A simple, rapid, and selective ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (MS)/MS method was established to investigate tissue distribution of 6 polyphenolic compounds of Polygonum orientale L. extract in normal and myocardial ischemia (MI) model rat tissues, including isoorientin, orientin, vitexin, quercitrin, astragalin, and protocatechuic acid. An Agilent Eclipse Plus C18 column was used. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile and water, both with 0.1% formic acid. Quantification was performed in negative ion multiple reaction monitoring mode. All the analysts had good linearity with r ≥ 0.9912. Accuracy ranged from 12.49% to −13.98% for the 6 compounds; within-day variation (precision) was ≤9.98% and interday precision was ≤11.88%. Extraction recovery of the analysts ranged from 80.55% to 99.92%; the matrix was 81.00%–98.73%. The analyst preparations were stable throughout. The 6 compounds were rapidly distributed in various tissues after oral administration, without accumulation over 12 hours. Compared with normal rats, distributions of 6 compounds in the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, brain, stomach, and intestine in MI model rats were different from those in the normal group. The study provides an insight for further research of P. orientale L.

Purpose: To study the pharmacokinetics of morroniside (MR) and loganin (LG) in rats after oral administration of raw and wine-processed Corni fructus by UPLC-QqQ-MS/MS. Methods: Arctiin (AT) was used as internal standard, and the plasma or tissue samples were extracted twice using ethyl acetate. Electrospray ionization (ESI) negative ion mode was used, and the multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM) was set in acquisition mode. The extraction and detection method is supported by selectivity, sensitivity, precision, accuracy, stability, extraction, recovery and matrix effect. The non-atrioventricular model of das2.0 software was used to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters. Results: The absorption rate of MR (PTmax=0.092) and LG (PTmax=0.092) in Corni Fructus after wine-processing was faster in rats. The mean residence time was longer, and distribution of MR (PMRT0~t = 0.294) and LG (PMRT0~t = 0.000) in wine-processed Corni Fructus group increased in liver and kidneys. Conclusion: The proposed method has been successfully validated and is suitable for studying the pharmacokinetics of the two analytes in rats.

Angelicae pubescentis radix (APR) is widely applied in treating rheumatoid arthritis in China. Coumarins are the major active compounds of APR extract including columbianetin, columbianetin acetate, osthole, and columbianadin. The in vivo behavior of the four major coumarins of APR has not been systematically reported. A feasible and reliable ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method was established and validated for the quantification of the above four coumarins in rat various tissues (including heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, uterus, ovary, and muscle) after oral administration of APR extract. The separation was implemented on a Waters ACQUITY BEH C18 column (4.6 mm × 100 mm, 1.7 μm) with gradient mobile phase comprising acetonitrile-water (with 1mM formic acid) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The tissue homogenate samples were prepared by liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate. The calibration curves were linear in the range of 1.6-20000 ng/mL for four coumarins with the lower limit of quantitation of 1.6 ng/mL in rat tissues. The intraday and interday precisions and recoveries were all within 80-100% with the relative standard deviations (RSDs) which were all less than 10.9%. The method was successfully applied to the tissue distribution research after oral administration of 6.0 g/kg APR extract to rat. The results revealed that the tissues distributions of four coumarins were in the liver, followed by the ovary, uterus, kidney, lung, heart, spleen, and muscle.

Mesaconitine is the predominant active ingredient in Aconitum carmichaelii Debx. The compound 10-hydroxy mesaconitine is one known metabolite of mesaconitine and is toxic. In order to better understand its pharmacokinetics, UPLC-MS/MS was used in this paper to measure the concentration of 10-hydroxy mesaconitine in the plasma of rats after oral (5 mg/kg) and intravenous (0.1 mg/kg) administration of 10-hydroxy mesaconitine. The concentrations of 10-hydroxy mesaconitine in rat plasma measured in the standard curve covered the range of 0.3–60 ng/mL. The intraday and interday precisions of the samples of 10-hydroxy mesaconitine in rat plasma were lower than 15%. In addition, the accuracies ranged between 96.0% and 109.3%, the matrix effects ranged between 88.9% and 98.1%, and the recoveries were all higher than 79.1%. The AUC(0 − t) values were 23.6 ± 5.9 and 207.6 ± 72.9 ng/mL·h for intravenous and oral administration, respectively, and the bioavailability of 10-hydroxy mesaconitine was 17.6%. Lastly, t1/2 was 1.3 ± 0.6 h and 3.1 ± 0.4 h for intravenous and oral administration, respectively.

