dc.description.abstractDue to the high prevalence of cannabinoids in forensic toxicology, it is crucial to have an efficient method that allows the use of a small sample amount and that requires a minimal sample preparation, for the determination and quantification of low concentrations. A simple, highly selective and high throughput liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method (LC-MS/MS-MS3) was developed for the determination and quantification of ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), 11-hydroxy-∆9-THC (THC-OH) and 11-nor-∆9-THC-9-carboxylic acid (THC-COOH) in blood samples. Chromatographic analysis was preceded by a protein precipitation of 0.1 mL of blood samples with acetonitrile, then THC, THC-OH, THC-COOH and deuterated internal standards were separated on an Acquity UPLC® HSS T3 (100 mm x 2.1 mm i.d., 1.8 mm) reversed-phase column using a gradient elution with 2 mM aqueous ammonium formate (0.1% formic acid) and methanol, at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min, and with a run time of 10 min. For MS/MS-MS3 analysis, a SCIEX QTRAP® 6500+ linear ion trap triple quadrupole mass spectrometer was used via electrospray ionization (ESI), operated in multiple reaction mode (MRM) and linear ion trap mode (MS3). The method was validated in accordance with international accepted criteria and guidelines. The method was selective and linear between 0.5-100 ng/mL (r2>0.995). The lower limits of quantification (LLOQ) corresponded to the lowest concentrations used for the calibration curves. The coefficients of variation obtained for accuracy and precision were less than 15%. The mean recoveries were between 88.0-101.4% for the studied concentration levels (1 ng/mL, 5 ng/mL and 50 ng/mL). No significant interfering compounds, matrix effects or carryover were observed. The validated method provides a sensitive, efficient and robust procedure for the quantitation of cannabinoids in blood using LC–MS/MS-MS3 and a sample volume of 0.1 mL. This work is also a proof of concept for using LC-MS3 technique to determine drugs in biological samples.pt_PT
