Abstract:

A simple, precise and rapid ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method for simultaneous determination of vitamin D-2 (VD-2), vitamin D-3 (VD-3), 25-hydroxyvitamin D-2 [25 (OH) VD-2], and 25-hydroxyvitamin D-3 [25 (OH) VD-3] in human plasma was developed and validated. Using n-dodecanophenone as an internal standard (IS), separation was achieved on Acquity UPLC C18 column. The mobile phase (gradient elution mode) consists of methanol, acetonitrile and water (pH=3.0); the eluents were monitored by photodiode array detector wavelength set at 265 nm. Plasma samples were deproteinized with a mixture of methanol and 2-proponol, then extracted with hexane. After evaporation, the residue was dissolved in methanol: Water (50: 50, v/v), centrifuged and then clear solution was injected on the system. The relationship between the concentration of VD-2, VD-3, 25 (OH) VD-2, 25 (OH) VD-3 in plasma and their peak area ratio to the IS were linear over the range of 2.5-100 ng/mL. The precision and accuracy of the method was found to be within acceptable limits. Mean extraction recoveries of VD-2, VD-3, 25 (OH) VD-2, and 25 (OH) VD-3 from plasma were over 80%. The method was used for the determination of vitamin D level in plasma obtained from healthy subject participated in the study.
