  •   Objective  To establish a method for the determination of cisatracurium besylate in human plasma by UPLC-MS/MS which could be used in the monitoring of drug residual in plasma of elderly patients after operation.   Methods  The samples were precipitated with 0.1% formic acid-acetonitrile solution and separated by an SHISEIDO ADME column(3.0 mm×100 mm, 2.7 μm) for isocratic elution with the mobile phase of water containing 0.1% formic acid with 2 mmol/L ammonium acetate and acetonitrile (30 : 70, V/V). MS condition was optimized in the positive ion detection mode by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM), along with the Agilent jet stream electrospray source interface (AJS-ESI). The precursors to the product ion transitions were m/z 464.3→358.2 for cisatracurium besylate and m/z 557.4→356.3 for vecuronium bromide (the internal standard, IS). Plasma samples of elderly patients undergoing spinal surgery were collected after anesthesia induction, at the end of surgery, 0.5 h and 1 h after surgery, and from the blood bags while autologous blood transfusion, and stored in cryopreservation tubes with 2% formic acid solution. Then the contents of cisatracurium besylate were determined. The effects of autogenous blood transfusion on plasma concentration of cisatracurium besylate in elderly patients after surgery evaluated.   Results  The calibration curve was linear in the range of 20-5 000 ng/ml for cisatracurium besylate in human plasma, r=0.999 7. The intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy were good (RSD<10%, RE<±10%). The matrix effect of different concentrations was 71.88%~80.64%. The recovery of different concentrations was 83.62%~88.87%. The recovery of vecuronium bromide (IS) was 125.91%, which conformed with the requirement of methodological validation. There was a certain degree of residual cisatracurium besylate in the plasma of elderly patients, so the extubation time should be strictly controlled and the stay time of patients in the anesthesia recovery room should be appropriately extended.   Conclusion  The method is sensitive, accurate, and efficient, which could be used for the determination of cisatracurium besylate in human plasma of elderly patients after operation.

  • 苯磺酸顺阿曲库铵为临床常用的中长效肌肉松弛药,苏醒期药物在体内的残留导致残余肌松的发生,成为导致麻醉后发生呼吸系统不良事件的主要原因,尤其是老年患者,术后残留会带来更严重的不良后果[1],因此对老年患者手术后血浆中苯磺酸顺阿曲库铵的残留进行监测有重要意义。苯磺酸顺阿曲库铵易发生霍夫曼降解,温度和pH值的升高会加速降解[2],因此,临床收集的血浆样本的稳定保存至关重要。本研究在既往文献报道的HPLC法及高效液相色谱-质谱(LC-MS)法[3-6]基础上,开发了一种用灵敏、准确、高效的超高效液相色谱-串联质谱(UPLC-MS/MS)测定人血浆中苯磺酸顺阿曲库铵浓度的方法,有效避免了苯磺酸顺阿曲库铵的降解,对老年患者手术后血浆中苯磺酸顺阿曲库铵浓度随时间变化的规律进行研究,探讨自体血回输对患者体内苯磺酸顺阿曲库铵浓度的影响。

    • 取空白人血浆样品、模拟血浆样品(苯磺酸顺阿曲库铵浓度为5 000 ng/ml)以及手术中采集的人血浆样品,分别按“2.1.4”项下进行血浆样品前处理后进样,获得相应的零点样品、模拟样品及人血浆样品的色谱图;空白人血浆样品处理时以含0.1%甲酸的乙腈溶液代替内标溶液,获得双空白样品的色谱图。结果表明该方法选择性良好,见图1

    • 以血浆中苯磺酸顺阿曲库铵浓度为X,苯磺酸顺阿曲库铵与维库溴铵的峰面积比值为Y,用1/X权重求得回归方程:Y=0.002 6 X+0.010 9,(r=0.999 7),表明在20~5 000 ng/ml范围内线性关系良好。

    • 既往文献报道的苯磺酸顺阿曲库铵血药浓度的检测方法主要有HPLC法及LC-MS法,但往往需要经过真空离心浓缩或氮吹浓缩等较为复杂的样本前处理方法或经梯度洗脱而分析时间较长[3-6]。本研究在此基础上,开发了UPLC-MS/MS检测方法,优化了前处理方法,采用蛋白沉淀法,操作简便,基质效应和提取回收率满足方法学要求;同时筛选了不同的流动相,最终确定含0.1%甲酸的2 mmol/L乙酸铵溶液∶乙腈(30∶70,V/V)等度洗脱,使苯磺酸顺阿曲库铵的离子化程度达到最优,方法验证结果显示该方法的精密度和准确度符合生物样本的分析要求。

      苯磺酸顺阿曲库铵易发生霍夫曼降解而消除,温度和pH值的升高会加速其降解[2],如不加入酸调节pH值,即使在−80 ℃的储存条件下,其仍会很快降解。本研究中,经过对不同浓度甲酸溶液的考察,最终确定标准品的配制溶剂与蛋白沉淀剂均使用含0.1%甲酸的乙腈溶液、血浆样品的收集过程中加入含2%甲酸的水溶液,稳定性研究显示储备液可在4 ℃稳定储存28 d(RE=−4.37%),血浆样本可在−80 ℃稳定储存30 d(低浓度RE=8.24%,中浓度RE=−12.62%,高浓度RE=−10.89%),有效避免了苯磺酸顺阿曲库铵的降解。

      残余肌松导致患者出现主观不适,导致低氧或高二氧化碳血症、咽部肌肉无力,严重的出现上呼吸道梗阻影响患者生命安全[7]。国内一项多中心的纳入1 571例腹部手术患者的研究提示,术后肌松残余率高达52.8%[8],而国外一项使用新斯的明拮抗残余肌松的研究显示,拮抗后仍有63.5%的患者在拔除气管导管时存在残余肌松[9]。ANH常规在麻醉诱导后采集稀释血液,所以其中含有一定量的麻醉药物,本研究中亦检测到离体自体血在回输时刻血袋内含有较高浓度的苯磺酸顺阿曲库铵。回输采集自体血后,患者体内苯磺酸顺阿曲库铵浓度较未进行ANH自体血回输的患者浓度下降缓慢,存在残余肌松的风险。尹磊等[10]研究亦显示,针对老年患者在术毕回输ANH采集自体血存在肌松恢复延迟的现象。因此,针对ANH回输自体血的患者,有必要监测苯磺酸顺阿曲库铵的血浆药物浓度,避免围术期不良事件发生。而本研究建立的检测方法有效、稳定,可以用于临床监测苯磺酸顺阿曲库铵的浓度。
