Objective To develop a highly selective and sensitive method for determination of tetrodotoxin ( TTX ) in human plasma by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Methods TTX was extracted from plasma samples with methanol containing 3% acetic acid and cleaned up through Oasis MCX cartridges. Then the compound was converted to 2 -amino -6 -hydroxymethyl -8 -hydroxyquinazoline( C9 -base) under alkaline conditions and extracted with Oasis HLB extraction cartridge. The C9 - base was analyzed after BSTFA + TMCS derivatization by gas ehromatography/mass spectrometry with SIM mode. Results The characteristic mass spectral peaks of TTX- C9 -TMS were observed at m/z318, m/z376, m/z392, m/z407 and quantitative ion was m/z392. The calibration curve for TTX - C9 - TMS was linear from 5 ng/ml to 200 ng/ml with the correlation coefficient of 0. 9998. The detection limit was 1.0 ng/ml and the limit of quantification was 5.0 ng/ml. The recovery rates and RSD of the TFX - C9 - TMS for spiked plasma samples were 82.2% - 94.7% and 7.6% - 8.8% , respectively. Conclusion The method was selective, reliable and accurate, so it is suitable for emergency detection of public health events and clinical diagnostic confirmation of poisoned cases.
