Abstract:
Objective To establish a sensitive,accurate and simple method for the determination of methotrexate and methotrexate polyglutamates(MTXPG2 and MTXPG3)in human erythrocytes.Methods A dual three element gradient liquid chromatograph with a fluorescence detector was used,the C18-WP column(20 mm ×4 mm,5μm)was used as the online SPE column,and the Athena C18-WP column(150 mm x4.6 mm,3 μm)was used as the analytical column.Erythrocyte lysate was precipitated with zinc sulphate-10％formic acid methanol(100:90,v/v),and postcolumn photo-oxidation of MTXPGs to fluorescent analytes using H2O2.The fluorescence excitation wavelength was 274 nm,the emission wavelength was 470 nm,the column temperature was 40 ℃,and the injection volume was 100 μL.The specificity,standard curve,lower limit of quantitation,precision,recovery and stability of the method were investigated.Results MTX,MTXPG2 and MTXPG3 had good linearity in the range of 12.5-400.0 nmol·L-1.The standard curve of MTX was y=763.8x-2 961.1(R2=0.999 5),and the extraction recovery rate was 60.7％-66.1％;the standard curve of MTXPG2 was y=1 017.8x-239.8(R2=0.998 4),and the extraction recovery rate was 67.2％-67.3％;the standard curve of MTXPG3 was y=1 069.1x-819.6(R2=0.999 4),the extraction recovery rate was 62.9％-70.1％.Intra-day precision RSD＜8.8％,inter-day precision RSD＜10.8％.Conclusion This method is accurate and reproducibility,and the online solid-phose extraction enrichment and separation of target compounds simplify the sample pretreatment steps,improve the analysis efficiency,and is suitable for detecting the concentration of MTX,MTXPG2 and MTXPG3 in erythrocytes of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
