS. METHODS Aconitine and the internal standard tramadol were extracted from biology samples using diethyl ether -dichloromethane (3∶2), and separated on a Venusil Mp-C
18 column. Detection was carried out by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) on a Q-trapTM LC-MS/MS system with an ESI interface in the positive ion mode. RESULTS The linear arrang was 3-5 000 ng
903;mL
-1. The accuracy was 1.8% and the intra- and inter-day precision were 2.5% and 4.6%, respectively. The recovery was between 85.61% and 89.04%. CONCLUSION This method is simple and rapid, which can be used for the determination of aconitine in biology samples by LC-MS/MS.
