Biomed Chromatogr 2023; 37:e5508. [PMID: 36097670 DOI: 10.1002/bmc.5508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2022] [Revised: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 09/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of the Corydalis yanhusuo total alkaloids transdermal patch (CTTP) following Shenque acupoint application in rats. The concentrations of corydaline, tetrahydropalmatine, tetrahydrocolumbamine, protopine, and dehydrocorydaline in rat plasma and various tissues were simultaneously detected by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry after Shenque acupoint administration of CTTP. Plasma, heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney tissue samples were collected at specific times and separated by gradient elution on an ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3 column (1.8 μm, 100 mm × 2.1 mm) with a mobile phase of 0.01% formic acid aqueous solution and acetonitrile-0.01% formic acid. The methodological results showed that the selectivity, linear range, accuracy, precision, stability, matrix effect, and extraction recovery of the established method met the requirements of biological sample analysis. The results indicated that CTTP following Shenque acupoint administration rapidly delivered adequate drug into rat blood and maintained an effective plasma level for a significantly longer time than non-acupoint administration. Furthermore, CTTP effectively reached the liver through Shenque acupoint administration and showed tissue selectivity. The data obtained could provide a prospect for the treatment of chronic pain with CTTP following Shenque acupoint application.

An integrated strategy for the establishment of a protoberberine alkaloid profile: Exploration of the differences in composition between Tinosporae radix and Fibraurea caulis. PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS : PCA 2021; 32:1131-1140.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Accurate species and content identification of major active components in herbals are the guarantee of the safety and effectiveness for medical and commodity purposes. OBJECTIVES In this study, an integrated strategy used to establish the protoberberine alkaloid profile was applied to explore the differences in composition between the pieces of Tinosporae radix and Fibraurea caulis, both of which had morphological similarities. MATERIALS AND METHODS First, an in-house library including possible protoberberine alkaloids based on different substituents was predicted by systematic literature survey. Meanwhile, diagnostic fragments of protoberberine alkaloids were investigated using the corresponding standards. Second, ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS) was used to obtain multidimensional mass spectral data. Then, the identifications were confirmed by targeted filter of the acquired data based on the library. RESULTS As a result, 10 protoberberine alkaloid molecules including 46 isomers were identified or characterised. The qualitative distribution and relative content of protoberberine alkaloids revealed the fundamental difference between Tinosporae radix and Fibraurea caulis. 25 alkaloids were present in both herbals, while five compounds were detected only in Tinosporae radix. Furthermore, the contents of four alkaloids in Tinosporae radix were significantly higher than those in its adulterant, Fibraurea caulis. CONCLUSION The five unique ingredients in Tinosporae radix can be used as a better indicator for distinguishing the pieces of Tinosporae radix and Fibraurea caulis. The protoberberine alkaloid profile established in this study can be applied to quality evaluation of the two herbals or other herbals containing major protoberberine alkaloids.

[PMID: 33765511 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2021.114014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2020] [Revised: 02/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/04/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Jinlingzi San (JLZS), composed of Fructus Toosendan (FT) and Rhizoma Corydalis (RC), is a classical traditional Chinese medicine prescription for regulating Qi to relieve pain. The present study investigated the pharmacokinetic compatibility of FT and RC in JLZS. A fast, selective and sensitive UPLC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of one limonoid (toosendanin), four tertiary alkaloids (corydaline, tetrahydropalmatine, tetrahydrocoptisine, tetrahydroberberine) and two quaternary alkaloids (palmatine, dehydrocorydaline) in rat plasma was established and fully validated. The plasma samples were pretreated by a fast protein precipitation and chromatographed using a 1.7-μm C18 column and 0.1 % formic acid-water and acetonitrile via gradient elution with a run time of 3.7 min. Multiple reaction monitoring mode with positive electrospray ionization was adopted to detect the analytes and internal standard (diphenhydramine). The lower limits of quantification were 0.08-3.09 ng/mL using only 50 μL of plasma sample. Using the proposed method, the pharmacokinetic differences of seven bioactive components in rats after administration of JLZS and the single herb (FT or RC) were investigated. The results showed that the elimination of toosendanin and alkaloids decreased significantly in the JLZS group (p < 0.05) compared with the single herb group, and the exposure of the alkaloids increased in some degree. The study demonstrated the synergistic effect of combining FT with RC on the pharmacokinetics of seven bioactive components and provided new information for a better understanding of the compatibility mechanism of JLZS.

