Abstract:

A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method has been established for the simultaneous determination of seven atopic dermatitis treatment drugs in 4 different cosmetic matrices. Following vortex dispersion and ultrasonic extraction with the test sample using 80% methanol, the mixture was filtered through a 0.22 μm PTFE membrane. Chromatographic separation of the filtrate was achieved on a Kinetex® C18 (2.6 μm×2.1 mm×100 mm) column, utilizing a gradient elution system consisting of 0.1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile as the mobile phase. The determination of target compounds was performed using an electrospray ionization source (ESI) in multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM). The results show that the seven atopic dermatitis treatment drugs exhibit good linear relationships within their respective linear ranges (r>0.997), with limits of detection (LODs) ranging from 0.8 to 171 μg/kg. The recovery rates of the seven drugs in the 4 cosmetics matrices range from 86.5% to 109.7%, with relative standard deviations (RSD) of 0.13% to 5.4%. This method is simple, rapid, and provides reliable qualitative and quantitative analysis, making it highly suitable for the determination of these drugs in cosmetics. Furthermore, it can provide valuable technical support for cosmetic risk monitoring and standard revisions.
