Angelicae pubescentis radix (APR) is widely applied in treating rheumatoid arthritis in China. Coumarins are the major active compounds of APR extract including columbianetin, columbianetin acetate, osthole, and columbianadin. The in vivo behavior of the four major coumarins of APR has not been systematically reported. A feasible and reliable ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method was established and validated for the quantification of the above four coumarins in rat various tissues (including heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, uterus, ovary, and muscle) after oral administration of APR extract. The separation was implemented on a Waters ACQUITY BEH C18 column (4.6 mm × 100 mm, 1.7 μm) with gradient mobile phase comprising acetonitrile-water (with 1mM formic acid) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The tissue homogenate samples were prepared by liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate. The calibration curves were linear in the range of 1.6-20000 ng/mL for four coumarins with the lower limit of quantitation of 1.6 ng/mL in rat tissues. The intraday and interday precisions and recoveries were all within 80-100% with the relative standard deviations (RSDs) which were all less than 10.9%. The method was successfully applied to the tissue distribution research after oral administration of 6.0 g/kg APR extract to rat. The results revealed that the tissues distributions of four coumarins were in the liver, followed by the ovary, uterus, kidney, lung, heart, spleen, and muscle.

Zanthoxylum nitidum (Roxb.) DC (Rutaceae), called as “liangmianzhen” in China, is well known for its anti-inflammation and analgesic effect. Alkaloids are its main active constituents. However, little has been known about the absorption of main alkaloids in vivo. In this study, an ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry was employed for identification of absorbed alkaloids in rats after oral administration of Z. nitidum decoction. By analyzing the fragmentation patterns, a total of nineteen alkaloids were exactly or tentatively identified in rat plasma after treatment, of which magnoflorine, α-allocryptopine, and skimmianine are dominant. Moreover, a high performance liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry method was developed for simultaneous quantification of magnoflorine, α-allocryptopine, and skimmianine, and successfully applied to pharmacokinetic study in rats after oral administration of Z. nitidum decoction. The research would contribute to comprehensive understanding of the material basis and function mechanism of Z. nitidum decoction.

The dissipation behaviors of acetamiprid and chlorantraniliprole in kimchi cabbages were studied under open-field conditions. A simple and rapid analytical method was developed using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). The multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) conditions of two pesticides were optimized to quantify and identify the pesticide residues. Sample preparation was performed by the QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) method. Average recovery rates at the different spiked levels (0.05 and 0.25 mg/kg) were in the range of 103.6–113.9% (acetamiprid) and 80.8–91.2% (chlorantraniliprole), and the relative standard deviations were ≤4.3% for all. The dissipation kinetics were assessed using first-order equations after spraying acetamiprid and chlorantraniliprole individually on kimchi cabbages. The biological half-lives in field 1 and 2 were 5.2 and 6.3 days (acetamiprid) and 10.0 and 15.2 days (chlorantraniliprole), respectively. Based on the dissipation equations, the pre-harvest residue limits (PHRLs) corresponding to each day before harvest were suggested as the guidelines to meet the MRL on harvest day. It was also predicted that the terminal residues observed after multiple sprayings (three and seven days) would be below the MRL when harvested, in compliance with the established pre-harvest intervals.

In this study, a new and rapid spectrofluorometry and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods were developed for determination of metoprolol in pure and pharmaceutical dosage forms. The solvent system, wavelength of detection and chromatographic conditions were optimized in order to maximize the sensitivity of both the proposed methods. The linearity was established over the concentration range of 50-4000 ng ml-1 for spectrofluorometry and 5.0-300 ng ml-1 for HPLC methods. The intra- and inter-day relative standard deviation (RSD) was less than 4.14 and 3.86% for spectrofluorometry and HPLC, respectively. Limit of quantitation was determined as 30 and 5.0 ng ml-1 for spectrofluorometry and HPLC, respectively. No interference was found from tablet excipients at the selected assay conditions. The methods were applied for the quality control of commercial metoprolol dosage forms to quantify the drug and to check the formulation content uniformity.

