Kuntze) extract in human plasma using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2024; 1232:123957. [PMID: 38134516 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2023.123957] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
Agastache rugosa contains phenolic compounds and flavonoids, and has been extensively used as a traditional herbal medicine. The major components in Agastache rugosa extract (ARE) are rosmarinic acid, tilianin, and acacetin, for which several analytical techniques have been reported. However, these substances have yet to be simultaneously quantified in human plasma. In this study, we aimed to simultaneously determine the three active components of ARE in human plasma by developing a reliable quantitative analytical method using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). Chromatographic separation of the plasma samples was achieved using an ACQUITY UPLC® BEH C18 column with a gradient mobile phase of water and acetonitrile containing 0.1 % formic acid. Mass spectrometric detection was performed using a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer in negative electrospray ionization (ESI-) and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) modes. The developed quantitative method was validated for the three active components. All three analytes exhibited a linear response over the ranges of 0.5-50 ng/mL for rosmarinic acid, 0.1-20 ng/mL for acacetin, and 0.5-20 ng/mL for tilianin with a weighting factor of 1/x (where x is the concentration). At three quality control (QC) concentration levels (low, medium, and high), including the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ), acceptable accuracy (±15 %) was achieved in the intra- and interday validations. The concentration of rosmarinic acid was highest in plasma. Tilianin and acacetin appeared and were eliminated earlier in the plasma than rosmarinic acid. This study provides a successfully validated method that can be used in further clinical applications of Agastache rugosa extracts.

Abstract
One-pot means was performed for the rapid preparation of copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs), which were employed as a fluorescence system for the sensitive apigenin measurement in pharmaceutical samples. Herein, CuCl2 aqueous solution was reduced to Cu NCs through ascorbic acid and the Cu NCs were protected through trypsin under 65 ℃ for 4 h. The entire preparation process was rapid, facile and environmentally friendly. The trypsin-capped Cu NCs were demonstrated through ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and fluorescence lifetime, respectively. The Cu NCs revealed blue fluorescence with emission wavelength around 465 nm under the excitation wavelength of 380 nm. The fluorescence weakening feature of Cu NCs with apigenin was observed. On this basis, a facile and sensitive turn-off fluorescent nanoprobe for the sensing of apigenin in real samples was developed. The logarithm of relative fluorescence intensity revealed a good linear relationship with apigenin contents from 0.5 μM to 300 μM with the detection limit of 0.079 μM. The Cu NCs-based fluorescent nanosensor have been employed to measure the apigenin amounts in real samples such as medical saline, bovine and human serum. The results revealed excellent potential of this Cu NCs-based fluorescent nanoprobe for the convention computation of apigenin amounts in real samples.

Abstract
Asparagopsis taxiformis is a significant source of phenolics. Owing to the incessant demand of green extraction procedures for phenolics from A. taxiformis, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) using deep eutectic solvents (DESs) was optimized. Among the tested DESs, betaine-levulinic acid afforded the highest total phenolic content (TPC). Moreover, the optimal extraction conditions elucidated from single-factor and response surface methodologies comprised a 52.41°C ultrasonic temperature, 46.48% water content of DES, and 26.99 ml/g liquid-to-solid ratio. The corresponding TPC (56.27 mg GAE/100 g DW) and antioxidant ability fitted the predicted values. UAE afforded superior TPC and antioxidant abilities with DESs than with traditional solvents. Using UHPLC-MS, seven phenolic acids, 18 flavonoids, and two bromophenols were identified and quantified. DES-UAE afforded the highest phenolic compound number (26) and sum of contents. These results disclose the high extraction efficiency of DES-UAE for A. taxiformis phenolics and provide a basis for the higher-value application of this species.

