Rapid determination of phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors in invigorative health food by paper spray ionization mass spectrometry method / 中国食品卫生杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective A rapid method was constructed for detection of 3 kinds of phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors (sidenafil,vardalafil,tadalafil) in invigorative health food by paper spray ionization mass spectrometry (PSI-MS method).Methods The characteristic ions of the PDE5 inhibitors could be used for preliminary identification and semiquantitative analysis with internal standard method using PSI-MS method.Results The 24 kinds of commercially available health-care products includes capsule,tablet,pill,powder,wine,syrup and liquid were tested.Results from PSI-MS were consistent with the HPLC-UV date.The calibration curves of PSI-MS has a good linearity in a given range.The linear coefficients of analytes were higher than 0.99.The LODs of 3 kinds of PDE5 inhibitors were lower than 1.0 mg/L.The RSDs of this method ranged from 20％ to 24％.Conclusion The PSI-MS method was rapid,accurate and targeted,which is compliant for quickly screening the PDE5 inhibitors in large complex matrix samples.
