A
selective and sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method (LC-MS/MS) has been developed for
determination of Hypophyllanthin (HPT) and Silibinin (SBN) in human plasma. Sertraline hydrochloride was used as
the internal standard (IS). Sample preparation involved liquid–liquid extraction by tert butyl metyl ether. Chromatographic
separationwas carried out on a C8 column (3 μm, 3.0 x 50.0mm) with isocratic elution using amobile phase of water:acetonitrile
(10:90 v/v) at a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min. The detection was performed by tandem mass spectrometry with multiple reactions
monitoring mode via electrospray ionization source in positive ionization mode. Analysis was carried out within 2.0 min over
a linear concentration range of 1.00 -1000 and 1.00 – 500 ng/mL for HPT and SBN, respectively, and the LLOQ was 1 ng/ml for
both compounds. The method was validated according to FDA guidelines for bioanalytical method validation and satisfactory
results were obtained. This validated method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study enrolling 20 male volunteers
administered a single oral dose of Heptex vegetable capsules.
