ABSTRACT
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Yinchenzhufu decoction (YCZFD) is a classical Chinese herbal formula and has been used to treat severe jaundice in chronic liver injuries since the Qing Dynasty (18th century CE). To identify the components absorbed into the blood in YCZFD and explore their pharmacokinetic profile for understanding the effective ingredients of YCZFD. MATERIALS AND METHODS:
After rats were given YCZFD by intragastric administration, the plasma was processed by precipitation of protein. The compounds in YCZFD extract and the plasma were identified by using high-resolution mass spectrometry with a database-directed strategy. The pharmacokinetics of multiple compounds from YCZFD in rat plasma was studied by using the established UPLC-MS/MS method.RESULTS:
Forty compounds in YCZFD extract and 21 prototype compounds with 11 metabolites in rat plasma were detected after oral administration. The pharmacokinetic parameters of glycyrrhizic acid, glycyrrhetic acid, cinnamic acid, ononin, atractylenolide III, and liquiritin from YCZFD were obtained in rats.CONCLUSIONS:
The identified constituents and the pharmacokinetic features of YCZFD are helpful for understanding the material bases of its therapeutic effects.Key words
