A validated high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-mass spectrometry method has been developed for the simultaneous assay of leukotrienes (LTs) B4 and B5, derived from omega-6 arachidonic acid and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), respectively, produced by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs) stimulated with calcium ionophore A23187. The HPLC separation of PMNL ether extracts was performed on a reversed-phase column using a gradient elution program of 15 mM ammonium acetate and MeOH. Detection was performed by electrospray ionization-single quadripole mass spectrometry using single ion reaction monitoring in the negative mode at m/z 333.3 [M-H](-) and m/z 335.2 for prostaglandin B2/LTB5 and LTB4, respectively. The calibration curves for LTB4 and LTB5 were linear over the ranges 165-990 and 0.825-13.2 ng/ml, respectively. The lower limit of quantification for LTB5 was 0.66 ng/ml. The mean absolute recoveries for LTB4 and LTB5 were 81+/-4.8% and 82+/-5.9%, respectively. The method is precise with mean interday CVs for LTB4 and LTB5 within 7.1-10.7, and 3.8-9.4%, respectively, and accurate (range of interday deviations for LTB4 and LTB5 were -7.8 to 1, and -5 to 9% , respectively). The method has been validated and is being applied to the simultaneous quantification of the leukotrienes B4 and B5 in stimulated PMNLs in a clinical protocol studying the influence of a diet enriched in omega-3 PUFA on various surrogate markers of inflammation in young cystic fibrosis patients.
