Pharmacokinetic behaviors of four constituents in Huanglian Xiangru Decoction in rat plasma / 中成药

AIM To investigate the pharmacokinetic behaviors of four constituents in Huanglian Xiangru Decoction in rat plasma.METHODS The rats intragastrically administered with diluted drug (9 g/kg) had their blood collected for the determination of plasma concentration by HPLC,after which pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by 3p97 software.RESULTS The plasma concentration-time curves for berberine hydrochloride,apigenin,honokiol,magnolol accorded with open one compartment model,with the Tpeak values of (1.436 5 ± 0.311 9),(2.049 5 ±0.705 5),(1.359 0 ±0.343 4),(1.195 9 ±0.334 6) h,AUC values of (1.477 8 ± 0.4840),(1.063 0±0.452 1),(0.863 5±0.2697),(7.0105 ±2.584 7) μg/(mL· h),Cmax values of (0.245 9 ±0.019 4),(0.129 6 ±0.016 7),(0.180 9 ±0.021 3),(0.966 7 ±0.042 0) μg/mL,respectively.CONCLUSION Compared with the other three constituents in Huanglian Xiangru Decoction,magnolol demonstrates better in vivo absorption and higher bioavailability.

Total quantity statistical moment analysis on pharmacokinetics of rhein and chrysophanol after oral administration of Quyu Qingre granules in normal and acute blood stasis rabbits / 中国中药杂志

This study aim to reveal the total pharmacokinetics of rhein and chrysophanol after oral administration of Quyu Qingre granules (QUQRG) in normal and acute blood stasis rabbits, to identify the pharmacokinetics differences between two groups of rabbits and to evaluate the applicability of the total statistical moment analysis. Based on the concentrations of rhein and chrysophanol in plasma determined by an established HPLC method, and the calculation of main total pharmacokinetic parameters, this study found that total pharmacokinetic parameters VRT, value of blood stasis group is lager than that of normal group and the difference is significant Compared with normal group, total pharmacokinetic parameters AUC,, MRT,, t1/2t, and Vt value of blood stasis group is lager, while the k, and CL, value is smaller. The findings indicated that the absorbed and released time of rhein and chrysophanol was accelerated and the total absorptive amount of these two compounds was increased in rabbits with acute blood stasis, compared with the normal rabbits. Total quantity statistical moment analysis can combine the pharmacokinetics of rhein and chrysophanol and express the pharmacokinetic behavior of these two compounds in QUQRG. The parameters in this paper can provide reference frames for the follow-up development of QUQRG.
