vardenafil-dihydrochloride and dapoxetine

A method was established for rapid screening and quantifying 11 illegally added anti-impotence preparations (yohimbine, acetildenafil, nor-acetildenafil, homosildenafil, hydroxy-homosildenafil, sildenafil, vardenafil, thioaildenafil, tadalafil, pseudovardenafil, dapoxetine) in health care products by high performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry. The samples were extracted with methanol and analyzed by positive mode in the MS detection. The results showed that the limits of detection were 25.0 ng/mLexcept for nor-acetildenafil (5.0 ng/mL), the linear ranges were 5.0-200.0 ng/mL except for nor-acetildenafil (25.0-500.0 ng/mL) with the correlation coefficients not less than 0.999 0. The recoveries were in the range of 82.0%-105.9% with the relative standard deviations of 4.7%-16.5%. This method is accurate, simple and rapid, and can be used in rapid screening and quantitative analysis of the 11 illegally added anti-impotence in health care products.
