RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study relatively pharmacological activities of cinnamon acid in blood serum of rabbit administered cinnamon acid, cinnamon and Jingui Shenqi pills.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>RP-HPLC determine and analysis blood serum sample from rabbits administered cinnamon acid, cinnamon and Jingui Shenqi pills. Condition of colour spectrum was Symmetry C18 (3.9 mm x 150 mm, 5 microm) chromato bar, mobile phase was methanol-1% glacial acetic acid water-solution (45:55), flow rate was 0.8 mL x min(-1), temperature of bar was 35 degrees C, detection wave length was 285 nm. The serum pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated with 3p87.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Linear range of cinnamon acid is from 0.06-15 microg x mL(-1) (r = 0.9997), the lowest detectability is 0.054 microg x mL(-1). Pharmacokinetic process of cinnamon acid in rabbit could be all fitted to two-compartment model.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Sensitive and exclusive HPLC that adopt can exactly detect serum concentration in rabbits administerd cinnamon acid. Pharmacokinetic parameters of three conditions can reveal pharmacokinetics regularity of cinnamon acid in rabbit.</p>
