Abstract:
Objective To establish an UHPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of uracil (U) and dihydrouracil (UH2) in human plasma. Methods A positive ion detection mode was adopted on the Agilent 6460A mass spectrometer. Chlorouracil was used as the internal standard. 3% bovine serum albumin was used as surrogate plasma matrix. The pretreatment of plasma sample was completed based on liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate. The chromatographic separation was achieved on an Agilent Poroshell 120 SB-Aq (2.1 mm×100 mm, 2.7 μm) column with gradient elution. The mobile phase was 5 mmol/L ammonium acetate aqueous solution and acetonitrile solution. The flow rate was 0.3 ml/min. The column temperature was 30°C. The injection volume was 5 μl. Results The linear range of uracil and dihydrouracil was 10.0-1500.0 ng/ml. Both of uracil and dihydrouracil had good linear relationship with correlation coefficient (r)>0.990. Both of inter- and intra-day precision was <15%. Conclusion The established method is simple, selective, and suitable for the determination of U and UH2 in human plasma.
