[0030] Example 1

[0031] This embodiment provides the preparation and analysis of a standard curve for acetylcholine hydrochloride in a biological matrix based on the analytical method for acetylcholine hydrochloride provided by the present invention.

[0032] Before testing, pretreatment analysis was performed by adding 270 µL of acetonitrile to 30 µL of blank biological matrix, vortexing and mixing, centrifuging at 4000 r / min for 10 min at 4℃, taking 100 µL of the supernatant and adding it to 100 µL of deionized water, mixing, and taking 5 µL for LC-MS / MS analysis to eliminate the influence of contamination and interference.

[0033] In some possible embodiments, according to the requirements of the General Rules of Pharmacopoeia 9012, a standard curve sample of acetylcholine hydrochloride was prepared and diluted with a blank protein matrix to form standard solutions of different concentration gradients, with concentrations of 0.25 ng / mL, 0.5 ng / mL, 1.25 ng / mL, 2.5 ng / mL, 12.5 ng / mL, 25 ng / mL, 40 ng / mL, and 50 ng / mL, respectively. 30 µL of the standard solution to be tested was taken and added to 270 µL of acetonitrile containing 10 ng / mL tolbutamide. After vortexing and mixing thoroughly, the mixture was centrifuged at 4000 r / min for 10 minutes at 4°C. 100 µL of the supernatant was then added to 100 µL of deionized water and mixed thoroughly to obtain the test sample.

After vortexing and mixing thoroughly, the mixture was centrifuged at 4000 r / min for 10 minutes at 4°C. 100 µL of the supernatant was added to 100 µL of deionized water and mixed thoroughly to obtain the test samples. The prepared quality control sample solutions of different concentrations of acetylcholine hydrochloride were analyzed by LC-MS / MS. The detection results are shown in Table 3.
