Simple, sensitive and robust liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS) methods were developed and validated for the determination of lipopeptide polymyxins and glycopeptide vancomycin in rat plasma. The effect of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) concentration on sample recoveries (peak area of sample recovered from plasma/peak area of sample from neat solvent solutions) was studied and an optimized concentration of 30% TCA were determined that gives the best sample recovery for the peptides from rat plasma. The effect of the TCA concentration on the chromatographic behavior of peptides was studied on a Phenomenex Jupiter C18 5? 300? 50mm×2mm column using a mobile phase with a pH of 2.8. Other than protein precipitation, TCA also acted as ion pairing reagent and was only present in the samples but not in the mobile phases. The data demonstrated that by increasing the TCA concentration, the analyte retention and sensitivity were improved. The absence of TCA in mobile phase helped to reduce the ion source contamination and to achieve good reproducibility. The plasma method was linearly calibrated from 5 to 5000ng/mL for polymyxins with precisions to be of 2.3-10.8%, and accuracies to be 91.7-107.4% for polymyxin B1, B2, E1, E2, respectively. For vancomycin the calibration is from 1 to 5000ng/mL with precisions to be of 7.8-10.3 and accuracies to be 96.2-102.0%. The LLOQs corresponding with a coefficient of variation less than 20% were 7.5, 18.1, 7.3, 5.0 and 1.0ng/mL for polymyxin B1, B2, E1, E2 and vancomycin, respectively.
