Determination of Pharmacokinetic Parameters of P-methoxybenzyl Alcohol from Gastrodiae Rhizoma in Plasma of Rats by HPLC / 中国中医药信息杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of P-methoxybenzyl alcohol from Gastrodiae Rhizoma in plasma of rats by HPLC. Methods Gavage and intravenous injection were employed for administration. HPLC was used to determine the concentrations of P-methoxybenzyl alcohol from Gastrodiae Rhizoma in plasma of rats in different time points. The pharmacokinetic parameters were computed by DAS3.0. Results The linear range of P-methoxybenzyl alcohol in plasma was 0.63-321.17 μg/mL, r 2=0.994 5. Intra-day accuracy, inter-day accuracy, absolute recovery and stability were in specified range. Conclusion The method is simple and accurate for the determination of the pharmacokinetic parameters of P-methoxybenzyl alcohol from Gastrodiae Rhizoma in plasma of rats.