Objective This study aimed to develop and validate a high-performance liquid
chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method to simultaneously determine
three bioactive components of the Huangqi Chifeng decoction (HQCF) in rat
plasma. Methods Taxol was used as an internal standard in the developed method.
Chromatographic separation was performed on a C18 column using a
gradient elution with 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile (v/v) and 0.1% formic
acid in water (v/v) as the mobile phases at a flow rate of
0.4 mL·minute−1. All compounds were monitored via selected
reaction monitoring with an electrospray ionization source. Results The lower limits of quantification of paeoniflorin, calycosin, and
prim-O-glucosylcimifugin were 15.0, 0.75, and
0.75 ng·mL−1, respectively. The calibration curves indicated
optimal linearity (r > 0.99) across the concentration
ranges. The specificity, precision, accuracy, recovery, matrix effect, and
stability of the method were validated. This method was successfully applied
in a pharmacokinetics study of the three compounds in rat plasma. Conclusion The pharmacokinetics results provide insights into the mechanisms of HQCF
in vivo and its future clinical application.

Abstract
Background:
Tong-Bi-Si-Wei-Fang (TBSWF) is a candidate formula of Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM) for treating rheumatoid bone diseases, which is composed of rhizoma corydalis alkaloids,
saponins of glycyrrhiza uralensis and panax notoginseng, flavonoids of rhizoma drynariae and
glycyrrhiza uralensis.
</P><P>
Objective: Trahydropalmatine (THP), the main active ingredient of rhizoma corydalis alkaloids, was
selected to study in vivo pharmacokinetics and druggability of TBSWF.
Methods:
The plasma concentration-time (C-T) profiles of THP and the pharmacokinetic property parameters
after oral administration of THP monomer, extract of corydalis alkaloids (ECA) and TBSWF
to rats, respectively were compared by a fully-validated HPLC method.
Results:
Compared to the THP monomer, the THP in TBSWF is absorbed faster, resides in the plasma
longer and has a similar apparent volume of distribution Vz/F (10~20 L/kg). Compared to THP monomer
and THP in TBSWF, the area under the concentration-time curve AUC 0-t of THP in ECA decreases
two-third; Vz/F of THP in ECA (85.02 L/kg) is significantly higher than that of THP in
TBSWF(p <0.05). Unlike THP monomer and THP in ECA, double peaks are observed in the C-T profile
of THP after oral administration of TBSWF. THP in TBSWF exhibits slow release to a certain degree.
Conclusion:
The interactions among the ingredients of TBSWF promote the adsorption and prolong the
residence time of THP in vivo, and provide an explanation for the advantages of TBSWF from the point
of pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
Herbal medicines have been used to prevent and cure diseases in eastern countries for thousands of years. In recent decades, these phytotherapies are becoming more and more popular in the West. As being nature-derived is the essential attribute of herbal medicines, people believe that taking them for diseases treatment is safe enough and has no side-effects. However, the efficacy of herbal resourced compounds (HRC) depends on the multiple constituents absorbed in the body and their pharmacokinetics. Thus, many factors will influence the clinical practice of HRC, i.e., their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). Among these factors, herb-drug interaction has been widely discussed, as these compounds may share the same drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters. Meanwhile there are many other potential factors that can also change the ADME of HRC, including herb pretreatment, herb-herb interactions, pathological status, gender, age of patient, and chemical and physical modification of certain ingredients. With the aim of ensuring the efficacy of HRC and minimizing their clinical risks, this review provides and discusses the influence factors and artificial improvement of the pharmacokinetics of HRC.

