Abstract

A method for the quantitative determination of pregnenolone 3-sulfate (PS) in rat brains has been developed using liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS). The PS fraction was obtained from the rat brain homogenate by solid-phase extraction and ion-exchange chromatography. After the derivatization with 4-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-7-hydrazino-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole, PS was determined using LC/ESI-tandem MS along with the standard addition method. This method was applied to the quantitative determination of this steroid in the brains of Wistar strain rats, most of which showed a much lower amount than that previously reported.
