Abstract:OBJECTIVE To develop a simple, sensitive and reliable method for simultaneous quantification of 4 biological active components of total flavonoids of Desmodium styracifolium (TFDS), including schaftoside, vicenin-1, vicenin-2 and vicenin-3, in the plasma of SD rats by HPLC-QTRAP-MS/MS, and study the pharmacokinetic characteristics of TFDS after oral administration of different doses (50, 100, 200 mg·kg-1) in SD rats. METHODS The analytes were separated using an ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3 column with gradient elution, using mobile phase of methanol / water containing 0.1% formic acid (V/V). The detection was performed in negative multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode with electrospray ionization (ESI) source. RESULTS The calibration curves obtained were linear over the range from 0.5 to 200 ng·mL-1. The relative standard deviations of intra-and inter-batch precision and assay accuracy were below 15.0% with high recovery. The analytes were proved to be stable during all sample storage, preparation and analytic procedures. The results of the pharmacokinetic studies of TFDS in SD rats showed the absorption of each component was fast. Among them, the plasma concentration of schaftoside was the highest, followed by vicenin-3, vicenin-2 and vicenin-1. A positive correlation has been observed between the Cmax and AUC0-t of active components and the dose of TFDS. CONCLUSION These studies could provide reliable reference data and theoretical support for the future clinical studies of TFDS.
