Development of a LC‐MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of metoprolol and its metabolites, α‐hydroxymetoprolol and O‐desmethylmetoprolol, in rat plasma: application to the herb–drug interaction study of metoprolol and breviscapine

Abstract: A simple, specific and sensitive LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of metoprolol (MET), α-hydroxymetoprolol (HMT) and O-desmethylmetoprolol (DMT) in rat plasma. The plasma samples were prepared by protein precipitation, then the separation of the analytes was performed on an Agilent HC-C18 column (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 µm) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, and post-column splitting (1:4) was used to give optimal interface flow rates (0.2 mL/min) for MS detection; the total ru… Show more

“…Recently Rao et al (2015) developed an LC-MS/MS method for the determination of MET, HM and ODM in rat plasma after administration of 40 mg/kg of MET to rats for DHI. At 40 mg/kg dose, MET will not show first-pass extraction in rat, which may lead to potential bias in the pharmacokinetic analysis of MET, HM and ODM in DDI and DHI issues.…”

“…In addition, the strength of the current developed analytical method enables sensitive quantification of multiple drugs. This adds to existing methods that have been designed to measure specific drug classes and lower number of analytes [21,25,32–34]. The high sensitivity of this method also requires minimal serum volumes (20 µL) and therefore could be used in preclinical or clinical studies that have limited available serum.…”

“…Metoprolol and related metabolites are primarily excreted in the urine. The identification of these compounds in urine by LC/MS has been described extensively [20][21][22]. Urinary metabolite abundance was determined using predicted m/z values and associated peak intensities.…”
