title: Determination of the aza alkyl lysophospholipid 3-methoxy-2-N,N-methyloctadecylaminopropyloxyphosphorylcholine in rat plasma by liquid chromatography-particle beam-mass spectrometry.
abstract: A sensitive and specific method for the determination of the aza alkyl lysophospholipid (AALP) 3-methoxy-2-N,N-methyloctadecylaminopropyloxyphosphorylcholine (I) in rat plasma is described. The target molecule was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-mass spectrometry (MS) after one single liquid-liquid extraction with chloroform-methanol (2:1, v/v). 1,2-Didecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine was used as internal standard. HPLC was carried out using a polymeric reversed-phase column; the coupling to the mass spectrometer was a particle beam (PB) interface, and the ionization method was electron impact (EI). This simple and rugged method permits the measurement of I in rat plasma in the range of 25 ng/ml-5 micrograms/ml with good accuracy and precision and is used in pharmacokinetic studies.
