Development and validation of a simple and rapid UPLC-MS/MS method for loganin and its application in pharmacokinetic and tissue distribution studies. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 319:117130. [PMID: 37678422 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/09/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc. is a medicinal and edible homolog in traditional Chinese medicine. Loganin, an iridoid glycoside, is one of the main active components of Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc. Loganin has been demonstrated to improve depression-like behavior and may be a potential antidepressant candidate. However, the pharmacokinetic characteristics and tissue distribution of loganin, especially in the brain region, are still unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aims to investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics and tissue distribution after oral administration of loganin in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS A simple, rapid and reproducible UPLC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the determination of loganin in rat plasma and tissues. The samples were prepared by acetonitrile precipitation with chloramphenicol as internal standard (IS). Loganin was separated by gradient elution on ACQUITY UPLC®BEH C18 (2.1 × 50 mm, 1.7 μm) using multiple reactions monitoring (MRM) mode. Concentration-time data was subjected to pharmacokinetic analysis. The pharmacokinetic parameters of loganin in rat plasma were analyzed by compartment model using DAS 2.0 software. RESULTS The established UPLC-MS/MS method was accurate and reliable with a good linearity (R2 > 0.99) in the respective concentration range, satisfying the quantitative requirements. This method was successfully used to study the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution after oral administration of loganin in rats. The peak time (Tmax) of oral administration was about 40 min, and the half-life (t1/2) was about 50 min, indicating that loganin was quickly absorbed and eliminated in rats. Oral bioavailability was 5.50%. The dose correlation results showed that AUC had a poor correlation with dose, while Cmax had a good correlation with dose. In tissues, loganin (35 mg/kg) was highly distributed in the stomach, small intestine, kidney, liver and lung. When the dose was 70 mg/kg, loganin had significant distribution in the cortex. CONCLUSION In this study, a simple and sensitive UPLC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the determination of loganin in rat plasma and tissues. Loganin was absorbed quickly, eliminated quickly, and had low bioavailability. The distribution of loganin in the cortex was higher than that in the hippocampus. We hope that our results can provide a reference for loganin to become a new antidepressant.

Abstract
The genera Dipsacus L. and Scabiosa L. of the Caprifoliaceae family are widely distributed in Europe, Asia, and Africa. This work reviews the available literature on the phytochemical profiles, ethnomedicinal uses, and biological activities of the most popular species. These plants are rich sources of many valuable specialized metabolites with beneficial medicinal properties, such as triterpenoid derivatives, iridoids, phenolic acids, and flavonoids. They are also sources of essential oils. The genus Dipsacus has been used for centuries in Chinese and Korean folk medicines to treat bone (osteoporosis) and joint problems (rheumatic arthritis). The Korean Herbal Pharmacopoeia and Chinese Pharmacopoeia include Dipsaci radix, the dried roots of D. asperoides C.Y.Cheng & T.M.Ai. In addition, S. comosa Fisch. ex Roem & Schult. and S. tschiliiensis Grunning are used in traditional Mongolian medicine to treat liver diseases. The current scientific literature data indicate that these plants and their constituents have various biological properties, including inter alia antiarthritic, anti-neurodegenerative, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, and antimicrobial activities; they have also been found to strengthen tendon and bone tissue and protect the liver, heart, and kidney. The essential oils possess antibacterial, antifungal, and insecticidal properties. This paper reviews the key biological values of Dipsacus and Scabiosa species, as identified by in vitro and in vivo studies, and presents their potential pharmacological applications.

Abstract
Iridoid glycosides (IGs) are found in many medicinal and edible plants, such as Gardenia jasminoides, Cistanche tubulosa, Eucommia ulmoides, Rehmanniae Radix, Lonicera japonica, and Cornus officinalis. Loganin, an IG, is one of the main active ingredient of Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc., which approved as a medicinal and edible plant in China. Loganin has been widely concerned due to its extensive pharmacological effects, including anti-diabetic, antiinflammatory, neuroprotective, and anti-tumor activities, etc. Studies have shown that these underlying mechanisms include anti-oxidation, antiinflammation and anti-apoptosis by regulating a variety of signaling pathways, such as STAT3/NF-κB, JAK/STAT3, TLR4/NF-κB, PI3K/Akt, MCP-1/CCR2, and RAGE/Nox4/p65 NF-κB signaling pathways. In order to better understand the research status of loganin and promote its application in human health, this paper systematically summarized the phytochemistry, analysis methods, synthesis, pharmacological properties and related mechanisms, and pharmacokinetics based on the research in the past decades.

