Abstract
Introduction: Hair analysis is useful for monitoring exposure to drugs such as antiepileptics owing to long-term therapy and a high possibility of abuse of drugs, which could be fatal. An effective and rapid analytical method for the simultaneous determination of six barbiturates, as well as phenytoin and topiramate in hair samples was developed and validated by liquid-chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Methods: Three different extraction methods were investigated for the development of an appropriate analytical method. Hair was finely cut and then extracted with methanol, methanol containing 1% hydrochloric acid, and liquid-liquid extraction in acidic condition. Results: There was no significant difference in the matrix effects among these three methods. Recoveries clearly declined in the extraction involving both acidic methanol extraction and a LLE in acidic condition. Methanol incubation was chosen as the appropriate extraction method with acceptable matrix effects and recoveries. After validating the methanol incubation, the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were deter-mined as 0.01 and 0.02 ng/mg for topiramate and 0.25-0.5 and 0.5-1 ng/mg for the others in hair. The LC-MS/ MS method was precise and accurate with a dynamic linear range of 0.02-5 ng/mg for topiramate and 0.5 or 1-50 ng/mg for others. This method was applied to authentic hair samples of two drug users. The hair concentrations of phenobarbital were 0.2-17.1 ng/mg in segmental analysis in one female subject and those of topiramate were 0.19-0.93 ng/mg in another female subject. Discussion: The quantitative method was developed to determine 8 antiepileptics using LC-MS/MS. This method performed hair segmental analysis to provide useful informative and chronological data in both of the forensic and clinical toxicology fields.