Abstract
Ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) coupled with deep eutectic solvent (DES) is a novel, efficient and green extraction method for phytochemicals. In this study, the effects of 16 DESs coupled with UAE on the extraction rate of polyphenols from Paederia scandens (Lour.) Merr. (P. scandens), an edible and medicinal herb, were investigated. DES synthesised with choline chloride and ethylene glycol at a 1:2 M ratio resulted in the highest extractability. Moreover, the effects of extraction parameters were investigated by using a two-level factorial experiment followed by response surface methodology The optimal parameters (water content in DES of 49.2%, the actual ultrasonic power of 72.4 W, and ultrasonic time of 9.7 min) resulted in the optimal total flavonoid content (TFC) (27.04 mg CE/g DW), ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) value (373.27 μmol Fe(Ⅱ)E/g DW) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline)-6-sulfonic acid radical (ABTS+) value (48.64 μmol TE/g DW), closely matching the experimental results. Furthermore, a comparison study demonstrated that DES-UAE afforded the higher TFC and FRAP value than traditional extraction methods. 36 individual polyphenolic compounds were identified and quantified by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) in P. scandens extracts, and of which 30 were found in the extracts obtained by DES-UAE. Additionally, DES-UAE afforded the highest sum of individual polyphenolic compound content. These results revealed that DES-UAE enhanced the extraction efficiency for polyphenols and provided a scientific basis for further processing and utilization of P. scandens.

Effects of different extraction methods on contents, profiles, and antioxidant abilities of free and bound phenolics of Sargassum polycystum from the South China Sea. J Food Sci 2022; 87:968-981. [PMID: 35142370 PMCID: PMC9304242 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.16051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2021] [Revised: 10/01/2021] [Accepted: 12/27/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Total phenolic content (TPC), phenolic profiles, and antioxidant activity of free and bound extracts of Sargassum polycystum, obtained by different extraction solvents and hydrolysis methods, were investigated. Aqueous acetone afforded the highest free TPC and antioxidant ability, followed by aqueous ethanol and aqueous methanol. Twelve free phenolic compounds were identified by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS), including two hydroxycinnamic acids, seven flavonoids, one stilbene, and two phlorotannins. Three to nine different free phenolic compounds were extracted by these solvents with different compositions, including nine by 70% acetone and eight by 70% methanol, 70% ethanol, and 50% ethanol. The highest total content of free phenolic compounds determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection was obtained from 70% ethanol. Alkaline hydrolysis afforded higher bound TPC (274.27 mg GAE/100 g DW) and antioxidant ability than acid hydrolysis. Five bound phenolic compounds were characterized by UHPLC-MS and five were released from alkaline hydrolysis, whereas two were released from acid hydrolysis. Total content of bound phenolic compounds released by alkaline hydrolysis was 14.68-fold higher than that by acid hydrolysis. The free and bound TPC, phenolic profiles, and antioxidant activities depended on the extraction solvent used. These results indicate that S. polycystum is a potentially useful antioxidant source and contribute to the development of seaweed-based functional foods. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Phenolics are usually divided into free and bound forms based on their extractability and interaction with cell wall components. The nutritional effects of bound phenolics in algae have long been neglected. These topics contribute to the development of seaweed-based functional foods.

Abstract
Artemisia judaica L. (Family: Asteraceae) exhibited antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic effects. The in vitro cytotoxic activity of A. judaica ethanolic extract was screened against a panel of cancer cell lines. The results revealed its cytotoxic activity against a lung cancer (A549) cell line with a promising IC50 of 14.2 μg/mL compared to doxorubicin as a standard. This was confirmed through the downregulation of antiapoptotic genes, the upregulation of proapoptotic genes, and the cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. Further in vivo study showed that a solid tumor mass was significantly reduced, with a tumor inhibition ratio of 54% relative to doxorubicin therapy in a Xenograft model. From a chemical point of view, various classes of natural products have been identified by liquid chromatography combined with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The docking study of the detected metabolites approved their cytotoxic activity through their virtual binding affinity towards the cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK-2) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) active sites. Finally, A. judaica is a fruitful source of polyphenols that are well-known for their antioxidant and cytotoxic activities. As such, the previously reported polyphenols with anti-lung cancer activity were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a diode array detector (HPLC-DAD). Rutin, quercetin, kaempferol, and apigenin were detected at concentrations of 6 mg/gm, 0.4 mg/gm, 0.36 mg/gm, and 3.9 mg/gm of plant dry extract, respectively. It is worth noting that kaempferol and rutin are reported for the first time. Herein, A. judaica L. may serve as an adjuvant therapy or a promising source of leading structures in drug discovery for lung cancer treatment.

