SAMPLE
Matrix: blood
Sample preparation: Condition an immobilized antibody column (preparation details in
paper) with 4 mL water, 4 mL MeOH: water 80:20, and 4 mL PBS. Add 1 mL plasma to
the column, let stand for 15 min, wash with two 4 mL portions of water, wash with 4 mL
PBS, wash with two 4 mL portions of water, elute with 4 mL MeOH. Add 100 (xL 100
ng/mL IS in water to the eluate, evaporate to dryness, reconstitute with 100 (xL DMF,
add 100 |xL 47.6 jxg/mL triethylamine in dioxane (Caution! Dioxane is a carcinogen!), add
100 |xL 51.8 |xL/mL diethyl phosphorocyanidate in dioxane, add 100 |xL 100 jxg/mL Ndansylethylenediamine (Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene OR) in dioxane, stir for 10 s, let
stand at room temperature for 10 min, inject a 10 |xL aliquot onto column A and elute to
waste with mobile phase A. After 7.5 min elute the contents of column A onto column B
with mobile phase B. After 2.5 min remove column A from the circuit. Elute column B
with mobile phase B and monitor the effluent from column B.

SAMPLE
Matrix: blood
Sample preparation: Condition a 1 mL C2 Bond-Elut SPE cartridge with 2 mL water, 2
mL MeOH, and 2 mL water. 1 mL Plasma + 1 mL 100 mM pH 7.2 KH2PO4, add to the
SPE cartridge, wash with 2 mL water, elute with 500 JJLL MeCN-.water 75:25. Evaporate
the eluate to dryness under reduced pressure, reconstitute with 80 JULL IS solution, cen-
trifuge, inject a 50 |xL aliquot. (Prepare the IS solution by mixing 2 mL 100 |xg/mL simvastatin p-hydroxyacid in MeOH, 1 mL MeOH, and 1 mL 100 mM pH 5 KH2PO4.)
