A simple and sensitive HPLC method was developed for simultaneous determination of danshensu (DSS), rosmarinic acid (RA), lithospermic acid (LA), salvianolic acid B (SAB), and hyperoside (HP) in rat plasma. This method validated was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of the main active ingredients after oral administration ofRadix Salviae Miltiorrhizaeextract (SME), hawthorn extract (HTE), and a combination of both extracts (2.5 : 1) to rats. The results indicated that there have been great differences in pharmacokinetics between a single extract and a combination of both extracts. A combination of both extracts can enhance their bioavailabilities and delay the elimination of SAB and DSS in rats.

Introduction: A rapid, sensitive and convenient ultra-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection (UPLC-MS/MS) method has been validated and applied to the simultaneous determination of kirenol, rosmarinic acid and caffeic acid after oral administration of the extract of Manxingshizhen preparation in rat plasma. Materials and Methods: Puerarin was selected as the internal standard (IS). The plasma sample preparation was pretreated by liquid-liquid extraction of the mixture with ethyl acetate. All analytes were simultaneously detected in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode via both the positive electrospray ionization (ESI+) and negative electrospray ionization (ESI). In the experiment, all calibration curves revealed good linearity (r > 0.999). The LLOQ were between 0.80-2.00 ng/mL, respectively. Besides, the intra-day and inter-day precision ranged from 6.4 to 13.8%, respectively. Moreover, the accuracy was within - 11.4% and 12.8% for all the QC levels of all analytes. The extraction recoveries of the analytes and IS in plasma at three concentration levels ranged from 88.5 to 103.2%, moreover, the matrix effects of all the analytes and the IS were found to be satisfied with the acceptable range of 89.8%-101.7%. Meanwhile, the RSD values of stability met the requirement of not more than 15%. Furthermore, the pharmacokinetic parameters of three compounds were analyzed using concentrationtime profiles. Conclusion and Results: Plasma concentrations of the three compounds were determined up to 24 h after oral administration, and their pharmacokinetic parameters were in agreement with previous studies. The validated method was successfully applied in a pharmacokinetic study in rat plasma after oral administration of Manxingshizhen preparation.

Aims: Pharmacokinetic Study of Salviae Miltiorrhizaeand Ligustrazine Hydrochloride injection. For the evaluation of mechanism of action, safety and clinical rational use of Salviae Miltiorrhizae and Ligustrazine Hydrochloride injection. Background: Salviae Miltiorrhizae and Ligustrazine Hydrochloride injection is a compound preparation consisted of Salvia Miltiorrhiza extract and ligustrazine hydrochloride for the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in China. Methods: Plasma samples were precipitated with methanol, which was spiked with ascorbic acid and the supernatant was separated on a Waters Cortecs C18 column, by using a gradient mobile phase system of acetonitrile-water containing 0.05% formic acid (v/v). For internal standards, puerarin was selected for the five salvianolic acids, while isofraxidin was used for ligustrazine hydrochloride. Besides, electrospray ionization in negative mode and multiple-reaction monitoring were used to identify and quantify the five salvianolic acids, whereas ligustrazine hydrochloride was quantified at 310 nm using the diode array detector. Results: Noticeably, all calibration curves showed good linearity (R2>0.99) over the concentration range, with a lower limit of quantification between 0.00411 and 0.0369μg/mL for salvianolic acids, and 1.74 μg/mL for ligustrazine hydrochloride. Next, the precision of the developed method was evaluated by intra-and inter-day assays, and the percentage of relative standard deviation was within 10%. Although the extraction efficiency of some salvianolic acids were not very satisfactory, the sensitivity of the analytical method met the analysis requirements of rat plasma samples. Moreover, the validated method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of Salviae Miltiorrhizae and Ligustrazine Hydrochloride injection in the rat model. Conclusion: Linear pharmacokinetic characteristics were observed for the six active ingredients after intravenous infusion administration in rats, within the dose range examined here. In summary, our study proposed a HPLC-DAD-MS/MS method in the simultaneous determination of multiple ingredients, and demonstrated its applicability in pharmacokinetic studies.