Abstract
Paeoniae Radix Alba (baishao or white peony root) and Paeoniae Radix Rubra (chishao or red peony root) are two highly valuable traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) usually indicated for painful conditions, menstrual disorders and viral infections. These two TCMs are collectively referred to as shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix) due to their close origins and similar chemical compositions. Modern research indicates that monoterpene glycosides, polyphenols and paeonols are the three main types of compounds related to the pharmacological activities of Paeoniae Radix. This review summarizes recent advances in the chemical analysis of Paeoniae Radix and the related traditional Chinese medicine formulas/preparations, including methods used for sample pretreatment, qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis and biological sample analysis. More than 120 papers are discussed in this review, focusing on the chemical analysis of Paeoniae Radix, and various analytical techniques (such as HPLC, LC-MS, IR, near IR and quantitative NMR), as well as their advantages/disadvantages, are described. It is our hope that this paper can provide necessary information for improving the quality evaluation methods currently available for Paeoniae Radix and offer a scientific basis for the future in-depth study of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Paeoniae Radix.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop an ultra-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method to determine armepavine in mouse blood. Nuciferine was used as internal standard. Chromatographic separation was performed on a UPLC BEH (2.1 × 50 mm, 1.7 μm) column with a gradient elution of acetonitrile and 10 mmol/L ammonium acetate solution (containing 0.1% formic acid). The quantitative analysis was conducted in multiple reaction monitoring mode with m/z 314.1 → 106.9 for armepavine and m/z 296.2 → 265.1 for nuciferine. Calibration curves were linear (r > 0.995) over the concentration range 1-1000 ng/mL in mouse blood with a lowest limit of quantitation of 1 ng/mL. The intra- and inter-day precisions of armepavine in mouse were < 13.5 and 10.8%, respectively. The accuracy ranged between 86.8 and 103.3%. Meanwhile, the average recovery was >70.7% and the matrix effect was within the range 109.5-113.7%. All of the obtained data confirmed the satisfactory sensitivity and selectivity of the developed method which was then successfully applied to evaluate the pharmacokinetic behavior of armepavine in mouse for the first time. The bioavailability of armepavine in mouse was calculated to be 11.3%.

Abstract
In this study, a high performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization/Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-FT-ICR MS and HPLC-ESI-QTOF MS2) based on chemical profiling method was established to study the metabolites of paeoniflorin in human intestinal microflora (HIM). By virtue of the high resolution, high speed of HPLC and the accurate mass measurement of FT-ICR MS and QTOF MS2, 31 metabolites in methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) layer were detected, and the structures of 16 metabolites were identified. Among them, 13 metabolites (including two new compounds) were found for the first time in HIM transformation in vitro. The results indicated that metabolic pathways of paeoniflorin in HIM contained extensive metabolic reactions. The hydrolysis, oxidization and conjugation were major metabolic pathways, and the glycosidic linkage, ester bond, benzene ring and pinane of the structure were metabolic sites. These results would contribute to better understanding the metabolic mechanism of paeoniflorin, thereby to in-depth study and development of paeoniflorin in medicine.

Abstract
The tuber of Corydalis yanhusuo is a famous traditional Chinese medicine and found to have potent pharmacological effects, such as antinociceptive, antitumor, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-depressive activities. Although there are several methods to be developed for the analysis and detection of the bioactive ingredients’ alkaloids, so far, only few prominent alkaloids could be quantified, and in vitro and in vivo changes of comprehensive alkaloids after oral administration are still little known. In this study, we first developed a simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) method to quantify the comprehensive alkaloids of extracts of C. yanhusuo in mouse plasma, using nitidine chloride as an internal standard. As results, at least fourteen alkaloids, including an aporphine (oxoglaucine), a protopine (protopine), five tertiary alkaloids (corydaline, tetrahydroberberine, tetrahydropalmatine, tetrahydrocolumbamine, and tetrahydrocoptisine) and seven quaternary alkaloids (columbamine, palmatine, berberine, epiberberine, coptisine, jatrorrhizine, and dehydrocorydaline) could be well quantified simultaneously in mouse plasma. The lower limits of quantification were greater than, or equal to, 0.67 ng/mL, and the average matrix effects ranged from 96.4% to 114.3%. The mean extraction recoveries of quality control samples were over 71.40%, and the precision and accuracy were within the acceptable limits. All the analytes were shown to be stable under different storage conditions. Then the established method was successfully applied to investigate the pharmacokinetics of these alkaloids after oral administration of the extract of Corydalis yanhusuo in mice. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first document to report the comprehensive and simultaneous analyses of alkaloids of C. yanhusuo in mouse plasma. It was efficient and useful for comprehensive pharmacokinetic and metabolomic analyses of these complex alkaloids after drug administration.