Abstract
The hydroalcoholic extract (MIT) of Micromeria imbricata (Forssk.) growing in Saudi Arabia in addition to the chloroform (MIC) and n-butanol (MIB) fractions were investigated for the first time using UPLC-ESI-MS/MS. The analysis revealed the tentative identification of fifty-eight compounds including three organic acids, twenty-five phenolic compounds, three coumarins, two anthocyanins, twenty-one flavonoids, three terpenes, and one miscellaneous. Moreover, the therapeutic potential of M. imbricata (MIT) and its fractions (MIC and MIB) were determined by in vitro evaluation of their cytotoxic, antioxidant, and anti-obesity characteristics. The MIT extract showed the highest phenolic (125.23 ± 0.87 mg gallic acid equivalent/100 gm extract) and flavonoid (112.24 ± 2.45 mg quercetin equivalent/100 gm extract) contents followed by n-butanol and chloroform fractions. The MIT extract revealed a potent cytotoxic activity against HepG-2 (Hepatocellular carcinoma) and MCF-7 (Breast carcinoma) with IC50 28.5 ± 2.0 and 35.2 ± 1.2 µg/mL, respectively. Additionally, the tested hydroalcoholic extract exhibited a significant DPPH scavenging activity with SC50 28.4 ± 1.2 µg/mL and a remarkable lipase inhibitory activity with IC50 54.2 ± 1.2 µg/mL. In conclusion, the current study presents the first insights into the phytochemical constituents and pharmacological properties of M. imbricata extract and its chloroform and n-butanol fractions. The results revealed that M. imbricata hydroalcoholic extract might be a prolific source of bioactive constituents with potent antioxidant, cytotoxic and anti-obesity potential. It might be a natural alternative therapy and nutritional strategy for obesity treatment.

Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13060782. [PMID: 34071139 PMCID: PMC8224802 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13060782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2021] [Revised: 05/18/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Repaglinide (RPG), a rapid-acting meglitinide analog, is an oral hypoglycemic agent for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Quercetin (QCT) is a well-known antioxidant and antidiabetic flavonoid that has been used as an important ingredient in many functional foods and complementary medicines. This study aimed to comprehensively investigate the effects of QCT on the metabolism of RPG and its underlying mechanisms. The mean (range) IC50 of QCT on the microsomal metabolism of RPG was estimated to be 16.7 (13.0–18.6) μM in the rat liver microsome (RLM) and 3.0 (1.53–5.44) μM in the human liver microsome (HLM). The type of inhibition exhibited by QCT on RPG metabolism was determined to be a mixed inhibition with a Ki of 72.0 μM in RLM and 24.2 μM in HLM as obtained through relevant graphical and enzyme inhibition model-based analyses. Furthermore, the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of RPG administered intravenously and orally in rats were significantly increased by 1.83- and 1.88-fold, respectively, after concurrent administration with QCT. As the protein binding and blood distribution of RPG were observed to be unaltered by QCT, it is plausible that the hepatic first-pass and systemic metabolism of RPG could have been inhibited by QCT, resulting in the increased systemic exposure (AUC and Cmax) of RPG. These results suggest that there is a possibility that clinically significant pharmacokinetic interactions between QCT and RPG could occur, depending on the extent and duration of QCT intake from foods and dietary supplements.

Abstract
Enhancing selectivity, reducing matrix effects and increasing analytical throughput have been the main objectives in the development of biological sample preparation techniques. A thin film molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) is employed for extraction and analysis of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) as a model class of compounds in human plasma for the first time to reach the abovementioned goals. The thin film MIPs prepared on a metal substrate can be used directly for extraction from biological matrices with no sample manipulation steps and no pre-conditioning. This method was validated with good linearity (R2 > 0.99 in 1.0-500.0 ng mL-1 range), excellent accuracy (90% -110%) and precision (RSD % value less than 15%) in pooled human plasma samples (N = 3). The limits of quantitation (LOQ) for TCAs in plasma samples were between 1.0-5.0 ng mL-1 which are lower than the therapeutic ranges of these drugs. Kinetic and isotherm studies showed the superior performance of MIP sorbent compared to a non-imprinted polymer (NIP) sorbent in extracting TCAs from a bovine serum albumin (BSA) solution. The optimized and validated method for pooled human plasma was utilized for monitoring the concentration of TCAs in three patient samples who had been prescribed TCAs. These selective single-use thin film extraction devices are promising for efficient and fast procedures for analyzing biological samples.

