Marko Lehtonen; Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, School of Pharmacy, University of Eastern Finland in Kuopio Title of master's thesis: LC-MS/MS analysis of acetylcholine in brain microdialysis samples Novel fast and simple LC-MS/MS method of ACh quantification in brain microdialysis samples utilizing stable-isotope-labeled IS was developed. The chromatographic step is based on revered-phase mode of pentafluorophenylpropyl (PFPP) column. The satisfactory retention of ACh is achieved with highly aqueous mobile phase containing 0.05% of the ion-pairing agent TFA and 4% of ACN in 4 min analytical run. Ionization of ACh and IS with low background noise and tolerant towards use of TFA was performed with atmospheric pressure thermospray ionization (APTSI). The selectivity of ACh and IS detection was obtained by SRM modes of MS/MS in the linear ion trap mass analyzer. The performance of developed method was cross validated to the validated method used in the laboratory for ACh measurements. The set of microdialysis...
