Anthracycline antineoplastic drugs (doxorubicin, epirubicin, daunorubicin) are "hazardous drugs for handling" by healthcare professionals. To monitor their occupational exposure, a highly sensitive ESI-UHPLC-MS/MS method for the assay of anthracyclines in urine was developed. The urine extraction consisted of SPE extraction method. A good linearity (r > 0.996), precision (CV < 14.4%), and accuracy (bias < 13.6%) were achieved for the three drugs. The lower limit of quantification (LOQ) was 10 ng/L. This LOQ value is equal to the LOQ of published methods except for epirubicin, for which the LOQ value is better by a factor of 10 (best published LOQ value: 100 ng/L). Applying this method in routine, more than 77 healthcare professionals occupationally exposed to anthracyclines were monitored and 77 urines were analyzed. Two healthcare professionals (2.6%) were found to be contaminated to doxorubicin and/or epirubicin. The measured concentrations ranged from 17.7 to 218 ng/L. Such an efficient analytical tool, combining both high specificity and sensitivity is essential for reliable highlight of contamination during biological monitoring of healthcare professionals widely exposed to these drugs. This anthracycline antineoplastic drugs exposure monitoring allows healthcare professionals for assessing effectiveness individual and collective protective measures and for ensuring traceability of occupational exposure to these drugs.< Réduire
