Abstract
Bufei Huoxue capsule (BHC), consisting of Astragali Radix, Paeoniae Radix Rubra, and Psoraleae Fructus, demonstrates remarkable efficacy in treating various pulmonary conditions. In this research, an original approach using high-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was devised to quantitatively determine twenty components (calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside, methylnissolin, calycosin, genistein, formononetin, daidzein, angelicin, psoralen, astragaloside IV, 6′-O-galloyl paeoniflorin, benzoylpaeoniflorin, albiflorin, paeoniflorin, oxypaeoniflorin, psoralenoside, isopsoralenoside, catechin, kaempferol, p-coumaric acid, and protocatechuic acid) of BHC in rat plasma. For the twenty selected quantitative prototypes, all calibration curves exhibited excellent linearity (r ≥ 0.9926) within their respective linear ranges. All analytes showed intra-day and inter-day precision (RSD) below 13.41 %, with the accuracy varying between –13.56 % and 12.97 %. The extraction recoveries were measured in the interval of 62.17–96.05 %, and the matrix effects exhibited a range from 74.42 % to 115.96 %. The stability tests indicated that the twenty compounds maintained stability across four distinct storage conditions, and their relative standard deviations did not exceed 14.34 %. Following validation, this methodology was applied to determine the pharmacokinetic behavior of twenty compounds in BHC after oral administration to rats, with relevant pharmacokinetic parameters derived. The obtained data provided a valuable reference for future protocol enhancements and clinical applications.
期刊介绍:
This journal is an international medium directed towards the needs of academic, clinical, government and industrial analysis by publishing original research reports and critical reviews on pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis. It covers the interdisciplinary aspects of analysis in the pharmaceutical, biomedical and clinical sciences, including developments in analytical methodology, instrumentation, computation and interpretation. Submissions on novel applications focusing on drug purity and stability studies, pharmacokinetics, therapeutic monitoring, metabolic profiling; drug-related aspects of analytical biochemistry and forensic toxicology; quality assurance in the pharmaceutical industry are also welcome.
Studies from areas of well established and poorly selective methods, such as UV-VIS spectrophotometry (including derivative and multi-wavelength measurements), basic electroanalytical (potentiometric, polarographic and voltammetric) methods, fluorimetry, flow-injection analysis, etc. are accepted for publication in exceptional cases only, if a unique and substantial advantage over presently known systems is demonstrated. The same applies to the assay of simple drug formulations by any kind of methods and the determination of drugs in biological samples based merely on spiked samples. Drug purity/stability studies should contain information on the structure elucidation of the impurities/degradants.
