Popis: Irreversible hearing loss induced by aminoglycoside in human through local or systemic administration route negatively impacts quality of life. The aim of this work was to develop and validate an analytical method suitable for the detection and quantification of neomycin in cochlear perilymph of guinea pig after local application. The SupelMIP SPE column was used for the pre-treatment of matrix. Chromatographic separation was conducted by a reversed phase ODS column (100 × 2.1 mm, 3 μm) at 40 °C in gradient mode with 0.2‰ (v/v) HFBA in water and 0.2‰ (v/v) HFBA in acetonitrile as mobile phase, at a flow rate of 0.30 mL/min, with retention time of 3.50 and 3.62 min for internal standard tobramycin and analyte neomycin, respectively. The MS was performed with positive ionization mode, with data acquisition in Multi Reaction Monitor (MRM) mode. This method was proved to be specific, accurate (97.1-115% of nominal values) and precise (CV% 15%). Calibration curves for matrix matched standard of neomycin ranged from 1.25 to 200 μg/mL, with LOD and LLOQ of 0.625 and 1.25 μg/mL in blank matrix. The matrix effect was corrected to (-0.1) - 1.33 by adding internal standard. The relative SPE recovery values were ≥98.9% in low, medium and high QC samples. Neomycin in matrix proved to be stable under room temperature - and -20 °C, or under three freeze-thawing cycles, or under processing as well. Finally, the proposed method was successfully applied to a toxicokinetics study of neomycin in perilymph after round window membrane (RWM) administration, which was in accordance with threshold shift of auditory brainstem response (ABR) test related to hearing loss.