Investigation of the Factors Responsible for the Poor Oral Bioavailability of Acacetin in Rats: Physicochemical and Biopharmaceutical Aspects. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13020175. [PMID: 33525442 PMCID: PMC7911516 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13020175] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2020] [Revised: 01/24/2021] [Accepted: 01/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Acacetin, an important ingredient of acacia honey and a component of several medicinal plants, exhibits therapeutic effects such as antioxidative, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-plasmodial activities. However, to date, studies reporting a systematic investigation of the in vivo fate of orally administered acacetin are limited. Moreover, the in vitro physicochemical and biopharmaceutical properties of acacetin in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and their pharmacokinetic impacts remain unclear. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to systematically investigate the oral absorption and disposition of acacetin using relevant rat models. Acacetin exhibited poor solubility (≤119 ng/mL) and relatively low stability (27.5–62.0% remaining after 24 h) in pH 7 phosphate buffer and simulated GI fluids. A major portion (97.1%) of the initially injected acacetin dose remained unabsorbed in the jejunal segments, and the oral bioavailability of acacetin was very low at 2.34%. The systemic metabolism of acacetin occurred ubiquitously in various tissues (particularly in the liver, where it occurred most extensively), resulting in very high total plasma clearance of 199 ± 36 mL/min/kg. Collectively, the poor oral bioavailability of acacetin could be attributed mainly to its poor solubility and low GI luminal stability.

Abstract
Alpelisib, a novel phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor, is an oral anticancer agent approved for the treatment of advanced or metastatic breast cancer. In this study, a sensitive bioanalytical method using high-performance liquid chromatography combined with a fluorescence detector (HPLC-FLD) was developed for the determination of alpelisib in rat plasma. This newly developed method was validated in terms of linearity (1-1,000 ng/mL), precision, accuracy, recovery, matrix effect, and stability according to the US Food and Drug Administration guideline and these parameters were within the acceptable limits. Alpelisib tended to be stable in plasma, urine, simulated intestinal fluid, and buffer with pH > 4.0 for 24 h, but in the pH 1.2 buffer and simulated gastric fluid for up to 4 h only. A study involving intravenous administration of alpelisib in rats showed that the dose-normalized area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of alpelisib changed significantly as the dose increased from 1 to 10 mg/kg. Similarly, an oral rat study indicated that the dose-normalized AUC and the fraction of dose that remained in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract changed significantly as the dose increased from 0.5 to 10 mg/kg. These nonlinear (dose-dependent) pharmacokinetics of intravenous and oral alpelisib could be attributed to the saturation of ubiquitous metabolism among most tissues and/or GI absorption processes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the in vivo nonlinear pharmacokinetics of alpelisib and its possible mechanisms, together with a new HPLC-FLD method to determine alpelisib in biological matrices.

