Houttuynia essential oil (HEO) has excellent antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and other pharmacological effects, but the lack of effective analytical methods to quantify HEO in plasma has hindered its better clinical monitoring. Houttuynine (Hou) is one of the main active ingredients and quality control substances of HEO, so the pharmacokinetic study of HEO could be conducted by determining Hou blood concentration. Hou is active and not stable in plasma, which makes its blood concentration difficult to measure. In this work, a novel liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for Hou determination in rat blood was established that involves Hou being derivatized with 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine to form a stable compound to prevent degradation. Herein, p-Tolualdehyde-2,4-dinitrophenylphenylhydrazone was selected as an internal standard substance and the LC-MS/MS method was evaluated for selectivity, precision, accuracy, calibration limit, matrix effect, recovery, and stability. Good linearity (r2 = 0.998) was reached in the range of 2–2000 ng/mL, and the lower limit of quantification of Hou was determined to be 2 ng/mL. The mean intra-assay accuracy ranged from 77.7% to 115.6%, whereas the intra-assay precision (relative standard deviation, RSD) was below 11.42%. The matrix effect value for Hou in rat plasma was greater than 75%, and for the internal standard (IS) it was 104.56% ± 3.62%. The extraction recovery of Hou were no less than 90%, and for the IS it was 96.50% ± 4.68%. Our method is sensitive and reliable and has been successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic analysis of Hou in rats given HEO via gavage and injection.

AbstractSarecycline is a narrow-spectrum antibiotic for the treatment of acne, which is a chronic inflammatory disease of the hair follicle sebaceous glands. In the study, UPLC-MS/MS was used to establish a rapid and accurate analytical method. The sarecycline was determined with poziotinib as internal standard (IS) in rat plasma. An ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3 column (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.8 μm) could performe chromatographic separation with the mobile phase (methanol: water of 0.1% formic acid) with gradient elution. The ions of target fragment were m/z 488.19→410.14 for sarecycline and m/z 492.06→354.55 for poziotinib, which could quantify the electrospray ionization of positive multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The linear calibration curve of the concentration range was 1–1,000 ng/mL for sarecycline with a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 1 ng/mL. The mean recovery was between 82.46 and 95.85% for sarecycline and poziotinib in rat plasma. RSD for precision of inter-day and intra-day were between 3.24 and 13.36%, and the accuracy ranged from 105.26 to 109.75%. The developed and validated method was perfectly used in the pharmacokinetic study and bioavailability of sarecycline after intravenous and oral administration in rats.

Background: The Rumex nepalensis Spreng (RNS) is a traditional Chinese medicine containing rich anthraquinones. However, through proper investigation we have found that there were no reports on the pharmacokinetics of RNS extract in rats. </P><P> Objective: We study on the pharmacokinetic behaviors of emodin, chrysophanol and physcion after oral administration of RNS extract in rat to achieve a better understanding of further clinical application and conduct the preparation development of the herb. Methods: In the present study, a sensitive and rapid ultra-fast liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated to determine the three anthraquinones such as chrysophanol, emodin and physcion in rat plasma along with danthron as the internal standard (IS). The analytes and IS were separated on an Acquity UPLC HSS T3 column (100 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.8 µm) by using the mobile phase of water with 3 mM ammonium acetate and acetonitrile as gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.4 mL min -1. The detection was performed on a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer equipped with electrospray ionization (ESI) by multiple reactions monitoring (MRM) of the transitions at m/z 253.1 → 225.0 for chrysophanol, 269.0 → 224.9 for emodin, 282.7→ 240.0 for physcion and m/z 239.0 → 211.0 for IS. The limit of detection and lower limit of quantification were both 2 ng mL -1 in rat plasma. Results: Good linearity of this method was obtained in the range of 2-1000 ng mL -1 , and the correlation coefficient was greater than 0.990. According to regulatory guidelines, the established method was fully validated, and the results were within acceptable limits. Conclusion: The validated method was successfully applied into a pharmacokinetic study of orally administered RNS extract in rats.

