A sensitive, specific and efficient high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay for the simultaneous determination of vincristine and actinomycin-D in human dried blood spots is presented. Dried blood spots were punched out of a collection paper with a 0.25-in.-diameter punch. The analytes were extracted from the punched-out disc using sonication during 15 min in a mixture of acetonitrile-methanol-water (1:1:1, v/v/v) containing the internal standard vinorelbine. Twenty-microlitre volumes were injected onto the HPLC system. Separation was achieved on a 50 x 2.1 mm ID Xbridge C(18) column using elution with 1 mM ammonium acetate-acetonitrile (70:30, v/v) adjusted to pH 10.5 with ammonia and run in a gradient with methanol at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. HPLC run time was 6 min. The assay quantifies vincristine from 1 to 100 ng/mL and actinomycin-D from 2 to 250 ng/mL using a blood sample obtained by a simple finger prick. Validation results demonstrate that vincristine and actinomycin-D can be accurately and precisely quantified in human dried blood spots with the presented method. The assay can now be used to support clinical pharmacologic studies with vincristine and actinomycin-D.
