An analytical method was developed for the determination of enantiomers of dencichine in plasma. Sample extraction from plasma was achieved by a solid-phase extraction (SPE) procedure using a C(18) cartridge, with carbocisteine as the internal standard. Plasma was deproteinized using inorganic acid and derivatizated before the SPE. Chiral separation of dencichine enantiomers was achieved by pre-column derivatization using o-phthaldialdehyde (OPA) and the chiral thiol N-isobutanoyl-L-cysteine (NIBC) to form diastereoisomeric isoindole derivatives that were separable by ODS column using a gradient solvent programme. The column eluent was monitored using mass spectrometry (MS). The conditions of MS detection were optimized, and selected ion monitoring was used to selectively detect D-dencichine and its arrangement isomer. High sensitivity and selectivity were obtained using this method. The limit of detection was determined to be 10 ng/ml for D-dencichine and 8 ng/ml for L-dencichine in plasma. The linearity was demonstrated over a wide range of concentrations, from 0.5 to 50 microg/ml for both enatiomers. The intra- and inter-day precision (C.V.), studied at four concentrations, was less than 7.0%. No interferences from endogenous amino acids and isomers of dencichine were found. The method was suitable for pharmacokinetic studies of dencichine enantiomers.
