蛋白质在金属螯合亲和色谱中的竞争洗脱

以细胞色素C和溶菌酶为代表,研究了蛋白质在强亲和性金属螯合柱(IDA-Cu(Ⅱ))上的保留行为。考察了竞争剂、缓冲体系对蛋白质在IDA-Cu(Ⅱ)柱上保留值的影响。发现在PBS和NaAc-HAc缓冲体系用咪唑(Imid)和甘氨酸(Gly)作竞争剂,可使蛋白质得到较好分离;在Gly和Imid竞争体系,分别研究了pH值变化对蛋白质在IDA-Cu(Ⅱ)柱上保留值的影响。为使蛋白质在IDA-Cu(Ⅱ)柱上得到有效分离且减少固定金属Cu2+的流失,对Gly体系,最好采用竞争置换和降低pH值相结合的方式进行洗脱。对Imid体系,溶液pH值应控制在6.0为宜,低pH值下蛋白质则不宜被洗脱。结果表明,竞争剂浓度与蛋白质在IDA-Cu(Ⅱ)柱上的保留关系均符合计量置换模型。随着竞争剂浓度的增加,蛋白质的保留值减小。保留因子(k′)的对数与竞争剂浓度倒数(1/[D])的对数具有良好的线性关系,其线性相关系数分别在0.984和0.986以上。     

分光光度法测定当归补血汤及其组分单味药提取液的抗氧化能力

对复方当归补血汤及其组成单味药即当归和黄芪的水提取液,以及两者的单味药的水提取液及乙醇提取液的抗氧化能力作了比较研究。将由Fenton反应产生的羟自由基在pH4.6乙酸盐缓冲溶液与水杨酸反应,生成紫红色的2,3-二羟基苯甲酸,其吸收峰在510nm波长处。当有任一抗氧化组分存在于此反应体系时,由于其与反应体系中的羟自由基的优先反应,使此体系在510nm处的吸光度下降。据此,对上述药物提取液的抗氧化能力进行了试验。所得结果表明:上述药物的提取液均呈良好的抗氧化能力(即清除羟自由基的能力),而复方当归补血汤中主成分药物的提取液(无论是水或乙醇的提取液)的抗氧化能力均高于单味药物的提取液。比较水提取液与乙醇提取液的抗氧化能力的结果表明,前者的效果更好。     

钙锌铁硒及B族维生素联合应用对大鼠小肠铅吸收的影响

通过小肠原位闭式灌流方法探讨了某些营养元素及维生素对大鼠小肠铅吸收的影响。体重280g左右Wistar大鼠分两组（各6只），对照组灌流液成分：40mgPb2/L蒸馏水；实验组灌流液成分：40mgPb2＋5g氯化钙＋1g醋酸锌＋5g氯化铁＋2mg亚硒酸钠＋30mgVitaminB1＋35mgVitaminB6＋10mg叶酸／L蒸馏水。灌流小肠长度15cm左右，灌流液20mL，时间20min，流速2mL/min。结果显示，实验组门静脉血铅浓度明显低于对照组（P＜0．01），说明本实验中所涉及各营养素联合应用能减少铅在大鼠小肠的吸收，但各自作用的贡献尚需进一步研究。     

脂质体荧光衰减技术预测10种中药单体的被动吸收

Danggui Buxue Decoction: Comparative pharmacokinetic research on six bio-active components in different states by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry after oral administration

Danggui Buxue Decoction is a classic formula containing Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis Radix in a 5:1 ratio and has been extensively used to treat blood deficiency for thousands of years. The aim of the study was to investigate the differences in plasma protein binding, pharmacokinetics, and tissue distribution of Danggui Buxue Decoction in normal and blood-deficient rats by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The effects on peripheral blood routine were verified. The compounds exhibited higher plasma protein binding and absorption in the model group compared to the control group, except formononetin. The six ingredients were distributed widely, and the highest concentrations were detected in the heart and uterus. As has been demonstrated in the previous study of the effect of Danggui Buxue Decoction, its potential is to serve as an effective traditional Chinese medicine formula for treating cardiovascular diseases and impacting estrogenic properties, which reveals the potential target organs of Danggui Buxue Decoction the heart and uterus. Our findings suggested that the absorption and distribution of different components in Danggui Buxue Decoction varies depending on the pathological state, molecular weight, lipid solubility, transporter-mediated efflux, and other factors.     

