- 2.LC/MS/MS method
- Zorbax SB-C18 was used as the chromatographic column. Water (containing 0.2% formic acid) -acetonitrile (50:50 by volume) was used as the mobile phase. The ESI ion source was used and multiple reaction monitoring was used for detection. Plasma samples were collected from dogs after oral methadone at 80 mg.kg. The established LC / MS / MS method was used to determine the plasma concentration of methadone and calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters. Results The methadone linearity was 0.05 10.00 mg.L (r = 0.997 2). The intra-day and inter-day precision are less than 12.2%, and the accuracy are within 8.19%. Conclusion This method is suitable for the pharmacokinetic study of methadone.
