Li N, Yuan M, Che J. Development and validation of UPLC-MS/MS method for icariin and its metabolites in mouse urine. Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1389754. [PMID: 38919252 PMCID: PMC11196403 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1389754] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
An ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was utilized to develop a technique for the simultaneous quantification of icariin and its primary metabolites in mouse urine. The levels of icariin, icariside Ⅰ, icariside Ⅱ, baohuoside Ⅱ, wushanicaritin, icaritin, and desmethylicaritin in mouse urine were analyzed subsequent to the oral administration of an icariin suspension. This study aimed to preliminarily investigate the excretion profile of icariin in mice. Using an aqueous solution containing 0.1% formic acid (A) and an acetonitrile solution containing 0.1% formic acid (B) as the mobile phases, icariin and its major metabolites demonstrated satisfactory linearity over the concentration range of 0.25-800 ng·mL-1. The precision and accuracy of intra-day and inter-day measurements were all found to be within 15%. Seventy-two hours after the intragastric administration of icariin suspension to a mouse, the cumulative urinary excretion of icariin, icariside Ⅰ, icariside Ⅱ, baohuoside Ⅱ, wushanicaritin, icaritin, and desmethylicaritin was quantified as 13.48, 18.70, 2,627.51, 2.04, 10.04, 3,420.44, and 735.13 ng, respectively. The UPLC-MS/MS method developed in this research is characterized by its simplicity, sensitivity, and speed, making it well-suited for the concurrent quantification of icariin and its associated metabolites in urine. Additionally, it is appropriate for analyzing urine samples that may contain multiple drugs in future investigations.

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemical constituents in goupi plaster prepared by various extraction methods using UPLC-Q-Exactive-MS and UPLC-MS/MS. Heliyon 2024; 10:e31365. [PMID: 38818193 PMCID: PMC11137406 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31365] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Goupi plaster, a representative preparation of black plaster, has demonstrated promising effects in treating knee osteoarthritis. However, high temperature used in traditional frying extraction may cause decomposition of its effective components, thus limiting the efficacy. This study aimed to explore the scientific nature of the traditional preparation technology of Goupi plaster, and to compare the effects of different extraction methods on the types of chemical components and the content of index components. The UPLC-Q-Exactive-MS and UPLC-MS/MS technologies which have high efficiency, sensitivity and accuracy, were used to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the chemical components of Goupi plaster under different preparation processes. The results show that the extraction solvent approach is different from the traditional frying extraction method, and has a positive effect. However, the mechanism of action of Goupi plaster is complex and its pharmacological effects are diverse. Future studies should explore whether it necessary to change the frying extraction method. This experiment provides a theoretical basis that will guide further scientific discussion and research into the frying extraction of Goupi plaster.

Abstract
The volatile and nonvolatile phytochemicals in peels of 5 major pomelo cultivars (including Citrus grandis cv. Yuhuanyou, C. grandis cv. Liangpingyou, C. grandis cv. Guanximiyou, C. grandis cv. Duweiwendanyou, and C. grandis cv. Shatianyou) from 11 places in China were characterized. First, 194 volatile compounds in pomelo peels were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Of these, 20 major volatile compounds were subjected to cluster analysis. The heatmap indicated that the volatile compounds in peels of C. grandis cv. Shatianyou and C. grandis cv. Liangpingyou were different from those in other varieties, while there was no difference among C. grandis cv. Guanximiyou, C. grandis cv. Yuhuanyou, and C. grandis cv. Duweiwendanyou from different origins. Second, 53 nonvolatile compounds were identified in pomelo peels by ultraperformance liquid chromatography-Q-exactive orbitrap tandem MS (UPLC-Q-exactive orbitrap-MS), of which 11 components were detected for the first time. Third, six major nonvolatile compounds were quantitatively analyzed with high-performance LC-photodiode array detection (HPLC-PDA). Combining the results of HPLC-PDA and the heatmap, 6 nonvolatile compounds in 12 batches of pomelo peel were well separated among varieties. Comprehensive analysis and identification of chemical components in pomelo peels are of great significance for their further development and utilization.