[PMID: 28899423 PMCID: PMC5596839 DOI: 10.1186/s12906-017-1966-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2017] [Accepted: 09/01/2017] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Background Alkaloids have been considered as the most promising bioactive ingredients in plant species from the genus Zanthoxylum. This study reports on the compositions and contents of the Zanthoxylum alkaloids (ZAs) from three Zanthoxylum species, and their potential anti-proliferation activities. Methods An HPLC-UV/ESI-MS/MS method was established and employed to analyze the alkaloids in different Zanthoxylum extracts. The common and unique peaks and their relative contents were summarized and compared to evaluate the similarity and dissimilarity of the three Zanthoxylum species. Meanwhile, inhibitory activity tests to four carcinoma cell lines, i.e., stomach tumor cells (SGC-7901), cervical tumor cells (Hela), colon tumor cells (HT-29) and Hepatic tumor cells (Hep G2), were carried out in vitro to evaluate the bioactivities of the ZAs. Results Seventy peaks were detected in the crude total alkaloid samples, and 58 of them were identified. As a result, 13 common peaks were found in the extracts of all the three Zanthoxylum species, while some unique peaks were also observed in specific species, with 17 peaks in Z. simulans, 15 peaks in Z. ailanthoides and 11 peaks in Z. chalybeum, respectively. The comparison of the composition and relative contents indicated that alkaloids of benzophenanthridine type commonly present in all the three Zanthoxylum species with high relative contents among the others, which are 60.52% in Z. ailanthoides, 30.52% in Z. simulans and 13.84% in Z. chalybeum, respectively. In terms of activity test, Most of the crude alkaloids extracts showed remarkable inhibitory activities against various tumor cells, and the inhibitory rates ranged from 60.71 to 93.63% at a concentration of 200 μg/mL. However, SGC-7901 cells seemed to be more sensitive to the ZAs than the other three cancer cells. Conclusion The alkaloid profiles detected in this work revealed significant differences in both structures and contents among Zanthoxylum species. The inhibitory rates for different cancer cells in this study indicated that the potential anti-cancer activity should be attributed to quaternary alkaloids in these three species, which will provide great guidance for further exploring this traditional medicinal resource as new healthcare products.

Benzylic rearrangement stable isotope labeling for quantitation of guanidino and ureido compounds in thyroid tissues by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Anal Chim Acta 2016; 908:132-40.

Abstract
Benzylic rearrangement stable isotope labeling (BRSIL) was explored to quantify the guanidino and ureido compounds (GCs and UCs). This method employed a common reagent, benzil, to label the guanidino and ureido groups through nucleophilic attacking then benzylic migrating. The use of BRSIL was investigated in the analysis of five GCs (creatine, l-arginine, homoarginine, 4-guanidinobutyric acid, and methylguanidine) and two UCs (urea and citrulline). The labeling was found simple and specific. The introduction of bi-phenyl group and the generation of nitrogen heterocyclic ring in the benzil-d0/d5 labeled GCs and UCs improved the retention behaviors in liquid chromatography (LC) and increased the sensitivity of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI MS) detection. The fragment ion pairs of m/z 182/187 and m/z 210/215 from the benzil-d0/d5 tags facilitated the discovery of potential GCs and UCs candidates residing in biological matrices. The use of BRSIL combined with LC-ESI MS was applied for simultaneously quantitation of GCs and UCs in thyroid tissues. It was demonstrated that nine GCs and UCs were detected, six of which were further quantified based on corresponding standards. It was concluded that five GCs and UCs (l-arginine, homoarginine, 4-guanidinobutyric acid, methylguanidine, and citrulline) were statistically significantly different (p < 0.05) between the para-carcinoma and carcinoma thyroid tissue samples.