Abstract Glaucocalyxin A, a novel potent negative Akt regulator, is a major active constituent of Rabdosia japonica. A simple, specific and sensitive ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the quantification of glaucocalyxin A in rat plasma, lung and brain tissues after intravenous administration. Sample preparation was carried out through a simple liqiud–liquid extraction with ethyl acetate using bullatine A as internal standard. The chromatographic separation was achieved by using an Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18 column (3.0 mm × 100 mm, 1.8 μm) with a mobile phase of acetonitrile and water containing 0.1% formic acid in a gradient elution. Mass spectrometry analysis was conducted in positive ionization mode with multiple reaction monitoring transitions at m/z 333.2 → 157.1 for glaucocalyxin A and m/z 344.2 → 128.1 for IS. Calibration curves were linear over the ranges of 20.0–4000 ng/mL for both plasma and tissue samples (r2 &gt; 0.99). The Lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 0.284 ng/mL. The intra-day and inter-day precision relative standard deviation (RSD%) were &lt;14.9%, while the accuracy ranged from −12.5 to 17.0% for LLOQ and quality control samples. This UHPLC–MS/MS method was successfully applied in the pharmacokinetics, lung and brain tissue distributions of glaucocalyxin A after intravenous administration.

Abstract Leaves of Platycladus orientalis have been used as blood cooling and homeostatic therapy for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine. Emerging evidences of modern pharmacology have proved flavonoids as the key elements responsible for the efficacies. However, there has been no report on pharmacokinetic study of the flavonoids from Platycladus orientalis leaves extract. In this study, a sensitive and rapid ultra-flow liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was established and validated for the simultaneous determination of amentoflavone, afzelin, hinokiflavone and quercitrin in rat plasma. The four flavonoids and luteolin (internal standard, IS) were recovered from rat plasma by methanol–ethyl acetate (v:v, 50:50). Chromatographic separation was performed on a C18 column with gradient elution. Our results showed that the recoveries from spiked control samples were more than 85% for all analytes and IS. The relative standard deviations of intra-day and inter-day precision were within 15% while the REs ranged from −6.6% to 8.0%. The validated method in this study was successfully applied to pharmacokinetic study in healthy rats after oral administration of P. orientalis leaves extract.

Pharmacokinetic and metabolism studies were carried out on curculigoside C (CC), a natural product with good antioxidant and neuroprotective effects, with the purpose of investigating the effects of the hydroxyl group at C-3′ in curculigoside. A rapid and sensitive method with UPLC-MS was developed and fully validated for the first time in the pharmacokinetic analysis for quantification of CC in rat plasma. The assay was linear (R2 > 0.9984) over the concentration range of 1–2500 ng/mL, with the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) being 1 ng/mL. The intra-day and inter-day precision (expressed as relative standard deviation, RSD) ranged from 4.10% to 5.51% and 5.24% to 6.81%, respectively. The accuracy (relative error, RE) ranged from −3.28% to 0.56% and −5.83% to −1.44%, respectively. The recoveries ranged from 92.14% to 95.22%. This method was then applied to a pharmacokinetic study of rats after intragastric administration of 15, 30 and 60 mg/kg CC. The results revealed that CC exhibited rapid oral absorption (Tmax = 0.106 h, 0.111 h, and 0.111 h, respectively), high elimination (t1/2 = 2.022 h, 2.061 h, and 2.048 h, respectively) and low absolute bioavailability (2.01, 2.13, and 2.39%, respectively). Furthermore, an investigation on the metabolism of CC was performed by UPLC-QTOF-MSE. Twelve metabolites of CC from plasma, bile, urine and faeces of rats were confirmed. The main metabolic pathways of CC, which involve dehydration, glucosylation, desaturation, formylation, cysteine conjugation, demethylation and sulfonation, were profiled. In conclusion, this research has developed a sensitive quantitative method and demonstrated the metabolism of CC in vivo.

A sensitive HPLC method was developed for the quantitative determination of isoliquiritin apioside (ILA) and isoliquiritin (IL) in rat plasma. After protein precipitation with acetonitrile, chloroform was used to separate lipid-soluble impurities from the plasma samples and remove acetonitrile. A chromatography was carried out on Diamonsil C18 (150×4.6 mm; 5 μm) analytical column, using a mobile phase consisting of water (containing phosphoric acid 0.1%, v/v); acetonitrile (72 : 28, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The wavelength-switching technology was performed to determine ILA and IL at 360 nm and wogonoside (internal standard, IS) at 276 nm. The calibration curves of ILA and IL were fairly linear over the concentration ranges of 0.060–3.84 μg/mL (r=0.9954) and 0.075–4.80 μg/mL (r=0.9968), respectively. The average extract recoveries of ILA, IL, and IS were all over 80%. The precision and accuracy for all concentrations of quality controls and standards were within 15%. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 0.060 μg/mL for ILA and 0.075 μg/mL for IL. The method was used in pharmacokinetic study after an oral administration of Zhigancao extract to rats.
