This paper describes sensitive and reliable determination of midazolam (MDZ) and its major metabolite 1'-hydroxymidazolam (1-OHMDZ) in human plasma by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) with a sonic spray ionization (SSI) interface. MDZ, 1-OHMDZ and diazepam as an internal standard were extracted from 1ml of alkalinized plasma using n-hexane-chloroform (70:30, v/v). The extract was injected into an analytical column (YMC-Pak Pro C(18), 50mmx2.0mmi.d.). The mobile phase for separation consisted of 10mM ammonium acetate and methanol (50:50, v/v) and was delivered at a flow-rate of 0.2ml/min. The drift voltage was 100V. The sampling aperture was heated at 120 degrees C and the shield temperature was 260 degrees C. The total time for chromatographic separation was less than 16min. The validated concentration ranges of this method were 0.25-50ng/ml for both MDZ and 1-OHMDZ. Mean recoveries were 93.6% for MDZ and 86.6% for 1-OHMDZ. Intra- and inter-day coefficient variations were less than 6.5 and 5.5% for MDZ, and 6.1 and 5.7% for 1-OHMDZ at 0.3, 4, 20 and 40ng/ml. The limits of quantification were 0.25ng/ml for both MDZ and 1-OHMDZ. This method was sensitive and reliable enough for pharmacokinetic studies on healthy volunteers, and was applied for the measurement of CYP3A activity in humans after an intravenous (1mg) and a single-oral administration (2mg) of subtherapeutic MDZ dose.
