Cirsimarin is a bioactive antilipogenic flavonoid isolated from the cotyledons of Abrus precatorius and represents one of the most abundant flavonoids present in this plant species. Cirsimarin exhibits excellent antioxidant, lipolysis, and other biological properties; it can effectively trigger lipid movement and demonstrates antiobesity effects. In this work, an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed for the determination of cirsimarin in rat plasma after intravenous administration. A standard curve of cirsimarin in blank rat plasma was generated over the concentration range of 1–3000 ng/mL. Six rats were administered cirsimarin intravenously (1 mg/kg). The method only required 50 μL of plasma for sample preparation, and the plasma proteins were precipitated with acetonitrile to pretreat the plasma sample. The precisions of cirsimarin in rat plasma were less than 14%, while the accuracies varied between 92.5% and 107.3%. In addition, the matrix effect varied between 103.6% and 107.4%, while the recoveries were greater than 84.2%. This UPLC-MS/MS method was then applied in measuring the pharmacokinetics of cirsimarin in rats. The AUC(0-t) values of cirsimarin from the pharmacokinetic analysis were 1068.2 ± 359.2  ng/mL·h for intravenous administration. The half-life ( t 1 / 2 ) was 1.1 ± 0.4  h (intravenous), indicating that the metabolism of the compound was quick in the rats. Exploring the pharmacokinetics of cirsimarin in vivo can help better understand its metabolism.

Objective This study aimed to develop and validate a high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method to simultaneously determine three bioactive components of the Huangqi Chifeng decoction (HQCF) in rat plasma. Methods Taxol was used as an internal standard in the developed method. Chromatographic separation was performed on a C18 column using a gradient elution with 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile (v/v) and 0.1% formic acid in water (v/v) as the mobile phases at a flow rate of 0.4 mL·minute−1. All compounds were monitored via selected reaction monitoring with an electrospray ionization source. Results The lower limits of quantification of paeoniflorin, calycosin, and prim- O-glucosylcimifugin were 15.0, 0.75, and 0.75 ng·mL−1, respectively. The calibration curves indicated optimal linearity ( r > 0.99) across the concentration ranges. The specificity, precision, accuracy, recovery, matrix effect, and stability of the method were validated. This method was successfully applied in a pharmacokinetics study of the three compounds in rat plasma. Conclusion The pharmacokinetics results provide insights into the mechanisms of HQCF in vivo and its future clinical application.

OJT007 is a methionine aminopeptidase 1 (MetAP1) inhibitor with potent anti-proliferative effects against Leishmania Major. In order to study its pharmacokinetics as a part of the drug development process, a sensitive, specific, and reproducible ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated. Voriconazole was used as the internal standard to generate standard curves ranging from 5 to 1000 ng/mL. The separation was achieved using a UPLC system equipped with an Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 × 50 mm, 1.7 μm) with 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid in water as the mobile phase under gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. The mass analysis was performed with a 4000 QTRAP® mass spectrometer using multiple-ion reaction monitoring (MRM) in the positive mode, with the transition of m/z 325 → m/z 205 for OJT007 and m/z 350 → m/z 101 for voriconazole. The intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy were within ±15%. The mean extraction recovery and the matrix effect were 95.1% and 7.96%, respectively, suggesting no significant matrix interfering with the quantification of the drug in rat plasma. This study was successfully used for the pharmacokinetic evaluation of OJT007 using the rat as an animal model.

AbstractAn ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) method was developed to determine the fenofibric acid (FA) in human plasma and applied to a pharmacokinetic study of fenofibrate tablet (Lipanthyl® supra, 160 mg) on Chinese subjects which had not been reported. Bezafibrate was used as an internal standard (IS), and the plasma samples were precipitated by methanol. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode was used to quantitatively analyzed FA m/z 317.2 → 230.7 and the IS m/z 360.0 → 274.0 in the electrospray ionization (ESI) negative interface. The calibration curves were linear over the range of 50–30,000  ng/mL (r2  ≥  0.996). The intra-day and inter-day precision (coefficient of variation, CV%) was less than 2.7 and 2.5%, respectively. The accuracy (relative error, RE%) ranged from −4.5 to 6.9%. The average recovery was higher than 86.2%, and the matrix effect was between 95.32 and 110.55%. The simple, rapid, and selectivity method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of fenofibrate tablets on Chinese subjects.

A sensitive and accurate reversed– phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method with UV absorbance detection at 289 nm was developed and validated for the determination and quantification of besifloxacin (BSF) in rat plasma. Ofloxacin was used as an internal standard (IS). The sample was prepared by liquid extraction of BSF from plasma, using methanol and acetonitrile (70:30). The chromatographic separation was achieved with octadecylsilane (ODS-3), Hypersil® C18 column (250 mm×6mm×5μm). The chromatographic runtime was less than 5 minutes where the retention time of internal standard and the drug was 2.15 min and 3.30 min respectively. A standard curve with a regression coefficient (r2) 0.999 was obtained in the range of 0.025-20 μg/mL. The method was validated with respect to linearity, range, precision, accuracy and robustness according to ICH guidelines. The method was found to be accurate and robust with a runtime of less than 5 minutes. Hence, the present method was rapid and economical to use for clinical studies as well as to analyze the drug in different plasma samples.