Abstract
Qixue-Shuangbu Prescription (QSP) is an efficacious prescription for treating heart failure, myocardial ischemia and other diseases. It is composed of nine Chinese herbs. This study investigated and compared the pharmacokinetics of QSP in rats by UPLC-MS/MS between two dosage forms of traditional decoction (TD) and compound tincture (CT). Owing to the complexity of the chemicals in QSP, ginsenoside Rg1, ginsenoside Re, ferulic acid, astragaloside IV, rhein and calycosin were chosen for the pharmacokinetics study. The method established for detecting serum specimens was shown to have acceptable selectivity, linearity, lower limit of quantitation, precision, accuracy, recovery, matrix effect and stability. The peak concentration, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ of ginsenoside Re, ginsenoside Rg1, ferulic acid and rhein were significantly increased after oral administration of CT (P < 0.05), the half-life of ferulic acid in the CT group was lower than that in the TD group (P < 0.05) and the half-life and AUC0-∞ of astragaloside IV in the CT group were significantly increased (P < 0.05), which revealed that wine-processing could influence the bioavailability and the elimination of these compounds. For better clinical efficacy, we suggest that the CT dosage form of QSP should be selected.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2020; 258:112912. [PMID: 32348843 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2020.112912] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2019] [Revised: 04/05/2020] [Accepted: 04/22/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Dipsacus asper Wall. ex C.B. Clarke, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, has long been used in China for the therapy of bone diseases (e.g. bone fracture, osteoporosis, rheumatic arthritis), traumatic hematoma, uterine bleeding and those caused by the deficiency of liver and kidney. AIM OF THE STUDY This work aims to evaluate current research progress on chemical constituents, pharmacological activities, quality control, and pharmacokinetic of Dipsacus asper Wall. ex C.B. Clarke, pinpoint the shortcomings of existing studies, and provide meaningful guidelines for our future investigations. METHODS Extensive database retrieval, such as PubMed, SciFinder and CNKI, was carried out by using keywords such as "Dipsacus asper", "Radix Dipsaci", and "Xuduan". Furthermore, relevant textbooks, patents, reviews, and digital documents were consulted to collate all available scientific literature and to provide a complete science-based survey of the topic. RESULTS More than 100 compounds have been isolated and identified from Dipsacus asper Wall. ex C.B. Clarke, a substantial proportion of which were reported to be triterpenoids and iridoids. Biological effects such as protective effects against bone fracture, anti-osteoporosis, neuroprotective, cardioprotective, anti-aging and protection of reproductive system activities were also evaluated in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSIONS Diaphoretic processing resulted in the drop in the content of asperosaponin VI, which was highly associated with bone protective effect of DA. Therefore, diaphoretic processing was not a suitable processing method for DA. Although Dipsacus asper Wall. ex C.B. Clarke was traditionally used for therapy of osteoarthritis, the in-depth study of the underlying mechanism was very rare. Much endeavor had been made on the effect of DA on bone fracture. Notably, high-dose of Dipsacus asper administration may cause adverse impacts in maternal healthy and embryo-fetal development. It's not suitable for further development in those bioactivities, such as anti-inflammatory and free radical scavenging, which are shared in many other plant species. Pharmacological effects of individual component of DA is not equivalent to its traditional usage. Attention should be paid to the traditional effect of extract of DA.

Abstract
Our study investigated the differences in pharmacokinetics of three major components of crude Cimicifuga foetida L. and its fried product and honey- and liquor-prepared products. A rapid and sensitive ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry approach was established for determing caffeic acid, isoferulic acid and ferulic acid in rat plasma. The approach has good linearity, precision, accuracy, recovery and stability. Phenolic acid was rapidly absorbed. The times to peak concentration were shorter in the processed group than those for the crude product, with their values of <30 min. The peak concentration values of caffeic acid and isoferulic acid were higher in the crude group than in the processed groups (p < 0.05). Area under the curve values of the three phenolics in the crude group were significantly higher than those of the processed groups (p < 0.05).

