摘要:

建立了超高效液相色谱-串联质谱法(UPLC-MS/MS)测定化妆品中12种美白成分的方法。对样品前处理、色谱条件和质谱条件进行了优化,优化后条件为:化妆品样品采用体积分数为50%的甲醇溶液(含0.025%甲酸)超声提取,用聚四氟乙烯滤膜过滤,采用Waters BEH C18色谱柱分离,以乙腈-0.01%甲酸水溶液为流动相进行梯度洗脱,采用电喷雾离子源(ESI)正负离子模式扫描和多反应监测模式(MRM)检测分析,外标法定量。结果表明,12种美白组分在各自质量浓度范围内线性关系良好,线性相关系数均优于0.995,在膏霜、水乳和面膜基质中检出限为0.06~15.00 mg/kg,定量限为0.20~50.00 mg/kg。3种不同基质的化妆品中各组分在低、中、高浓度加标的平均回收率为78.6%~111.8%,相对标准偏差为1.0%~6.2%(n = 6)。该方法前处理简单,准确性良好,适用于不同基质中12种美白成分的含量测定和质谱确证。

Abstract:

An ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of twelve whitening ingredients in cosmetics. The sample preparation, liquid chromatography and mass spectrometric conditions were optimized. The optimized conditions were as follows: the samples were ultrasonically extracted with 50% methanol aqueous solution containing 0.025% formic acid, and filtered by polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane. Adequate chromatographic retention was achieved on a Waters BEH C18 column under gradient elution with acetonitrile and 0.01% formic acid aqueous solution. A triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray source was set up in the both positive and negative ion mode for multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). The results show that among the three cosmetics with different types of matrices, the linearity of the twelve whitening agents is good in the concentration ranges, with the correlation coefficient (R) greater than 0.995. The limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantitation (LOQ) are 0.06-15.00 mg/kg and 0.20-50.00 mg/kg, respectively. Spike recovery is performed on three cosmetics at three different spike levels, and the average recoveries in different types of cosmetics are in the range of 78.6%-111.8% with the relative standard deviation of 1.0%-6.2%(n=6). The validated method is successfully applied to the determination of 12 components in 18 batches of cosmetics. The results indicate that the quantitative method is simple and accurate. It is suitable for quantitative determination and qualitative confirmation of the 12 whitening agents in different matrices of cosmetics.