Study on the dynamic metabolic characteristic of main active ingredients in Danggui Buxue Decoction by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry based on in situ sequential metabolism strategy

Danggui Buxue Decoction is a classic formula for replenishing qi and nourishing blood. Despite its widespread use, its dynamic metabolism involved remains unclear. Based on the sequential metabolism strategy, blood samples from different metabolic sites were obtained via in situ closed intestine ring integrated with a jugular venous continuous blood supply technique. An ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-linear triple quadruple-Orbitrap-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed for the identification of prototypes and metabolites in rat plasma. The dynamic absorption and metabolic landscape of flavonoids, saponins, and phthalides were characterized. Flavonoids could be deglycosylated, deacetylated, demethylated, dehydroxylated, and glucuronicated in the gut and then absorbed for further metabolism. Jejunum is an important metabolic site for saponins biotransformation. Saponins that are substituted by Acetyl groups tend to lose their acetyl groups and convert to Astragaloside IV in the jejunum. Phthalides could be hydroxylated and glucuronidated in the gut and then absorbed for further metabolism. Seven components serve as crucial joints in the metabolic network and are potential candidates for the quality control of Danggui Buxue Decoction. The sequential metabolism strategy described in this study could be useful for characterizing the metabolic pathways of Chinese medicine and natural products in the digestive system.

Investigation of vesicle electrokinetic chromatography as an in vitro assay for the estimation of intestinal permeability of pharmaceutical drug candidates

As the pharmaceutical industry continues the daunting search for novel drug candidates, there remains a need for rapid screening methods not only for biological activity, but for physiochemical properties as well. It is invaluable that adequate model systems for absorption and/or bioavailability be developed early in the drug evaluation process to avoid the loss of promising compounds late in development. The focus of this paper is the use of vesicle EKC (VEKC) as a high-throughput, easy, cost-effective, and predictive model for the passive transcellular diffusion of drug candidates in the intestinal epithelium. Vesicles are large aggregates of molecules containing a spherical bilayer structure encapsulating an internal cavity of solvent. It is this bilayer structure that makes vesicles attractive as model membranes. In this study, vesicles were synthesized from both phospholipids and surfactant aggregates, and then employed as pseudostationary phases in EKC (VEKC). The interaction of drug molecules with vesicles in EKC was then used as the basis for an in vitro assay to evaluate passive diffusion. The VEKC technique showed a statistical correlation between the retention of drug candidates using surfactant and phospholipid vesicles and passive diffusion data (log Pow and colon adenocarcinoma). VEKC analysis offers high-throughput capabilities due to the short run times, low sample, and solvent volumes necessary, as well as instrument automation. However, due to the complexity of drug absorption in the intestine, difficulty arises when a single in vitro model is used to predict in vivo absorption characteristics. Therefore, the retention of drug candidates using VEKC in conjunction with other permeability prediction methods can provide a primary screen for a large number of drug candidates early in the drug discovery process with minimal resources.     

Gastrointestinal absorption of chlorothiazide: evaluation of a method using salicylazosulfapyridine and acetaminophen as the marker compounds for determination of the gastrointestinal transit time in the dog

Gastrointestinal absorption properties of chlorothiazide was investigated in dogs by a double-marker method using acetaminophen and salicylazosulfapyridine as the markers. The mean absorption time of acetaminophen (MATAAP) and the time for first appearance of sulfapyridine in plasma (TFASP) were used for the assessment of gastric emptying and oro-colonic transit times, respectively. Chlorothiazide absorption efficiency was increased by pretreatment with atropine sulfate. There was a good correlation between MATAAP and the extent of bioavailability of chlorothiazide, however, there was no correlation between TFASP and the extent of bioavailability of the drug. These results indicate that chlorothiazide absorption takes place primarily in a limited segment of the upper small intestine, supporting the assumption reported previously. This double-marker method seems to be a useful tool for the investigation of the relationship between drug absorption and its gastrointestinal transit.     

Simultaneous determination of bioactive constituents in Danggui Buxue Tang for quality control by HPLC coupled with a diode array detector,an evaporative light scattering detector and mass spectrometry

Danggui Buxue Tang (DBT), a classical traditional Chinese formula comprising Radix Angelicae Sinensis (RAS) and Radix Astragali (RA), has been widely used to treat menopausal irregularity in Chinese women for nearly 800 years. In this study, a comprehensive analytical method of simultaneously determining the main types of bioactive constituents, eighteen in all from the formula, involving flavonoids, saponins, organic acid and some volatile compounds, was developed. This method was based on HPLC coupled to a diode array and evaporative light scattering detectors (HPLC-DAD-ELSD) on a common reverse-phase C(18) column. Liquid chromatography coupled with on-line electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) was also used to further validate and analyze the constituents. It was found that 0.3% aqueous formic acid and acetonitrile was the optimum mobile phase for gradient elution. This method, which showed good precision and accuracy, was successfully used to quantify the bioactive constituents in six products. As a result, the validated HPLC method, together with the LC-ESI-MS analysis, provided a new basis for assessing the quality of traditional Chinese medicinal compound preparations (TCMCPs) consisting of many bioactive components.