[PMID: 32866514 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2020.111708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 75] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2020] [Revised: 08/11/2020] [Accepted: 08/22/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acacetin is a di-hydroxy and mono-methoxy flavone present in various plants, including black locust, Damiana, Silver birch. Literature information revealed that acacetin exhibits an array of pharmacological potential including chemopreventive and cytotoxic properties in cancer cell lines, prevents ischemia/reperfusion/myocardial infarction-induced cardiac injury, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), 1-methyl-4-phenyl pyridinium ion (MPP+) and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine hydrochloride (MPTP)-induced neuroinflammation, LPS and sepsis-induced lung injury, rheumatoid and collagen-induced arthritis, inhibit the microbial growth, obesity, viral-mediated infections as well as hepatic protection. PURPOSE This review highlights the therapeutic potential of acacetin, with updated and comprehensive information on the biological sources, chemistry, and pharmacological properties along with the possible mechanism of action, safety aspects, and future research opportunities. STUDY DESIGN The information was retrieved from various search engines, including Pubmed, SciFinder, Science direct, Inxight:drugs, Google scholar, and Meta cyc. RESULT The first section of this review focuses on the detailed biological source of acacetin, chromatographic techniques used for isolation, chemical characteristics, the method for the synthesis of acacetin, and the available natural and synthetic derivatives. Subsequently, the pharmacological activities, including anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-obesity, have been discussed. The pharmacokinetics data and toxicity profile of acacetin are also discussed. CONCLUSION Acacetin is a potent molecule reported for its strong anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activity, however further scientific evidence is essential to validate its potency in disease models associated with inflammation and cancer. There is limited information available for toxicity profiling of acacetin; therefore, further studies would aid in establishing this natural flavone as a potent candidate for research studies at clinical setup.

Abstract
Background: Renal ischemia-reperfusion disturbs both the function and the histology of this organ. Acacetin (Aca) is a natural flavonoid that is effective for relief of many diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the impacts of Aca on renal ischemia-reperfusion process in mice. Methods: In total, 84 male Balb/cmice divided into 12 groups and were administrated intraperitoneally for 4 days with or without surgery to dimethyl sulfoxide 0.01% or Aca (10, 25, and 50 mg/kg) as Control, control Acas, sham, sham Acas groups. Ischemia-reperfusion without or with Aca (10, 25, and 50 mg/kg) treatments were the other groups. Parameters related to the function and the histology of the kidneys were evaluated and statistically analyzed from kidney and blood serum samples in the respect of the groups. Results: In ischemia-reperfusion and ischemia-reperfusion + Aca (10 mg/kg) groups, there were significantly increased in urea, creatinine, malondialdehyde (MDA), and apoptosis rate, whereas total antioxidant capacity decreased compared to the control and sham and ischemia-reperfusion + Aca (25 and 50 mg/kg) (P < 0.05). The histopathology alteration was seen in the ischemia-reperfusion group than the others (P < 0.01). Moreover, there was a significant difference between ischemia-reperfusion + Aca (25 and50 mg/kg) groups than ischemia-reperfusion + Aca (10 mg/kg) one (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The recovery effect of Aca was offered on renal ischemia-reperfusion damage in a dose-dependent manner in mice, showing by kidney histopathology and functional criteria improvements. The attributed mechanism for this impression would be the antioxidant property of Aca, decreasing both MDA levels and apoptosis rate in kidney tissue.

Abstract
Dutasteride (DUT) is a selective, potent, competitive, and irreversible inhibitor of both type-1 and type-2 5α-reductase (5AR) commonly used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenetic alopecia. In the present study, we developed a simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FL) method for simultaneous determination of DUT and its major active metabolite, 6β-hydroxydutasteride (H-DUT). Next, the pharmacokinetic interactions of DUT with ketoconazole (KET), a potent CYP3A inhibitor, were comprehensively investigated. In vivo rat intravenous and oral studies revealed that the pharmacokinetics of DUT and H-DUT were significantly altered by the co-administration of KET. Furthermore, the in vitro microsomal metabolism, blood distribution, and protein-binding studies suggest that the altered pharmacokinetics of DUT could be attributed primarily to the inhibition of the DUT metabolism by KET. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to show the drug interaction potential of DUT with azole antifungal drugs including KET, together with a newly developed HPLC-FL method for the simultaneous quantification of DUT and H-DUT.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors present a unique approach for the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D). In the present study, the inhibition of DPP-4 was evaluated for a large panel of flavonoids, important components of the human diet, using in vitro and ex vivo models. The activity of the isolated enzyme was assayed in vitro. Subsequently, the most active flavonoids were tested ex vivo in human whole blood and plasma. In this study, contrary to the in vitro fluorometric tests, flavonoids did not show inhibitory activity against DPP-4. Due to the discrepancy in the results between the in vitro and ex vivo approaches, plasma protein binding values were determined, presenting values from 43.9 to 100.0%. This work provides a new insight into the inhibitory activity for DPP-4, based on the flavonoid scaffold. Additionally, the obtained results showed that the inhibitory effect of flavonoids against DPP-4 was hindered in protein rich environments, like that occurring in blood, and indicated the need for experimental refinement in drug discovery for blood targets.

