Abstract
Zuogui Pill is a kidney-yin-tonifying formula in traditional Chinese medicine that is widely used to manage osteoporosis with kidney-yin-deficiency in China. Herein, an efficient and accurate high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed to determine the concentrations of 5 bioactive compounds in rat plasma following oral administration of Zuogui Pill. Because drug absorption and distribution differ under physiological and pathological conditions, the established method was used to quantify blood components and dynamic change in osteoporotic rats with different syndrome types. Moreover, integrated pharmacokinetic study was conducted to describe the overall pharmacokinetic characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine. The results showed that the absorption, distribution, and metabolism of Zuogui Pill varied widely under different states. The bioavailability of most active components showed significant advantages in osteoporotic rats with kidney-yin-deficiency, which corresponds to the opinion that Zuogui Pill has the effect of nourishing kidney-yin. It is hoped that this finding could interpret the pharmacodynamic substances and mechanism of Zuogui Pill in the treatment of osteoporosis with kidney-yin-deficiency.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Analytical Chemistry publishes original research articles that report new experimental results and methods, especially in relation to important analytes, difficult matrices, and topical samples. Investigations may be fundamental, or else related to specific applications; examples being biological, environmental and food testing, and analysis in chemical synthesis and materials processing.
As well as original research, the International Journal of Analytical Chemistry also publishes focused review articles that examine the state of the art, identify emerging trends, and suggest future directions for developing fields.
