We have developed a new method based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) for analysis of zidovudine-triphosphate and (deoxy)nucleotide-triphosphates, which ultimately can be used for nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) treatment monitoring in HIV-1 infected children and adults. Four different matrices were compared for sensitivity and reproducibility of zidovudine-triphosphate detection and anthranilic acid mixed with nicotinic acid (AA/NA) was selected as most suitable matrix. Solutions of zidovudine-triphosphate, ATP, and dGTP were detected up to 0.5fmol per sample. Furthermore, intracellular zidovudine-triphosphate, ATP, and dGTP were detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Zidovudine-triphosphate, ATP, and dGTP yield identical mass spectra, however MALDI-TOF post-source decay analysis can be used for discrimination between these compounds. We conclude that this method based on MALDI-TOF MS can be used for analysis of intracellular zidovudine-triphosphate and (deoxy)nucleotide-triphosphates in PBMCs.