The contribution of the metabolites of linezolid to the associated myelosuppression is unknown in patients who are renal impairment. In this research, the purpose of our experiment was to explore and develop a quick and robust ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) assay for the determination of linezolid and its metabolite PNU-142300 in human serum simultaneously. The analytes were prepared using a simple and convenient approach with acetonitrile for protein crash, and then separated from the matrix on a Waters Acquity Ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) BEH C18 (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 1.7 μm) column in a program of gradient elution, where the mobile phase was consisted of water with 0.1% formic acid and acetonitrile, and was placed at 0.40 ml/min flow rate. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was employed and conducted for UPLC-MS/MS detection with ion transitions at m/z 338.01 → 296.03 for linezolid, m/z 369.96 → 327.98 for PNU-142300 and m/z 370.98 → 342.99 for tedizolid (Internal standard, IS), respectively. This method had good linearity respectively in the calibration range of 0.01–20 μg/ml for linezolid, and 0.05–100 μg/ml for PNU-142300. In the intra- and inter-day, the precision of linezolid and PNU-142300 was below 14.2%, and the accuracy in this method was determined to be from −9.7 to 12.8%. In addition, recovery and matrix effect of the analytes were all found to be acceptable, and the analytes during the assay and storage in serum samples were observed to be stable. The novel optimized UPLC-MS/MS assay was also successfully employed to determine the concentration levels of linezolid and PNU-142300 in human serum. The results showed that linezolid-associated myelosuppression occurs more frequently in patients with renal insufficiency, and the metabolite-to-parent concentration ratio of PNU-142300 is predicted to reduce this toxicity of myelosuppression.

Abstract An improved analytical method was developed for simultaneous quantification of seven carbamates in milk by ultra-performance LC combined with electrospray ionization triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. Samples were extracted and purified using a modified Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe (QuEChERS) method. The LOQs ranged from 0.033 to 0.23 μg/kg; reasonable recoveries (85.4 to 110.9%) of the seven carbamates in milk were demonstrated at different spike levels. The developed analytical method would be appropriate for the routine, high throughput, high sensitivity quantification of the seven carbamates using modified QuEChERS pretreatment.

Abstract Eugenitin is a non-volatile chromone derivative which is always found in dried flower buds of Syzygium aromaticum L. (Merr.) & L.M. Perry. Until now, there were no reports about the pharmacokinetics of eugenitin in biological fluids. A UPLC-MS/MS method developed to determine eugenitin in mouse blood. The blood samples were prepared by protein precipitation with acetonitrile. Chrysin (internal standard, IS) and eugenitin were gradient eluted by mobile phase of acetonitrile and water (0.1% formic acid) in a BEH C18 column. The multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) of m/z 221.1→206.0 for eugenitin and m/z 255.1→152.9 for IS with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source was used for quantitative detection. The calibration curve ranged from 0.5 to 500 ng/mL (r > 0.995). The accuracy ranged from 98 to 113%, the precision was less than 12%, and the matrix effect was between 86 and 94%, the recovery was better than 81%. The developed method was successfully used for pharmacokinetics of eugenitin in mice after intravenous (5 mg/kg) and oral (20 mg/kg) administration, and the absolute availability of eugenitin was 12%.

