  •   Objective  To establish a LC-MS method of cisatracurium assay in human plasma for clinical therapeutic drug monitoring.  Method  Propafenone Hydrochloride was used as the internal standard. The plasma samples were treated with 2% formic acid aqueous solution and acetonitrile containing the internal standard to precipitate protein. Agilent SB-C18 column was used for gradient elution with the mobile phase of 0.1% formic acid-water and 0.1% formic acid-acetonitrile solution at 35 ℃ and 0.3 ml/min flow rate. The degradation products of cisatracurium m/z 464.6-358.4 and propafenone hydrochloride m/z 342.2-116.2 were identified by ESI positive-ion detection.  Results  There was a linear rage of cisatracurium in 2-500 ng/ml (r=0.996 5) with a detection limit of 2 ng/ml. The intra-day coefficients of variation (CVs) were less than 16.00%, and the inter-day CVs were less than 6.00%. The mean recoveries were in the range of 97.63%-111.93%. The plasma samples were stable for 4 hours at room temperature, 14 days at -80 ℃ and 24 hours after pretreated.  Conclusion  This method was simple, accurate, fast and repeatable for the cisatracurium assay in human plasma.

  • 顺式阿曲库铵（cisatracurium, CA）是一种新型中时效非去极化肌松药，其结构式如图1，因其代谢方式（Hofmann elimination，霍夫曼降解）独特，同时释放较低水平的组胺，在临床麻醉过程中被广泛应用。因与其他非去极化肌松药一样，存在术后肌松残留作用[1]，且已成为麻醉后呼吸系统不良事件的主要原因。因此，为保证患者围术期安全，对顺式阿曲库铵进行血药浓度监测十分必要。

    CA的稳定性主要受温度和pH影响，温度和pH升高可加快其消除，因此离体后的生物样本稳定性是血药浓度监测方法建立的一个难点。国内外文献报道测定人血浆中CA浓度的方法主要为高效液相色谱荧光检测法（HPLC-FD）及高效液相色谱串联质谱法（LC-MS）[2-6]，但样本前处理方法较为复杂。本研究在既往文献报道的基础上，建立了一种更加简便、准确、快速、稳定的LC-MS方法，适用于人血浆中CA的血药浓度测定。

  • CA标准储备液：精密称取CA 10 mg置10 ml容量瓶，加入2%甲酸甲醇溶液至刻度，溶解混匀，配制成相当于CA质量浓度为1 mg/ml的储备液，于冰箱（4 ℃）备用。

    CA标准工作液：精密吸取CA储备液适量，用50%甲醇水溶液配制成系列浓度的工作溶液，其中，CA质量浓度分别为5 000、2 500、1 000、500、250、100、20 ng/ml。

    PPF标准储备液：精密称取PPF 0.4 mg置2 ml容量瓶，加甲醇至刻度，溶解混匀，配制成相当于PPF质量浓度为0.2 mg/ml的储备液，于冰箱（4 ℃）备用。

    • 2.3.   血浆样品处理

  • 精密吸取血浆30 μl，加入2%甲酸水溶液30 μl，振摇10 s，再加50 μl含内标乙腈溶液后旋涡振荡10 s，12 000 r/ min离心10 min，转移上清液置进样瓶，进样。

    • 2.4.   标准曲线及最低定量限

  • 取空白人血浆，精密加入不同浓度的对照品溶液，配制成CA浓度为500、250、100、50、25、10、2 ng/ml的血浆标准品。以浓度为X轴，样品峰与内标峰的比值为Y轴，进行线性回归，经“1/X”权重得回归方程分别为：Y = 7.43×10–3 + 1.99 × 10–2X (r = 0.996 5)。结果表明，CA在2~500 ng/ml内，线性关系良好。本方法CA的定量下限为2 ng/ml。

    • 2.5.   系统精密度与准确度（回收率）

    基质效应=（空白基质中添加工作溶液峰面积/重组溶液中添加工作溶液峰面积）×100%

    CA的基质效应为52%（RSD 2.09%~15.33%）。PPF的基质效应为96.71%（RSD4.6%）。

    • 2.8.   方法在治疗药物监测中的应用

  • 采用肌松仪监测患者注射苯磺顺式阿曲库铵后神经肌肉阻滞程度。给予4个成串刺激（train of four stimulation，TOF），给药后，T4最先发生衰减，T1最后衰减。当T1消失即仪器显示为0时，肌肉阻滞程度最大，随后逐渐恢复。分别在T0（T1消失至0）、TOFr 50（恢复至50%）、TOFr 90（恢复至90%）时采集输液对侧动脉血3 ml，并及时保存于4 ℃冰箱中。采用建立的方法测定样本血药浓度，结果见表4。同时记录T0（给药结束到T1消失至0）、TOFr50（给药结束到恢复至50%）、TOFr90（给药结束到恢复至90%）发生所需时间，结果见表5、表6。

3.   讨论

  • CA的代谢途径主要为Hoffman消除[7]，Hoffman消除受温度和pH值的影响。有研究显示[8]，将苯磺顺阿曲库铵注射液稀释于20%的甲醇中，室温下，10~15 min即可检测到大量降解产物N-甲基四氢罂粟碱和单季丙烯酸酯。血浆的pH值在7.4左右。我们发现，在CA血浆样本前处理过程中，如果不加入酸调节pH值，即使在-80 ℃的储存条件下，CA仍然会很快降解（结果未在文中体现）。为此，我们考察了不同比例的甲酸，最终确定了在样本前处理过程中加入2%的甲酸能够保证血浆中CA的稳定性。在既往报道中，多是加入一定浓度的硫酸来调控pH值[2-6]。硫酸为有机酸，对测定仪器尤其是质谱仪的离子源损害很大。同时，加入硫酸并不能保证室温条件下样本的长时间稳定（<4 h）[9]。本研究结果显示，加入2%的甲酸，室温下样本稳定性可保持在24 h以上。此外，我们的样本前处理过程并不需要经过离心-上清液真空浓缩或氮吹浓缩-复溶-离心取上清液等[2-6, 9]复杂过程，更为省时、省力。经验证，本研究建立的方法测定CA血浆样本的精密度、准确度和稳定性均符合方法学要求。该方法更加简便、准确、快速、稳定，可应用于临床CA治疗药物浓度的监测。
