RESUMO
To study the pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics correlation of protocatechuic aldehyde and hydroxysafflor yellow A alone or their combination use in rats with hyperlipidemia. In this study, the hyperlipidemia model was established by intravenous injection of protocatechuic aldehyde (20 mgâ¢kg⻹) and hydroxysafflor yellow A (12 mgâ¢kg⻹). The HPLC-DAD method was applied to determine the plasma concentration of protocatechuic aldehyde and hydroxysafflor yellow A at different time points and draw the drug effect-time curve. Meanwhile, the platelet activating factors (PAF) and plasma a granule membrane protein (GMP-140) contents were determined at different time points to draw the time-effect curve. Then DAS 3.2.6 software was used to process the data, analyze their correlation, and compare the difference of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of protocatechuic aldehyde and hydroxysafflor yellow A in hyperlipidemia rats after alone or their combined application, so as to evaluate the effect of protocatechuic aldehyde and hydroxysafflor yellow A on hyperlipidemia rats. According to the result, the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics process of protocatechuic aldehyde and hydroxysafflor yellow A in hyperlipidemia rats after alone or their combination were consistent to the three-compartment model. In model group, the plasma PAF and GMP-140 were significantly increased, and the PAF and GMP-140 in vivo contents were decreased in a certain time after treatment. The effects of protocatechuic aldehyde and hydroxysafflor yellow A against the pharmacodynamic action may be related with their level in vivo, and their plasma concentration was positively related to the PAF and GMP-140 contents. The pharmacodynamic indexes were better after the combined use of protocatechuic aldehyde and hydroxysafflor yellow A, with certain influence on each other in hyperlipidemia rats; at the same time, it also reflected the rationality of protocatechuic aldehyde and hydroxysafflor yellow A combined application.
