Abstract | A high-throughput liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method has been developed for the quantitative assessment of 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) in brain tissue samples. This separation is based on reversed phase chromatography using formic acid and acetonitrile as the mobile phase. Using gradient separation conditions, MPP+ was resolved within 5 min and detected using tandem mass spectrometry in the positive ion electrospray mode. The limit of detection for MPP+ was found to be 1 fmol on column with a signal to noise ratio of 3:1. The assay has been used routinely in our laboratory for the measurement of MPP+ levels in brain tissue from 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-treated mice, and can be used to distinguish neuroprotective efficacy and monoamine oxidase inhibition. |
