A rapid and sensitive method involving liquid chromatography electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) coupled to an intracerebral microdialysis technique was developed for the determination and pharmacokinetic investigation of tramadol and its major active metabolite O-desmethyltramadol (ODT) in rat brain. The microdialysis samples were separated on a C18 column and elutedwith a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water-formic acid (50: 50: 0.1; v/v/v) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The ESI-MS/MS spectra were performed in electrospray positive ion mode, and the analytes were detected by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) of the transitions m/z [M + H](+) 264.3 -> 58.2 for tramadol, m/z [M + H](+) 250.3 -> 58.3 for ODT, and m/z [M + H](+) 379.4 -> 264.0 for ambroxol (internal standard; IS). The total run time was 4.0 min. A lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was achieved as 1 ng/mL for tramadol and 0.5 ng/mL for ODT, with excellent linearity over a concentration range of 1 similar to 500 ng/mL (r > 0.99) for tramadol and 0.5 similar to 50 ng/mL for ODT (r > 0.99), respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic studies of tramadol and ODT in rat brain. Copyright (C) 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
