Abstract:
:The amphetamine molecule contains a chiral center and its enantiomers exhibit differences in pharmacological effects, with the S-enantiomer mediating most of the central nervous system stimulating activity. The majority of prescribed amphetamine consists of the pure S-enantiomer, but therapeutic formulations containing the R-enantiomer in various proportions are also available. Illegal amphetamine remains available mainly as a racemic mixture of the R- and S-enantiomers. To distinguish between legal and illegal consumption of amphetamine a method for enantiomeric separation and quantification of R/S-amphetamine in serum was developed and validated using ultra-high performance supercritical fluid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPSFC-MS/MS). Sample preparation prior to UHPSFC-MS/MS analysis was performed by a semi-automated liquid-liquid extraction method. The UHPSFC-MS/MS method used a Chiralpak AD-3 column with a mobile phase consisting of CO2 and 0.1% ammonium hydroxide in 2-propanol/methanol (50/50, v/v). The injection volume was 2 μL and run time was 4 minutes. MS/MS detection was performed with positive electrospray ionization and two multiple reaction monitoring transitions (m/z 136.1 > 119.0 and m/z 136.1 > 91.0). The calibration range was 12.5-1,000 nM for each analyte. The between-assay relative standard deviations were in the range of 1.3-3.0%. Recovery was 73% and matrix effects ranged from 95 to 100% when corrected with internal standard. After development and validation, the method has been successfully implemented in our laboratory for both separation and quantification of R/S-amphetamine and has proved to be a reliable and useful tool for distinguishing intake of R- and S-amphetamine in authentic patient samples.
