ABSTRACT

Objective:To detect 11 kinds of illegally added chemicals in anti-fatigue health foods including sildenafil ,tadalafil, vardenafil , acetildenafil , homosildenafil , hydorxyhomosildenafil , norneosildenafil , aminotadalafil , pseudovardenafil , thioaildenafil and noracetildenafil.Methods:An HPLC-MS/MS method was used with LUNA C18(250 mm ×4.6 mm, 5μm)as the analysis column and triethylamine phosphate , acetonitrile and methanol as the mobile phase with gradient elution at the flow rate of 1ml.min-1 .An ESI+scan and an MS/MS mode were applied .The qualitative and quantitative analysis were carried out by HPLC-MS/MS.Results:Through the detection of 100 batches of samples , 85 batches were only found illegally added chemical substance sildenafil mainly at the concentration of 5-15 mg per granule .Conclusion:The method of HPLC-MS/MS can be used as a powerful screening tool for the rapid drug screening in basic level drug control laboratories to reduce chemical substances illegally added in anti -fatigue health foods .
