Abstract

OBJECTIVE: An LC-MS/MS method for determination of Cotinine and Trans-3’-Hydroxycotinine in human serum was developed. Establish a methodology basis for studying tobacco exposure and health.METHOD: After protein precipitation with acetonitrile, the analytes and internal standard (I.S.), Cotinine-d3, were separated on a ZORBAX SB-Phenyl analytical column using the mobile phase of methanol (containing 0.3% formic acid) and water (containing 0.15% formic acid). Detection was carried out by electrospray positive ionization mass spectrometry in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. RESULT: Cotinine , Trans-3’-Hydroxycotinine and I.S. were eluted at 2.56 min, 1.58min and 2.56 min, respectively. The calibration curves were linear and ranges for cotinine, trans-3’-Hydroxycotinine were respectively 0.05-500 ng·mL-1 and 0.50~1250 ng·mL-1. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was 0.05 ng·mL-1 for cotinine and 0.50 ng·mL-1 for trans-3’-Hydroxycotinine.Inter- and intra-day relative standard deviations were both less than 11%, and the relative errors were within ±7%. The mean extract recoveries were 98.54% (Cotinine)and 100.24% (trans-3’-Hydroxycotinine). CONCLUSION: It is a rapid, sensitive, selective and reliable method for the determination of cotinine and trans-3’-Hydroxycotinine in human serum in human serum. The cutoff value can be determined by measuring the content of cotinine in human serum, which provides a basis for distinguishing between smoking and non-smoking.
