OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for blood concentration determination of Fentanyl buccal tablet in Beagle dogs, and to study its pharmacokinetics. METHODS: A total of 6 Beagle dogs were given Fentanyl buccal tablet 1 tablet (675 μg/tablet, buccally). The blood samples were collected 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 240, 360, 480, 720 min after administration. After precipitated by methanol, LC-MS/MS method [the determination was performed on Agilent C18 column with mobile phase consisted of methanol-0.02% formic acid aqueous solution (95 ∶ 5, V/V) at the flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The sample size was 5 μL and the column temperature was 30 ℃. Mass spectrometric conditions: electrospray ionization source in the multiple reaction monitoring mode was used to detect ions, fentanyl citrate: m/z 337.1→188.0; carbamazepine (internal standand): m/z 237.1→194.1] was used to determine the blood concentration of fentanyl citrate; the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by using DAS 2.0 software. RESULTS: The linear range of fentanyl citrate were 1.0-325.0 ng/mL(r=0.998); inter-day RSDs of precision test were lower than 5% (n=6), and intra-day RSDs were lower than 6% (n=3); average recoveries were (94.65±6.32)%-(99.21±3.24)% (n=6). RSDs of matrix effect was lower than 15% (n=6); RE of stability tests were within ±6.2% (n=3). The pharmacokinetic parameters of Fentanyl buccal tablet in Beagle dogs included that tmax was (32.5±6.1) min; t1/2 was (211.8±47.4) min; cmax was (40.3±1.9) ng/mL; CLz/F was (0.006±0.001) L/(min·kg); AUC0-720 min was (7 564.0±1 576.7) ng·min/mL(n=6). CONCLUSIONS: The method is simple, feasible and accurate. Fentanyl buccal tablet have good fast-release and slow-release biphasic release characteristics in Beagle dogs.
