Description

HPLC-MS/MS method for simultaneously determining concentration of 14 antidepressants in human plasma
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of clinical blood concentration monitoring, in particular to an HPLC-MS/MS method for simultaneously determining the concentration of 14 antidepressants in human plasma.
Background
In recent years, with the development of psychological hygiene, the prevention and treatment of mental diseases are more and more emphasized by various social circles. However, mental diseases are extremely challenging to treat, and mainly appear in the aspects of poor medication compliance, narrow medication window, serious toxic and side effects and the like of patients in the psychiatric department. Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) plays a crucial role in the treatment of psychiatric disorders, and there is a great deal of evidence that monitoring serum or plasma drug concentrations has therapeutic and economic benefits, providing not only patient compliance, possible therapeutic response, pharmacokinetic-related data, but also valuable information for the occurrence and prevention of drug interactions and potential side effects.
High performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) with high specificity and high sensitivity has been widely used in clinical practice for the accurate and precise determination of drug concentration in plasma or serum. When HPLC-MS/MS is used for routine clinical TDM, at least two ion transitions are typically required for identifying each compound, and there is a significant gap in the different analyte responses in plasma (or serum). Thus, efficient simultaneous measurement of multiple compounds remains a significant challenge. In addition, although a large number of prior art analytical methods have been reported using liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) or solid-phase extraction (SPE) as a sample pretreatment method, these analytical methods are time-consuming and expensive in terms of reagent consumption. Recent reports have developed efficient and environmentally friendly sample preparation methods such as Liquid Phase Micro Extraction (LPME), Solid Phase Micro Extraction (SPME) and serial dispersion-liquid micro extraction (TDLLME) methods that provide better purification capacity but are complex and expensive and not suitable for routine clinical testing. Therefore, the applicant believes that it is necessary to establish a convenient, rapid and comprehensive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis method for determining the concentration of an antidepressant in human plasma based on the consensus guideline for neuropsychiatric drug detection for neuropsychological and pharmacogenomics treatment issued by the AGNP.

The long-term clinical practice shows that the method is stable, economical and efficient. The reference range of treatment and the concentration of vigilance for clinical use were established according to the third edition of the AGNP guidelines. Escitalopram is a dextrorotatory isomer of citalopram and cannot be distinguished in the method, so the escitalopram and citalopram are subjected to statistical analysis together. The antidepressant drug samples tested in this application are mostly from outpatient patients, and the first three drugs tested in the samples were sertraline, (escitalopram) and duloxetine, respectively. According to the requirements of the AGNP guidelines, the effective plasma concentrations of venlafaxine, fluoxetine, clomipramine, and amitriptyline are the sum of the parent drug and its active metabolites.

The method uses simple protein precipitation pretreatment to establish a comprehensive, stable and efficient HPLC-MS/MS method for simultaneously measuring 14 antidepressants, and is used for routine clinical TDM monitoring. The varieties monitored by the method comprise AGNP guide recommended application TDM grade: the method is characterized in that 5 types of medicines (amitriptyline, nortriptyline, clomipramine, norclomipramine and citalopram) are recommended in the I grade (strong recommendation), 5 types of medicines (duloxetine, escitalopram, fluvoxamine, sertraline and venlafaxine) are recommended in the II grade (strong recommendation), 5 types of medicines (mianserin, paroxetine, norvenlafaxine, fluoxetine and norfluoxetine) are recommended in the III grade (useful), and most antidepressants on the market in China are basically contained in selected medicines.
Tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline, nortriptyline, clomipramine and norclomipramine, although less commonly used in clinical applications (even without clinical samples in past clinical applications), have a toxic concentration very close to the therapeutic concentration range of such drugs, which means that south strongly recommends TDM drugs, which are retained in the assay for toxic sample screening.
Compared with SPE, LLE or other pretreatment methods, the method selects a simple, economic and rapid protein precipitation method in the aspect of selecting the sample pretreatment method. Protein precipitation can remove proteins and other potential interferents, is convenient and quick, and is particularly suitable for high-throughput biological analysis such as conventional TDM. In addition to this, the protein precipitation method minimizes the ion suppression or ion enhancement of the matrix and protects the column.
The method of the application fully combines the recommended range of the guidelines and the requirements of clinical samples on the setting of the linear range of each drug, and the linear range comprises the effective blood concentration range and the laboratory warning concentration of all drugs. Considering that toxic screening and the like may occur in clinical application to cause the plasma drug concentration of a sample to be super-linear, the dilution effect is considered in the methodological verification. In clinical applications to date, no super-linear samples were found.
In the aspect of stability investigation, the stability is investigated by combining the practical situation of the laboratory, and the four stability conditions are respectively as follows: storing at room temperature for 24h, extracting the sample, placing in a sample tray for 24h, repeatedly freezing and thawing at-80 ℃ for three times, and storing at-20 ℃ for 30 days, which is suitable for routine TDM operation flow in laboratory.
To ensure the accuracy of the analysis method, in addition to the laboratory routine configuration of the satellite quality control samples, the laboratory was also conducted with multiple units and institutions for laboratory quality assessment while participating in and passing the LGC therapeutic drug monitoring capacity test (LGC is the institute for chemical and biological assay specified in the uk nations).
The embodiments of the present invention are preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments, so: all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of the invention are covered by the protection scope of the invention.
