Abstract

Biomarkers, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 , are important indicators of the vitamin D general status and are monitored in several pathophysiological disorders, such as osteoporosis, diabetes, heart disease, etc. A novel ultra-HPLC with MS/MS methodology for the analysis of 25-hydroxyvitamin D derivatives coupled with a very simple and highly rapid sample preparation step was developed. Analytical parameters obtained showed linearity (R(2) ) above 0.999 for both vitamins with accuracies between 95.8 and 102%. The LODs were as low as 0.22 and 0.67 nmol/L for 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 , respectively. Intra-assay precision (%RSD) was lower than 4.5%, and inter-assay precision (%RSD) was lower than 6.5%. The feasibility of the developed methodology to be applied in clinical routine analysis has been proved by its application in blood samples from non-agenarian patients, patients with familial hypercholesterolemia and patients suffering from age-related macular degeneration. © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
