Waters社製超高速液体クロマトグラフィー (UPLC) とタンデム四重極型質量分析装置 (TQD) によるLC-MS/MS法によりシロリムス濃度測定を行なった。超高速液体クロマトグラフィーによるシロリムスサンプルの分離にはオクタデシルカラム、移動相Aに0.1%ギ酸、20 mM 酢酸アンモニウムを添加した超純水、移動相Bに0.1%ギ酸、20 mM酢酸アンモニウムを添加したメタノールを用いた。シロリムスサンプルのオクタデシルカラムからの分離・溶出は流速0.25 mL/分、移動相A : 移動相B を以下の濃度勾配で変動させることにより行い、総測定時間は10分間であった。移動相A : 移動相B = 50% : 50%からスタートし最初の2分間で移動相A : 移動相B = 0% : 100%に達するように勾配をかけ、移動相B: 100%の状態を5分継続、0.1分の間に移動相A : 移動相B = 50% : 50%に戻しそのまま残り2.9分間平衡状態にした。分離したシロリムスサンプルはエレクトロスプレーイオン化法(ESI positive mode)により定量した。定量に用いたシロリムスの質量電荷比はm/z 931.7 (プリカーサーイオン)< 864.6 (プロダクトイオン)、内部標準アスコマイシンの質量電荷比はm/z 809.7 (プリカーサーイオン)<756.5 (プロダクトイオン)とし、結果はWaters社のMassLynx4.1ソフトによって計算した。定量に用いた組織重量・血液量をもとに組織および血中シロリムス濃度を算出した。
6. Evaluation of sirolimus concentration in dermis and blood by LC-MS / MS
The sirolimus concentration was measured by the LC-MS / MS method using Waters ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and a tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer (TQD). For separation of silolimus samples by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography, octadecyl column, ultrapure water with 0.1% formic acid and 20 mM ammonium acetate added to mobile phase A, and methanol with 0.1% formic acid and 20 mM ammonium acetate added to mobile phase B. Was used. Separation and elution of the sirolimus sample from the octadecyl column was performed by varying the flow rate of 0.25 mL / min and mobile phase A: mobile phase B with the following concentration gradient, and the total measurement time was 10 minutes. Mobile phase A: Mobile phase B = 50%: Start from 50% and in the first 2 minutes Mobile phase A: Mobile phase B = 0%: Gradient to reach 100%, Mobile phase B: 100% state Was continued for 5 minutes, and within 0.1 minutes, mobile phase A: mobile phase B = 50%: 50% was returned to the equilibrium state for the remaining 2.9 minutes. The separated sirolimus samples were quantified by electrospray ionization (ESI positive mode). The mass-to-charge ratio of silolimus used for quantification was m / z 931.7 (precursor ion) <864.6 (product ion), and the mass-to-charge ratio of internal standard asomycin was m / z 809.7 (precursor ion) <756.5 (product ion). Results were calculated using Waters' MassLynx 4.1 software. Tissue and blood sirolimus concentrations were calculated based on the tissue weight and blood volume used for quantification.