In recent years the European Scientific Committee on Food has frequently expressed its opinion on Fusarium toxins, setting limits, regulations and guidelines in order to reduce their levels in raw materials and food commodities. Trichothecenes are known as DNA and mitochondrial metabolism inhibitors, representing the largest group (over 170 compounds) of Fusarium mycotoxins. Zearalenone (ZEA) is also produced by Fusarium species. It is found almost entirely in grains and has a mainly oestrogenic effect. Wheat-based products (such as bread and pasta) are the predominant source of deoxynivalenol (DON) and nivalenol (NIV) intake, while the highest amounts of T-2 and HT-2 toxins were observed mainly in oat-based products. Therefore, food companies are progressively being forced to set up analytical methods in their laboratories for determining these kinds of toxins in an accurate, sensitive and rapid way. Following this issue, we set up a liquid chromatography-electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-IonTrap-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous determination of several types of A and B trichothecenes, together with ZEA, minimising the matrix effect by using specific fragmentation parameters in positive or negative ion modes and dedicated internal standards: quantification of trichothecenes was done with isotope substituted (13C15)-deoxynivalenol, while quantification of ZEA was performed by the contemporaneous use of Zearalanone (ZAN). Sample extraction was performed with acetonitrile/water mixtures, MycoSep® columns were used for fast and effective clean-up procedure and detection was carried out in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Spiking blank cereal samples, the method was validated in terms of detection limits (reaching µg/ kg levels), linearity, recovery, precision (RSD<5%) and accuracy. Method performances were finally tested on oat and durum wheat samples. In conclusion, ion trap instruments can currently provide high-throughput LC/MSn mycotoxin analysis where sensitivity, reliability and productivity coexist in an interesting and good compromise for food industry applications.

Background: Danyikangtai powder, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, shows promise to become a novel drug candidate for the simultaneous treatment of chronic cholecystitis and chronic pancreatitis. However, the pharmacokinetic behavior of Danyikangtai powder remains unclear. Objective: We investigated the comparative pharmacokinetics of four flavonoids in rats after oral administration of Danyikangtai powder and three compatibilites. Materials and methods: The comparative pharmacokinetics was studied by ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS). Chromatographic separation was performed on an Universil XB-C18 column with a gradient mobile phase containing 0.1% (v/v) aqueous formic acid and acetonitrile. All analytes and internal standard were quantitated in the multiple reaction monitoring mode with a positive electrospray ionization interface. Results and discussion: Danyikangtai powder and Scutellariae radix have similar pharmacokinetic behaviors in rats after oral administration. However, the elimination of four flavonoids in rats after oral administration of Danyikangtai powder was accelerated, which was possibly related to the reduction of the potential hepatotoxicity of Scutellariae radix. The varying degrees of change in pharmacokinetic parameters after oral administration of different herb combinations suggested that herb–herb interactions occurred in vivo. Conclusions: This study will be helpful to reveal the safety, rational and mechanism of Danyikangtai powder formula compatibility, thereby providing pre-clinical research data for its new drug development and guidance for its rational clinical application.

Gomisin D, a lignan compound isolated from Fructus Schisandra, is a potential antidiabetic and anti-Alzheimer’s agent. Recently, gomisin D was used as a quality marker of some traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulas. In this study, a rapid ultra-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed and validated to quantify gomisin D in rat plasma for a pharmacokinetic and bioavailability study. Acetonitrile was used to precipitate plasma proteins. Separations were performed on a BEH C18 column with a gradient mobile phase comprising of acetonitrile and water (0.1% formic acid). An electrospray ionization source was applied and operated in the positive ion mode. The multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM) was utilized to quantify gomisin D and nomilin (internal standard, IS) using the transitions of m/z 531.2 → 383.1 and m/z 515.3 → 161.0, respectively. The calibration curve was linear over the working range from 1 to 4000 ng/mL (R2 = 0.993). The intra- and interday precision ranged from 1.9% to 12.9%. The extraction recovery of gomisin D was in the range of 79.2–86.3%. The validated UPLC-MS/MS method was then used to obtain the pharmacokinetic characteristics of gomisin D after intravenous (5 mg/kg) and intragastric (50 mg/kg) administration to rats. The bioavailability of gomisin D was 107.6%, indicating that this compound may become a promising intragastrical medication. Our results provided useful information for further preclinical studies on gomisin D.
