Developing a rapid analytical approach for determining β-adrenergic agonist compounds in biological samples is crucial for individual exposure assessment. This study established an analytical method for simultaneously measuring eight β-adrenergic agonist compounds in human urine, including clenbuterol, terbutaline, salbutamol, ractopamine, zilpaterol, cimaterol, tulobuterol, and fenoterol. Two hundred microliters of a urine sample were added to eight deuterium-labeled internal standard mixtures and glucuronidase/arylsulfatase for enzymatic hydrolysis, and were then analyzed using an online clean-up system coupled with a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry system (LC-MS/MS). The limit of quantification ranged from 0.03 to 0.12 ng/mL urine for the eight β-adrenergic agonist compounds. The relative standard deviations (RSD) of the within-run and between-run precisions were less than 10%, and the relative accuracy errors were less than 17% in the three-level spiked artificial urine samples. Two hundred eighty human urine samples collected from the general population in Taiwan were assessed to demonstrate the capability and feasibility of this method. The detection frequencies were 33% for clenbuterol, 5% for ractopamine, and less than 5% for the others. We concluded that the isotope dilution-online clean-up system coupled with LC-MS/MS method is a valuable analytical method for investigating urinary β-adrenergic agonist compounds in humans and is valuable for human biomonitoring studies. |
