Gumiganghwal-tang is a traditional herbal medicine widely used for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects. However, the safety and efficacy of its active ingredients based on an in vivo pharmacokinetic (PK) study have yet been investigated. We have established a sensitive and accurate UPLC-ESI-MS/MS method and conducted a PK study on 14 constituents of Gumiganghwal-tang through human plasma analysis. Analytical conditions were optimized according to the physicochemical properties of the 14 compounds to facilitate efficient separation and eliminate overlap or interference between peaks. KINETEX-C and Inertsil-C columns were used as UPLC stationary phases, and acetonitrile and aqueous formic acid were used as mobile phases. All the analytes were quantified with a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer using electrospray ionization in multiple reaction monitoring mode. The chromatograms of 14 bioactive compounds showed excellent elution and sensitivity, and each peak was selectively separated and quantified without interference with each other or impurities. The established analytical method was based on international guidelines and was successfully used to perform PK studies of 14 herbal ingredients in humans after oral administration with Gumiganghwal-tang tablets. The oral absorption of most active components of Gumiganghwal-tang was relatively rapid and remained considerably long in the body to be quantified in plasma up to 48 h after administration.
九味羌活汤是一种传统草药,因其抗炎、镇痛和解热作用而被广泛使用。然而,基于体内药代动力学(PK)研究的其活性成分的安全性和有效性尚未得到研究。我们建立了一种灵敏且准确的超高效液相色谱-电喷雾串联质谱(UPLC-ESI-MS/MS)方法,并通过人血浆分析对九味羌活汤的14种成分进行了PK研究。根据14种化合物的理化性质优化了分析条件,以促进有效分离并消除峰之间的重叠或干扰。使用KINETEX-C和Inertsil-C柱作为UPLC固定相,乙腈和甲酸水溶液作为流动相。所有分析物均使用三重四极杆质谱仪在多反应监测模式下通过电喷雾电离进行定量。14种生物活性化合物的色谱图显示出出色的洗脱效果和灵敏度,每个峰均被选择性分离和定量,彼此之间无干扰或杂质。所建立的分析方法基于国际指南,并成功用于在口服九味羌活汤片剂后对14种草药成分进行人体PK研究。九味羌活汤的大多数活性成分的口服吸收相对较快,并且在体内停留时间相当长,在给药后长达48小时的血浆中仍可定量。
