Résumé
To study the chemical constituents of Cirsium setosum (Willd.) MB., 70% ethanol extract of the aerial parts was subjected to column chromatography. One new phenylpropanoid glycoside, sinapyl alcohol 9-O-(E)-p-coumaroyl-4-O-beta-D-glucopyanoside (1) was isolated, along with three known compounds: lycoperodine-1 (2), apigenin-7-O-(6"-(E)-p-coumaroyl)-beta-D-galactopyranoside (3) and quercetin (4). The structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral and chemical evidence. Compound 2 was obtained from Cirsium genus for the first time, compounds 3 and 4 were obtained from this plant for the first time.
Résumé
AIM: To study the pharmacokinetics of flavonoids in mice after ig administration of Xiexin Decoction (Radix et Rhizoma rhei, Rhizoma coptidis, Radix Scutellariae). METHODS: Mice were given a single ig dose of Xiexin Decoction 4.5, 9.0 or 18.0 g/kg. Flavonoids in plasma were analysed by HPLC and plasma concentration of baibalin was determined. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated from the plasma concentration-time data with the DAS software package. RESULTS: After ig administration of Xiexin Decoction in mice, baicalin, baicalein and another flavonoid were detected in plasma and baicalin concentration was the highest of the three kinds of flavonoids in plasma. After a single ig dose of Xiexin Decoction 4.5, 9.0 or 18.0 g/kg, the pharmacokinetic parameters of baicalin were as follows:T_ 1/2 =2.77、5.69、6.20 h,AUC_ 0-∞ =9.09、23.49、39.57 ?g?h/mL,CL= 12.52 、 6.962 、 11.50 L?h/kg,V_d= 50.11 、 79.56 、 102.95 L/kg,C_ max1 =1.89、3.32、4.79 ?g/mL(T_ p1 = 0.08 h ), C_ max2 =1.46、2.57、4.16 ?g/mL(T_ p2 =3 h), respectively. CONCLUSION: Three kinds of flavonoids can be absorbed after ig administration of Xiexin Decoction in mice, of which baicalin is the major component.
