Determination of Triptolide and Triptonide in plasma by HPLC / 中国法医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a method for quantitative determination of triptolide and triptonide in human plasma samples by HPLC.Methods The samples were extracted with Oasis HLB solid phase extraction cartridge and analyzed with reserved phase HPLC coupled with diode array detection.Results Recoveries rates obtained from spiked plasma for the two diterpenoid were higher than 80%.The linearity ranged from 10 ng/ml to 1 000 ng/ml.Detection limits of the method were 3.0ng/ml for triptolide and 4.5ng/ml for triptonide.Conclusion The method is fast and accurate,which is applicable to determination of diterpenoid in cases of suspected poisoning of Triptergium wilfordii Hook.f. in forensic practice.
