The gallotannin penta-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucose (PGG) has many biological activities including in vivo anti-cancer efficacy. We present in this paper a scaled-up protocol for its preparation in high purity from tannic acid by acidic methanolysis with typical yield of 15%. We also describe a method for the analysis of PGG in mouse plasma by HPLC and its application in preliminary pharmacokinetic studies. A liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) protocol was optimized for the extraction of PGG from mouse plasma. The extraction efficiency for PGG at 1 μg/mL in mouse plasma was 70.0±1.3% (n=5). The limit of detection (LOD) for PGG was approximately 0.2 μg/mL. Preliminary pharmacokinetic parameters of PGG following a single i.p. injection with 5% ethanol/saline vehicle in mice were established. The peak plasma PGG concentrations (C(max)) were approximately 3-4 μM at a dose of 0.5 mg per mouse (∼20 mg/kg) at 2 h post-injection (T(max)).
没食子单宁五-O-没食子酰基-β-D-葡萄糖(PGG)具有多种生物活性,包括体内抗癌功效。我们在本文中提出了一种从鞣酸经酸性甲醇解制备高纯度 PGG 的放大方案,典型收率为 15%。我们还描述了一种用于 HPLC 分析小鼠血浆中 PGG 及其在初步药代动力学研究中的应用的方法。优化了一种液-液萃取(LLE)方案,用于从小鼠血浆中提取 PGG。在小鼠血浆中,PGG 在 1μg/mL 时的提取效率为 70.0±1.3%(n=5)。PGG 的检测限(LOD)约为 0.2μg/mL。建立了单次腹腔注射 5%乙醇/盐水载体后 PGG 的初步药代动力学参数。在注射后 2 小时(T(max)),每只小鼠剂量为 0.5 毫克(约 20 毫克/千克)时,血浆 PGG 浓度(C(max))约为 3-4μM。
