UHPLC–MS/MS determination and pharmacokinetic study of plantamajoside in rat plasma after oral administration of single plantamajoside and Plantago asiatica extract

A sensitive and reliable ultra‐high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) method was developed for quantitation of plantamajoside in rat plasma. First, this study compared the pharmacokinetic properties of plantamajoside after oral administration of Plantago asiatica extract and pure plantamajoside in rat plasma with approximately the same dosage of 8.98 mg/kg. Second, chromatographic separation was performed on an Acquity HSS C₁₈ column (50 × 2.1 mm, p.d.1.7 μm) with isocratic elution using methanol–water (80:20, v /v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.25 mL/min. The calibration curves were linear over the range of 0.1–100 ng/mL for plantamajoside. At different time points (0, 0.083, 0.167, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 h) after administration, the concentrations of plantamajoside in plasma were measured and the main pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated. The study indicates that the pharmacokinetics of plantamajoside in rat plasma have significant differences between two groups.     

车前草降血尿酸有效成分提取工艺的研究

建立小鼠急性高尿酸血症模型,通过灌胃给药考察车前草的降血尿酸作用.采用正交试验设计,以车前草所含大车前苷为指标,考察乙醇浓度、提取时间、提取次数和乙醇用量4种因素对提取结果的影响.大车前苷和血尿酸的含量均用HPLC法测定.结果表明,车前草醇提组的小鼠血清尿酸水平明显低于模型组(P0.05).乙醇浓度、提取时间、提取次数和乙醇用量4种因素对车前草乙醇提取物中的大车前苷含量均有显著影响.最佳提取工艺为用10倍药材量的60%乙醇提取2次,每次2 h.