Abstract
Five pomelo cultivars (i.e., Citrus grandis cv. Shatianyou, Citrus grandis cv. Guanximiyou, Citrus grandis cv. Yuhuanyou, Citrus grandis cv. Duweiwendanyou and Citrus grandis cv. Liangpingyou) from different origins in China were selected to analyse their components by using supercritical CO2 fluid extraction coupled with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. A total of 45 compounds were identified in the supercritical CO2 fluid extracts of the pomelo peels from the five cultivars. These compounds included 8 flavonoids, 18 coumarins, 4 organic acids, 3 aldehydes and 12 other compounds, which were identified using the obtained MS data and by comparison with commercial standards, Orbitrap Chinese Traditional Medicine Library and previous literature. Twenty-five of the identified compounds were detected for the first time in the pomelo peel extracts. Results suggested that the pomelo peels of C. grandis cv. Shatianyou contained the most natural chemical compositions. The pooled result may offer a scientific evidence for further development and utilisation of pomelo peels and a route for screening appropriate varieties for various demands.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is the most common form of secondary osteoporosis, which is caused by a disorder in bone metabolism due to excessive activation of osteoclasts. Bushen Huoxue decoction (BHD) is an herbal formula with multiple pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant activity and stem cell migration promotion. However, the effect of BHD on osteoclastogenesis has not been reported. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the effect of BHD on RANKL-stimulated osteoclastogenesis and explored its underlying mechanisms of action in vitro. Our results show that BHD had no effect on BMMs and RAW264.7 cells viability, but inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast formation in vitro. Furthermore, BHD attenuated RANKL-induced NF-κB, ERK, and JNK signaling. The attenuation of NF-κB, ERK, and JNK activation were enough to impede downstream expression of c-fos and NFATc1 and related specific genes. Meanwhile, we investigated the therapeutic effect of BHD on glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) mice. The result indicated that BHD prevents glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis and preserves bone volume by repressing osteoclast activity. Collectively, BHD shows significant osteoclast inhibition and holds great promise in the treatment of osteoporosis.

Tailor-made deep eutectic solvents extraction combined with UPLC-MS/MS determination of icarrin and icarisid II in rat plasma and its comparative pharmacokinetic application. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2021; 199:114054. [PMID: 33831735 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2021.114054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2020] [Revised: 03/18/2021] [Accepted: 03/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Using green and high efficient solvents to extract and trace active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the complex biological samples was still challenging. In this paper, a co-friendly, fast pretreatment method with high extraction efficiency, based on the tailor-made deep eutectic solvent (DES) system, combined with ultra performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed and validated for the determination of icarrin and icarisid II in rat plasma samples, which can be further applied to comparative pharmacokinetic studies after oral administration of Herba Epimedii and icarrin monomer in rats, respectively. PrE (l-proline: ethylene glycol = 1:4 mol/mol) and acetonitrile were optimized and combined as the tailor-made DES at the volumetric ratio of 3:7 to extract icarrin and icarisid II, and to precipitate the protein in rat plasma in one step simultaneously. The extraction efficiency of the tailor-made DES was about 1.7 times of DES (PrE). The extraction recovery of icarrin and icarisid II in rat plasma samples by this method were within the range of 90-110 %, and the lower limits of quantification (LLOQ) were 0.32 ng mL-1 (icarrin) and 0.43 ng mL-1 (icarisid II). There was a linear relationship between 0.32-80.16 ng mL-1 (icarrin) and 0.43-107.4 ng mL-1 (icarisid II), which effectively reduced the detection limit. In this comparative pharmacokinetic study, the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and the area under plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0-∞) of two analytes in rat plasma of Herba Epimedii group were both much higher than those in the icarrin monomer group, which suggested that other ingredients in Herba Epimedii may contribute to the in vivo absorption of icarrin and icarisid II. This simple, rapid, relatively green and high effeicient method would provide a new approach for the extraction of active ingredients from complex biological samples.

Abstract
To systematically identify the lipophilic constituents of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium from different cultivars, supercritical CO2 fluid extraction and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-Q Exactive Orbitrap tandem mass spectrometry were integrated for the component analysis of 18 batches of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium from 12 cultivars for the first time. A total of 57 components from the supercritical CO2 fluid extracts were demonstrably or tentatively identified by the obtained parent peaks, fragment peaks, and retention times. In total, two flavonoids, six organic acids, nine coumarins, three aldehydes, seven esters, three terpenes, one limonoid, and five other compounds were detected for the first time; notably, coumarin components have not yet been reported in Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium. Furthermore, the extract constituents differed between cultivars. In particular, organic acids were more abundant in Citrus reticulata "Chachi" than in other cultivars, and pterostilbene was exclusively found in Citrus reticulata "Yichangju". The results showed that a greater variety of compounds in Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium could be extracted by supercritical CO2 fluid extraction and detected by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-Q Exactive Orbitrap tandem mass spectrometry. This study provides a more scientific basis for further analysis of the pharmacological activity and quality of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium components from different cultivars.