Abstract
A simple and sensitive analysis using ultra high performance liquid chromatography with a tandem mass spectrometric system operated in selected reaction monitoring mode was developed for the determination of 11 phenolic acids, atractyloside, and carboxyatractyloside in rat plasma. The two classes of analytes were then separated on a Waters ACQUITY™ UPLC HSS T3 column (50 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.8 µm) using gradient elution with a mobile phase of 0.2% formic acid in water containing 10 mM ammonium acetate and methanol. Detection was accomplished by selected reaction monitoring scanning via an electrospray source operating in negative ionization mode. The calibration curve was linear (R2 = 0.990) over a concentration range of 1.20-3500 ng/mL, while the validated lower limit of quantification was 1.20 ng/mL. The precision varied from 0.84 to 4.62%, and the accuracy varied within ±5%. The method proved robust with sample freezing and thawing and with short- and long-term sample storage. The established method was used for simultaneous quantification and was successfully used for the first time for the pharmacokinetic evaluation of 13 compounds after the intragastric administration of raw and processed Fructus Xanthii in rats. The results indicated that processing affects the absorption and metabolism of Fructus Xanthii extract. Importantly, the results also indicated the importance of processing for the clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine.

J Sep Sci 2019; 42:2214-2221. [PMID: 31037819 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.201900146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2019] [Revised: 04/12/2019] [Accepted: 04/23/2019] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Ecdysterone and saponins are the most characteristic components of Radix Achyranthes bidentate, which acts on the human body to promote collagen synthesis and stimulates cell growth. However, the relationship between these components and the differentiation of MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells is unknown. We developed a rapid ultra high performance liquid chromatography with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry method for direct determination of one ecdysterone and four saponins in crude and salt-processed Radix Achyranthes bidentate. The method was interrogated in terms of linearity, intra- and inter-day precision, repeatability, stability and recovery. The method was linear within the concentration ranges of 0.003-336 μg/mL for β-ecdysterone, 0.0035-130 μg/mL for 25S-inokosterone, 0.004-423 μg/mL for ginsenoside Ro, 0.0036-66 μg/mL for chikusetsusaponin IV and 0.0044-111 μg/mL for chikusetsusaponin IVa. The intra- and inter-day precisions were all within 2.7%. The standard addition method determined recovery rates for each component (98.7-102.5%). The method was successfully applied to simultaneously quantify five components in ten batches of crude and salt-processed Radix Achyranthes bidentate. Subsequently, the examination of these extracts on the differentiation of MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells were carried out. Finally, the relationships between the contents of five components and their anti-osteoporosis effect were investigated by using canonical correlation analysis.

Abstract
Angelicae Pubescentis Radix (APR), a well-known traditional Chinese medicine, is widely used for the treatments of rheumatism and headache for centuries. To assess the absorption characteristics of coumarins from APR, a sensitive and reliable UPLC-MS/MS method was established for the simultaneous determination of sixteen coumarins from APR, including psoralen, xanthotoxin, bergapten, bergaptol, isoimperatorin, imperatorin, columbianetin, columbianetin acetate, columbianadin, oxypeucedanin hydrate, angelol B, umbelliferone, scopoletin, osthole, meranzin hydrate and nodakenetin. The specificity, linearity, sensitivity, precision, accuracy, recovery, matrix effect and stability of the method were all validated to be satisfactory. The method was then applied to the in vitro transport of APR extract (APRE) across human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cell and in vivo pharmacokinetics in rats after oral administration of APRE. All of the tested coumarins were well or moderately absorbed across Caco-2 monolayers, and could be quickly absorbed into rat blood circulation after oral administration. Columbianetin was the most easily absorbed compound across Caco-2 cell, and also had extremely highest plasma concentration in vivo. Excellent correlation between in vitro absorption across Caco-2 cell monolayers and in vivo pharmacokinetics of coumarins from APRE was well verified. The results provided valuable information for the overall absorption characteristics of the coumarins from APR, as well as for its further studies of in vivo active substances in the further.
