Two novel metabolites of benproperine (BPP), 1-[1-methyl-2-[2-(phenylmethyl)phenoxy]ethyl]-3-piperidinol (3-OH-BPP) and 1-[1-methyl-2-[2-(phenylmethyl)phenoxy]ethyl]-4-piperidinol (4-OH-BPP), were confirmed by comparison of retention times and mass spectra with those of synthetic standards using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Selective and sensitive procedures were developed for the simultaneous determination of BPP, 3-OH-BPP and 4-OH-BPP in human plasma and urine. The analytes were extracted from plasma sample and enzymatically hydrolyzed urine samples by liquid-liquid extraction, separated through a Diamonsil C(18) column (150 mm x 4.6 mm i.d.) and determined by tandem mass spectrometry with an electrospray ionization interface in selected reaction monitoring mode. Dextromethorphan was used as internal standard. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-water-formic acid (34:66:1, v/v/v), and flow-rate was 0.5 ml min(-1). This method has a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 60, 4.0 and 4.0 nmol l(-1)for BPP, 3-OH-BPP and 4-OH-BPP in plasma, 4.9, 4.7 and 2.4 nmol l(-1) in urine, respectively. The intra- and inter-run precision were measured to be below 9.2%, and the accuracy was within +/-4.3% for the analytes. The method was successfully used to determine BPP, 3-OH-BPP and 4-OH-BPP in plasma and urine for pharmacokinetic investigation. The results indicated residue of 3-OH-BPP in the body at least 192 h after an oral dose of BPP.

D021241	Spectrometry, Mass, Electrospray Ionization	A mass spectrometry technique used for analysis of nonvolatile compounds such as proteins and macromolecules. The technique involves preparing electrically charged droplets from analyte molecules dissolved in solvent. The electrically charged droplets enter a vacuum chamber where the solvent is evaporated. Evaporation of solvent reduces the droplet size, thereby increasing the coulombic repulsion within the droplet. As the charged droplets get smaller, the excess charge within them causes them to disintegrate and release analyte molecules. The volatilized analyte molecules are then analyzed by mass spectrometry.