Abstract
Since diabetes mellitus and osteoarthritis are highly prevalent diseases, combinations of antidiabetic agents like repaglinide (REP) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) like celecoxib (CEL) could be commonly used in clinical practice. In this study, a simple and sensitive bioanalytical HPLC method combined with fluorescence detector (HPLC-FL) was developed and fully validated for simultaneous quantification of REP and CEL. A simple protein precipitation procedure and reversed C18 column with an isocratic mobile phase (mixture of ACN and pH 6.0 phosphate buffer) were employed for sample preparation and chromatographic separation. The fluorescence detector was set at a single excitation/emission wavelength pair of 240 nm/380 nm. The linearity (10-2000 ng/mL), accuracy, precision, extraction recovery, matrix effect, and stability for this method were validated as per the current FDA guidance. The bioanalytical method was applied to study pharmacokinetic interactions between REP and CEL in vivo, successfully showing that concurrent administration with oral REP significantly altered the pharmacokinetics of oral CEL. Furthermore, an in vitro metabolism and protein binding study using human materials highlighted the possibility of metabolism-based interactions between CEL and REP in clinical settings.

Abstract
Acacetin, a dietary component, is abundant in acacia honey and has superior anticancer activities. To date, no research on the metabolism of acacetin has been reported. In the current research, an online detection strategy of ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography connected to a quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer (UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) was utilized for metabolite identification in vivo (rat plasma, bile, urine, and feces) and in vitro (rat liver microsomes). A total of 31 metabolites were structurally characterized in rats, and 25 metabolites were detected in rat liver microsomes, among which, 4 metabolites were compared with standards. Oxidation, the loss of CH2, reduction, hydrolysis, glucuronide conjugation, sulfate conjugation, methylation, and N-acetylation were the main metabolic pathways of acacetin. This study is the first to characterize acacetin metabolites in vivo and in vitro, and the results of this study offer novel and valuable evidence for a comprehensive understanding of the safety and efficacy of acacetin.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), as a unique form of natural medicine, has been used in Chinese traditional therapeutic systems over two thousand years. Active components in Chinese herbal medicine are the material basis for the prevention and treatment of diseases. Research on drug-protein binding is one of the important contents in the study of early stage clinical pharmacokinetics of drugs. Plasma protein binding study has far-reaching influence on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs and helps to understand the basic rule of drug effects. It is important to study the binding characteristics of the active components in Chinese herbal medicine with plasma proteins for the medical science and modernization of TCM. This review summarizes the common analytical methods which are used to study the active herbal components-protein binding and gives the examples to illustrate their application. Rules and influence factors of the binding between different types of active herbal components and plasma proteins are summarized in the end. Finally, a suggestion on choosing the suitable technique for different types of active herbal components is provided, and the prospect of the drug-protein binding used in the area of TCM research is also discussed.

Abstract
A simple and sensitive analytical method for the quantitative determination of buspirone in rat plasma by HPLC with fluorescence detection was developed and validated using naproxen as an internal standard. A relatively small-volume (150 µL) aliquot of rat plasma sample was prepared by a simple deproteinization procedure using acetonitrile as a precipitating organic solvent. Chromatographic separation was performed using Kinetex® C8 column with an isocratic mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 10-mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The eluent was monitored by fluorescence detector at a wavelength pair of 237/380 nm (excitation/emission). The linearity was established at 20.0-5000 ng/mL, and the limit of detection was 6.51 ng/mL. The precision (≤14.6%), accuracy (89.2-108%), and stability (89.1-101%) were within acceptable ranges. The newly developed method was successfully applied to intravenous and oral pharmacokinetic studies of buspirone in rats.
