An LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of hippuric acid (HA) and benzoic acid (BA) in monkey urine after direct injection was developed. Since HA and BA are endogenous compounds in urine, surrogate standards (C-13(6)-hippuric and C-13(6)-benzoic acid) were employed to generate calibration curves. L-Phenylalanine-ring-D5 served as an internal standard. Multiple reaction monitoring in the negative ionization mode with an APCI source was used for detection of all components in the assay. The developed method is intended for determination of HA and BA in the range of 0.25-250 and 0.1-100 mu g/ml, respectively. Weighted (1/x) quadratic regression (r(2) > 0.99) was used to generate calibration curves. Precision and accuracy of the method were assessed by analyzing 3 quality control samples (concentrations at low, medium, and high range of calibration curve) prepared in monkey urine. Stability for 48 h at room temperature and after 3 freeze-thaw cycles was also evaluated. The proposed method was successfully utilized for analysis of urine samples from female monkeys following the administration of everninomicin alone and in combination with gentamicin. The concentrations of endogenous HA and BA were calculated based on the peak area ratio of the analyte to the internal standard using a regression equation for corresponding surrogate standard.
