Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A rapid, sensitive and selective liquid chromatography/electrospray mass spectrometry (LC/ES-MS) method was developed for the quantitative determination of the anaesthetic benzodiazepine midazolam (MID) in human saliva and plasma from patients undergoing anesthesia procedures. Biological samples spiked with diazepam-d5, the internal standard, were extracted into diethyl ether. Compounds were separated on a Xterra RP18 column using a mobile phase of acetonitrile/formic acid 0.1% at a flow rate of 0.25 mL/min under a linear gradient. Column effluents were analyzed using MS with an ES source in the positive ionization mode. Calibration curves were linear in the concentration ranges of 1-250 and 0.2-25 ng/mL in plasma and saliva, respectively. The limits of detection were 0.5 ng/mL in plasma and 0.1 ng/mL in saliva, using a 0.5-mL sample volume. The recoveries of the spiked samples were above 65%. The method was applied to ten real samples from patients undergoing midazolam treatment.
