A simple, sensitive and selective liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) method was developed for simultaneous quantitation of four isosteroidal alkaloids (peimine, peiminine, peimisine, and delavine) in rat plasma. Carbamazepine was selected as internal standard (IS). The LC-MS-MS system coupled with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source was performed in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The transitions of the isosteroidal alkaloids executed as following: m/z 432.4 -> 414.4 for peimine, m/z 430.5 -> 412.4 for peiminine, m/z 428.4 -> 114.2 for peimisine, m/z 416.5 -> 105.2 for delavine, and m/z 237.2 -> 194.2 for carbamazepine (IS). Sample preparation was performed with liquid-liquid extraction using ethyl acetate after carbamazepine (IS) spiked. The separation was performed on a Welch C18 column (3.5 mu m, 2.1 x 100 mm), and a gradient elution of methanol and 5 mmol L-1 ammonium acetate in 0.1 % formic acid aqueous solution was used. The retention time was less than 8.0 min. Linearity was obtained over the concentration range of 0.2-200 ng mL(-1) for peimine and peiminine, and 1.0-200 ng mL(-1) for peimisine and delavine. The method was linear for all analytes with correlation coefficients > 0.995. The intra-day and inter-day accuracy and precision of the assay were acceptable. This method has been successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae extract after oral administration to rats.
