| Abstract | |
In this study, the development and validation of a method for quantification of 6-nitrodopamine in Krebs-Henseleit's solution by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with positive ion electrospray ionization is described. Aortic rings taken from tortoise were either denuded or left with endothelium intact (15 mm, N = 6) and were incubated for 30 min in 5 mL Krebs-Henseleit's solution in an organ bath. Solid phase extraction (SPE) was performed for aliquots of 1 mL of the supernatant. The separation of 6-nitrodopamine was obtained on a 150 mm x 3 mm Shim-pack GIST-HP C18 column, using 75% of mobile phase A consisted of deionized water with 0.1% formic acid (v/v) and 25% of mobile phase B consisted of acetonitrile/deionized water (50/50, v/v) + 0.1% formic acid at a flow rate of 350 mu L/min in an isocratic mode. The method was linear over the concentration range of 0.1-20 ng/mL. The method was sensitive, precise and accurate for the assessment of the basal release of 6-nitrodopamine from Chelonoidis carbonaria aortae in vitro. The mean +/- SEM concentrations of 6-nitrodopamine released from endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded aortae were 0.44 +/- 0.06 ng/mL and 0.18 +/- 0.05 ng/mL, respectively. These results indicate that tortoise's aortae display a basal endothelium-derived 6-nitrodopamine release. (AU) | |