A marine fibrinolytic compound was studied for use in thrombolytic therapy. Firstly, the absorption and transportation characteristics of 2,5-BHPA (2,5-BHPA:2,5-Bis-[8-(4,8-dimethyl-nona-3,7-dienyl)-5,7-dihydroxy-8-methyl-3-keto-1,2,7,8-tertahydro-6H-pyran[a]isoindol-2-yl]-pentanoic acid, a novel pyran-isoindolone derivative with bioactivity isolated from a rare marine microorganism in our laboratory) in the human Caco-2 cells monolayer model were investigated. We collected 2,5-BHPA in the cells to calculate the total recovery, and its concentration was analyzed by LC/MS/MS (Liquid Chromatography/ Mass Spectrum/ Mass Spectrum). The results showed that 2,5-BHPA has low permeability and low total recoveries in the Caco-2 cells membrane. Pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of 2,5-BHPA were investigated in beagle dogs using HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) after intravenous administration of three different doses (7.5, 5.0, 2.5 mg·kg−1). Pharmacokinetic data indicated that 2,5-BHPA fitted well to a two-compartment model. Elimination half-lives (T1/2) were 49 ± 2, 48 ± 2, and 49 ± 2 min, respectively; the peak concentrations (Cmax) were 56.48 ± 6.23, 48.63 ± 5.53, and 13.64 ± 2.76 μg·mL−1, respectively; clearance rates (CL) were 0.0062 ± 0.0004, 0.0071 ± 0.0008, and 0.0092 ±0.0006 L·min−1·kg−1, respectively; mean retention times (MRT) were 28.17 ± 1.16, 26.23 ± 0.35, and 28.66 ± 0.84 min, respectively. The low penetrability of 2,5-BHPA indicated that the intravenous route of administration is more appropriate than the oral route. Meanwhile, 2,5-BHPA showed a good pharmacokinetic profile in beagle dogs. The tissue distribution showed that 2,5-BHPA could quickly distribute into the heart, intestines, liver, stomach, spleen, lungs, testicles, urine, intestine, kidneys, brain, and feces. The concentration of 2,5-BHPA was higher in the liver and bile. Interestingly, 2,5-BHPA was detected in the brain. Taken together, the above results suggested that our work might be beneficial in the development of agents for thrombolytic treatment.

A simple, rapid, and selective ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (MS)/MS method was established to investigate tissue distribution of 6 polyphenolic compounds of Polygonum orientale L. extract in normal and myocardial ischemia (MI) model rat tissues, including isoorientin, orientin, vitexin, quercitrin, astragalin, and protocatechuic acid. An Agilent Eclipse Plus C18 column was used. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile and water, both with 0.1% formic acid. Quantification was performed in negative ion multiple reaction monitoring mode. All the analysts had good linearity with r ≥ 0.9912. Accuracy ranged from 12.49% to −13.98% for the 6 compounds; within-day variation (precision) was ≤9.98% and interday precision was ≤11.88%. Extraction recovery of the analysts ranged from 80.55% to 99.92%; the matrix was 81.00%–98.73%. The analyst preparations were stable throughout. The 6 compounds were rapidly distributed in various tissues after oral administration, without accumulation over 12 hours. Compared with normal rats, distributions of 6 compounds in the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, brain, stomach, and intestine in MI model rats were different from those in the normal group. The study provides an insight for further research of P. orientale L.

A reliable and rapid method has been developed for the determination of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in four kinds of feedstuffs comprising broken rice, peanuts, corn, and fishmeal. A sample preparation was carried out based on the QuEChERS method with the exclusion of the clean-up step. In this study, AFB1 was extracted using acetonitrile/methanol (40/60 v/v), followed by partitioning with sodium chloride and magnesium sulfate. High-performance liquid chromatography with precolumn derivatization and fluorescence detection was performed. The coefficients of determination were greater than 0.9800. Throughout the developed method, the recovery of all feedstuffs achieved a range of 82.50-109.85% with relative standard deviation lower than 11% for all analytes at a concentration of 20-100 ng/g. The limit of detection (LOD) ranged from 0.2 to 1.2 ng/g and limit of quantitation (LOQ) ranged from 0.3 to 1.5 ng/g. The validated method was successfully applied to a total of 120 samples. The occurrence of AFB1 contamination was found at the following concentrations: in broken rice (0.44-2.33ng/g), peanut (3.97-106.26ng/g), corn (0.88-50.29 ng/g), and fishmeal (1.06-10.35 ng/g). These results indicate that the proposed method may be useful for regularly monitoring AFB1 contamination in feedstuffs.
