ABSTRACT
Aim To investigate the pharmacokinetic effect of aspirin on caffeic acid in dengzhanxixin injec-tion( DI) . Methods Concentration of caffeic acid in rat plasma was detected by LC-MS/MS after rats were given intravenous administration of DI or DI combined with aspirin by gavage. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS 1. 0 pharmacokinetic software. Results In vivo pharmacokinetic models of caffeic acid were two-compartment open models in both the caffeic acid group and the caffeic acid combined with aspirin group. After compatibility, caffeic acid showed a significant increase in T 12β, with a slight decrease in CL. Conclusions Aspirin can reduce metabolic process of caffeic acid in vivo.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To develop a HPLC method for the determination of the concentration of caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid and 1, 3-dicaffeoylquinic acid in rat urine and to observe the excretion of three compounds in rats. METHODS: Rat urine samples, collected at different intervals after vein injection of Dengzhanxixin injection traditional Chinese medicines, added with protocatechuic aldehyde as internal standard, handled by ethyl acetate, then were measured by HPLC. RESULTS: The recoveries of caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid and 1, 3-dicaffeoylquinic acid were about 95%-98%, 90%-95%, 95%-97%, respectively. The cumulative excretions of caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid and 1, 3-dicaffeoylquinic acid in urine within 60 h were (70.97 ± 7.31)%, (87.62 ± 12.23)% and (9.87 ± 2.63)%. Relative standard deviation(RSD) of intra- and inter-day assay was less than 10%. CONCLUSION: The established method is simple, accurate and specific. It can be successfully used for the analysis of three compounds in rat urine.
