HPLC determination and pharmacokinetic studies of salvianolic acid B in rat plasma after oral administration of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae extract.

A precise and reproducible HPLC method has been established and validated for determination of salvianolic acid B (SalB) in rat plasma after oral administration of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae extract. Liquid-liquid extraction was adopted for the sample preparation. Separation was accomplished on a C(18) column with a linear gradient elution consisting of acetonitrile and aqueous phosphoric acid. Ultraviolet detection was at 280 nm. The method was validated over the concentration range 10.8-259.4 microg/mL using 1 mL of plasma. The assay was linear over this concentration range with a coefficient of variation less than 7%. The extraction recovery of SalB was within the range 71-83% with RSD 11%. The mean recovery of the internal standard was 84% (n = 6) with RSD of 5.6%. This method is suitable to determine SalB in plasma and to investigate the pharmacokinetics of SalB.

Determination of four active saponins of Panax notoginseng in rat feces by high-performance liquid chromatography.

A method is developed for the determination of ginsenoside Rg1, Rb1, Rd, and notoginsenoside R1 of Panax notoginseng (PNS) in rat feces after oral and intravenous administration of total saponins of PNS. The fecal samples are treated with organic extraction and solid-phase extraction prior to high-performance liquid chromatography. The calibration curves for the four saponins are linear in the given concentration ranges. The precision of the method is in the range of 1.0-10.0% (relative standard deviation), and the accuracy is between 80.0% and 110%. The recoveries of this method are all over 75%. This method is successfully applied to the analyses of fecal samples of rats treated with PNS.

Solid-phase extraction-liquid chromatographic method for the determination and pharmacokinetic studies of albiflorin and paeoniflorin in rat serum after oral administration of Si-Wu decoction.

A sensitive and rapid high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with solid-phase extraction (SPE) to simultaneously determine albiflorin and paeoniflorin in rat serum was described. Serum samples were pretreated with solid-phase extraction using Extract-Clean cartridges, and the extracts were analyzed by HPLC on a reversed-phase C(18) column and a mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.03% formic acid (17:83 (v/v)) with ultraviolet detection at 230 nm. Pentoxifylline was used as the internal standard (IS). The linear ranges of the calibration curves were 29-1450 ng/ml for albiflorin and 10-2000 ng/ml for paeoniflorin. The intra- and inter-day precisions (R.S.D.) were <or=10.49% for albiflorin and <or=11.29% for paeoniflorin, respectively. Mean recovery was determined to be 89.75% for albiflorin and 85.82% for paeoniflorin. The limit of quantification was 29 ng/ml for albiflorin and 10 ng/ml for paeoniflorin, respectively. The validated method was applicable to pharmacokinetic studies of albiflorin and paeoniflorin from rat serum after oral administration of Si-Wu decoction. The pharmacokinetic study indicated that albiflorin and paeoniflorin had poor absorption and rapid elimination. This assay result was necessary for the pharmacokinetic evaluation of Si-Wu decoction.

Simultaneous determination of albiflorin and paeoniflorin in rat urine by solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography following oral administration of Si-Wu decoction.

A high performance liquid chromatographic method (HPLC), together with solid phase extraction (SPE), was developed for simultaneous determination of albiflorin and paeoniflorin in rat urine after oral administration of Si-Wu decoction. The samples were pretreated with solid phase extraction using Extract-Cleantrade mark cartridges. Analysis of the extract was performed on a reversed-phase C18 column and a mobile phase made up of acetonitrile and 0.03% formic acid (17:83, v/v). UV detection was set at 230 nm. The assay was linear over the range 2.625-52.50 mg/mL for albiflorin and 3.875-77.50 microg/mL for paeoniflorin. The average percentage recoveries of three spiked urines were 97.01 +/- 3.32 and 102.32 +/- 6.97 for albiflorin and paeoniflorin, respectively. The intra-day precision (RSD) ranged from 0.21 to 1.79% at concentrations of 4.20, 10.50, 26.25 and 39.375 microg/mL of albiflorin and 0.12 to 2.92% at concentrations of 3.875, 10.85, 23.25 and 58.125 microg/mL of paeoniflorin, and inter-day precision (RSD) was from 1.02 to 1.86% for albiflorin and 0.94 to 3.30% for paeoniflorin, at the same four concentrations. This method was applied in order to analyze albiflorin and paeoniflorin in rat urine following oral administration of traditional Chinese medicinal preparation of Si-Wu decoction.

HPLC determination of four active saponins from Panax notoginseng in rat serum and its application to pharmacokinetic studies.

Four main active saponins (ginsenosides Rg1, Rb1, Rd and notoginsenoside R1) in Panax notoginseng in rat serum after oral and intravenous administration of total saponins of P. notoginseng (PNS) to rats were determined using a simple and sensitive high-performance chromatographic method. The serum samples were pretreated with solid-phase extraction before analysis. The calibration curves for the four saponins were linear in the given concentration ranges. The intra-day and inter-day assay coefficients in serum were less than 10.0% and the recoveries of the method were higher than 80.0% in the high, middle and low concentrations. This method was applied to study the pharmacokinetics following oral and intravenous administration of PNS.
