Objective:To establish a simple,sensitive method of high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) for determination of mitiglinide calcium in human plasma.Method:The internal standard is repaglinide,the plasma samples were deposited by acetonitrile directly,then the analytes were separated by using Agilent-C18 (2.1 mm×150 mm,3.5 μm) column,the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-methanol-water (70∶20∶10),the column temperature was 20 ℃,the flow rate was 0.2 mL·min-1.Mitiglinide calcium was quantitated by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode with negative electrospray ionization (ESI-).Results:The minimal detectable plasma drug concentration was 2 ng·mL-1 (S/N≥ 3),the calibration curve was linear in the range of 10-4000 ng·mL-1,with coefficient of determination 0.9994.The average recovery was between 97.8% and 104.9%.Intra-day and inter-day RSDs were less than 10% (n=6).Conclusion:The method is simple,sensitive and accurate.It is suitable for the study of pharmacokinetics of mitiglinide calcium in human plasma.
