Journal of ethnopharmacology(2022)
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE:Qixue Shuangbu Prescription (QSP) is a classical traditional Chinese medicine prescription, which has widely used for the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF). Preliminary clinical studies have shown that the efficacy of processed QSP (P-QSP) in treating CHF is greater than crude QSP (C-QSP). However, the pharmacokinetic characteristics of its major bioactive components under pathological conditions are unclear.
AIM OF STUDY:This study aims to compare pharmacokinetics of seven bioactive components after oral administration of C-QSP and P-QSP in CHF model rats.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:Ginsenoside Rb1, ginsenoside Re, ginsenoside Rg1, ferulic acid, astragaloside IV, calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside, and paeoniflorin in QSP were used as the target components. CHF model in rats was induced by the intraperitoneal injection of doxorubicin. A microdialysis combined with UPLC-MS/MS method was first established to compare the pharmacokinetics of seven major bioactive components in CHF model rats after oral administration of C-QSP and P-QSP.
RESULTS:This method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic investigation of seven major components of C-QSP and P-QSP following oral administration in CHF model rats. Compared with the C-QSP group, the Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ of ginsenoside Rb1, ginsenoside Re, ginsenoside Rg1, ferulic acid, astragaloside IV and paeoniflorin significantly increased (P < 0.05) in the P-QSP group, which suggested that the absorptivity and bioavailability were increased. Lower T1/2, MRT0-t of ginsenoside Rb1, gerulic acid and higher T1/2, MRT0-t of ginsenoside Rb1, astragaloside IV, paeoniflorin in the P-QSP group, which indicated that eliminated more quickly or slowly, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS:The pharmacokinetic parameters of bioactive components were significantly changed for better bioavailability and absorption, longer lasting time elimination, which were beneficial for enhancing therapeutic efficacy in the P-QSP group. This study will provide a new perspective to explain the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic correlation of P-QSP on the treatment of CHF.