Abstract
Background Pharmacokinetics provides a scientific basis for drug product design, dosage regimen planning, understanding the body's action on the drug, and relating the time course of the drug in the body to its pharmacodynamics and/or toxic effects. Recently, naringin, a natural flavonoid, was approved for clinical trials as a first-class new drug product by the China Food and Drug Administration, owing to its nonclinical efficacy in relieving cough, reducing sputum, and low toxicity. Previous reports focused on the pharmacokinetic studies of naringin or its active metabolite naringenin in rats, which were scattered and insufficient because naringin was coadministered with mixtures such as herbs, fruits, and other traditional medicines. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of naringin and naringenin, following oral and intravenous administration of naringin in rats, dogs, and humans, which can be beneficial for new drug development. Methods Separate bioanalytical methods were developed and validated to determine the concentrations of naringin and its active metabolite naringenin in biological samples obtained from rats, dogs, and humans. Comprehensive nonclinical and clinical data were used to estimate the pharmacokinetic parameters of naringin and naringenin. Experiments included single-dose studies (oral and intravenous administration), multiple-dose studies, and an assessment of food-effects. Furthermore, the metabolism of naringin and naringenin was studied in rat and human liver and kidney microsomes. All biological samples were analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Results The pharmacokinetic parameters of naringin and naringenin were calculated and the results show an insignificant influence of high-fat diet and insignificant accumulation of the drugs after multiple dosing. Twelve metabolites were detected in the liver and kidney microsomes of rats and humans; naringin metabolism was a complex process simultaneously catalyzed by multiple human enzymes. All evaluated species demonstrated differences in the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of naringin and naringenin. Conclusion The results can be used to design a dosage regimen, deepen understanding of mechanisms, and accelerate new drug development.

Abstract
Icariin is one of the predominant flavonoids contained in Herba Epimedii (Yin-yang-huo in Chinese), a well-known Chinese medicine for the treatment of cancers and immune system diseases. Although Herba Epimedii has been widely used in China and there are so many and various research reports on the herbal drug and its main flavones, very limited data is available on the tissue distribution and biotransformation of icariin. In the present study, a liquid chromatographic method combined with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry was developed to quantify the concentration of icariin in rat plasma and various tissues collected at different time points after oral administration of the total flavonoid extract of Herba Epimedii at a dose of 0.69 g/kg (corresponding to 42 mg/g icariin). Biological samples were processed by simple protein precipitation. Genistein was chosen as internal standard. The method was successfully applied to plasma pharmacokinetic and tissue distribution studies of icariin in rat. As a result, it was worth noting that the tissue distribution characteristics of icariin exhibited a significant gender difference. Moreover, in vivo metabolism of icariin was also investigated. A total of 11 potential metabolites were found in rat feces collected in different time periods after oral and intramuscular administration of icariin. In vivo metabolic pathways were involved in hydrolysis, demethylation, oxidation, and conjugation. The preclinical data would be useful for fully understanding in vivo disposition of this compound and interpreting the mechanism of its biological response.

Abstract
CONTEXT Naringin is a natural flavanone glycoside that is found in the Chinese herbal medicines and citrus fruits. Studies have demonstrated that naringin possesses numerous biological and pharmacological properties, but few reviews of these studies have been performed. OBJECTIVE The present review gathers the fragmented information available in the literature describing the extraction of naringin, its pharmacology and its controlled release formulations. Current research progress and the therapeutic potential of naringin are also discussed. METHODS A literature survey for relevant information regarding the biological and pharmacological properties of naringin was conducted using Pubmed, Sciencedirect, MEDLINE, Springerlink and Google Scholar electronic databases from the year 2007-2015. RESULTS Naringin modulates signalling pathways and interacts with signalling molecules and thus has a wide range of pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer activities, as well as effects on bone regeneration, metabolic syndrome, oxidative stress, genetic damage and central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Information was gathered that showed the extraction of naringin can be improved using several modifications. There has been some progress in the development of controlled release formulations of naringin. CONCLUSION Naringin is a promising candidate for further in vivo studies and clinical use. More detailed studies regarding its mechanism of action are required.