Background: Alpiniae oxyphyllae Fructus (AOF), as a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is widely used in the treatment of urinary, gastrointestinal and neurologic diseases in China. Although terpenoids are the main active ingredients of AOF, there are few researches on their pharmacokinetics and metabolism. Methods: In this study, a sensitive, rapid, accurate and novel ultra high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was established to evaluate the pharmacokinetic behavior of five terpenoids (oxyphyllenodiol B, (4S*,5E,10R*)-7-oxo-tri-nor-eudesm-5-en-4β-ol, 7-epi-teucrenone, (+)-(4R,5S,7R)-13- hydroxynootkatone, (E)-labda-12,14-dien-15(16)-olide-17-oic acid) in rats after oral administration of AOF extracts. And 27 metabolic metabolites of the five terpenoids were identified by ultra high performance liquid chromatography -Q Exactive hybrid quadrupole-orbitrap high-resolution accurate mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS) based on precise mass and fragment ions. Results: The established pharmacokinetic analysis method showed good linearity over a wide concentration range, and the lower quantitative limit (LLOQ) were ranged from 0.97 to 4.25 ng/mL. And other validation parameters were within the acceptable range. In addition, 27 metabolites were identified in plasma, urine and feces samples, and the metabolic pathways of five terpenoids were mainly focus on glucoside conjugation, dehydration, desaturation and glycine conjugation. Conclusion: This is the first study on the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of five terpenoids in AOF at the same time, illuminating the disposal process of terpenoids in vivo. It was expected that the results of this study would provide some references for the apprehension of the action mechanism and the further pharmacological study of five terpenoids in AOF.

Main Components

Gelsemium elegans (Gardn. & Champ.) Benth. is a plant belonging to the genus Gelsemium (family Gelsemiaceae), and its main components are alkaloids. It is a Chinese traditional medicinal plant and notoriously known as a highly toxic medicine. However, a method has not yet been found for the simultaneous detection of 11 Gelsemium alkaloids in rat plasma, and the toxicokinetics of 11 Gelsemium alkaloids after intravenous administration has not been reported. In this work, we have developed a sensitive and rapid method of ultraperformance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) for the detection of 11 Gelsemium alkaloids in rat plasma. The toxicokinetic behavior was also investigated, so as to provide a reference of the scientific properties of Gelsemium elegans and improve the efficacy and safety of drugs. Sixty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 11 groups, six rats in each group. Each group was intravenously given one alkaloid (0.1 mg/kg), respectively. A Waters UPLC BEH C18 column (50 mm×2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) was used for chromatographic separation. Methanol and water (containing 0.1% formic acid) were used for the mobile phase with gradient elution. Multiple reactions were monitored, and positive electrospray ionization was used for quantitative analysis. The precision was less than 16%, and the accuracy was between 86.9% and 113.2%. The extraction efficiency was better than 75.8%, and the matrix effects ranged from 88.5% to 107.8%. The calibration curves were in the range of 0.1–200 ng/mL, with a correlation coefficient (R2) greater than 0.995. The UPLC-MS/MS method was successfully applied to the toxicokinetics of 11 Gelsemium alkaloids in rats after intravenous administration (0.1 mg/kg for each alkaloid). The results of the toxicokinetics provide a basis for the pharmacology and toxicology of Gelsemium alkaloids and scientific evidence for the clinical use of Gelsemium alkaloids.

This paper presents a new high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method with a rapid analysis of 6 min to determine the concentration of galgravin in rat plasma so as to study its pharmacokinetic features and bioavailability in vivo. Schisandrin was selected as the internal standard (IS). After extracting the analyte from plasma samples with ethyl acetate, methanol-H2O (0.1% formic acid) (85 : 15, v / v ) was used as mobile phase to achieve chromatographic separation on a C18 reversed phase column. The MS detection was performed in positive ion mode using electrospray ionization (ESI) source. This method showed good linearity over the range of 1~500 ng/mL ( R 2 > 0.999 ), and the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was 1.0 ng/mL. The intraday precision and interday precision were both within 8.5%, whereas the accuracies were in the range of -2.6%–6.0%. The average recoveries of galgravin in rat plasma were between 92.3% and 99.3%. Moreover, galgravin was stable throughout storage and processing with all RSDs below 12.1%. After the successful application of this optimized method, the oral bioavailability of galgravin was determined to be 8.5%. This study will be helpful to the future research and development of galgravin.
