Determination of cepharanthine in rat plasma by LC-MS/MS and its application to a pharmacokinetic study.
PHARMACEUTICAL BIOLOGY(2017)
摘要
Context: Cepharanthine (CPA) has been reported to possess a wide range of pharmacological activities. Objective: This study investigates the pharmacokinetic characteristics after oral or intravenous administration of CPA by using a sensitive and rapid LC-MS/MS method. Materials and methods: A sensitive and rapid LC-MS/MS method was developed for the determination of CPA in Sprague-Dawley rat plasma. Twelve rats were equally randomized into two groups, including the intravenous group (1mg/kg) and the oral group (10mg/kg). Blood samples (250 mu L) were collected at designated time points and determined using this method. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated. Results: The calibration curve was linear within the range of 0.1-200ng/mL (r=0.999) with the lower limit of quantification at 0.1ng/mL. After 1mg/kg intravenous injection, the concentration of CPA reached a maximum of 153.17 +/- 16.18ng/mL and the t(1/2) was 6.76 +/- 1.21h. After oral administration of 10mg/kg of CPA, CPA was not readily absorbed and reached C-max 46.89 +/- 5.25ng/mL at approximately 2.67h. The t(1/2) was 11.02 +/- 1.32h. The absolute bioavailability of CPA by oral route was 5.65 +/- 0.35%, and the bioavailability was poor. Discussion and conclusions: The results indicate that the bioavailability of CPA was poor in rats, and further research should be conducted to investigate the reason for its poor bioavailability and address this problem.
