Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To establish an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS) method for simultaneous detection of 12 kinds of rodenticides such as tetramine, warfarin and rodenticide in suspected poisoning patients' residual food, vomit, gastric lavage, serum and urine. METHODS: The residual food, vomit, gastric lavage, serum and urine of patients with suspected rodenticide poisoning were collected. The food, vomit, gastric lavage and urine samples were added with ammonium acetate at a concentration of 2 mol/L, and than were repeatedly extracted twice by ethyl acetate. The serum sample was extracted by adding acetonitrile. After the sample was dried by nitrogen, it was dissolved in methanol ∶ammonium acetate(60 ∶40, V/V), and the supernatant was centrifuged and separated by a C18 column, and quantified by a standard curve method. Samples were detected by HPLC-MS. RESULTS: The linearity of the 12 kinds of rodenticides in the quantitative range of residual food, vomit, gastric lavage, serum and urine in patients with suspected rodenticide poisoning was good, and the correlation coefficient was 0.992 3-0.999 9. The detection limit of food, vomit or gastric lavage was 0.03-0.14 μg/kg, and that in serum and urine were 0.10-0.30 and 0.02-0.04 μg/L, respectively. The standard recovery rate was 84.4%-114.0%, and the within-run and between-run relative standard deviations were 2.7%-6.2% and 2.4%-9.5%, respectively.CONCLUSION: The method has advantages of simple operation, high efficiency and good accuracy. This method is suitable for emergency treatment of poisoning events caused by rodent drugs or poisoning.
