METHODS AND RESULTS: The separation was performed on a Angilent Zorbax Extend-C14 (5 μm, 250 mm x 4.6 mm id) column, with a methanol-water mobile phase system used for gradient elution. Time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF/MS) was applied for qualitative analysis under positive ion mode. Based on the accurate molecular weight of TOF/MS detection and the compound list of RS established previously, the constituents and metabolites of RS in different matrix in vivo were identified. Six constituents of RS were identified in the plasma, sucrose, prim-O-glucosylcimifugin, cimifugin, nodakenetin, 5-O-methylvisamminol, and 3′-O-i-butyrylhammaudol. Eight constituents were identified in the urine, prim-O-glucosylcimifugin, divaricatacid, cimifugin, 4′-O-glucosyl-5-O- methylvisamminol, (3S)-2,2-dimethyl-3, 5-dihydroxy-8-hydroxymethyl-3, 4-dihydro-2H, 6H-benzo-[1, 2-b: 5, 4-b′] dipyran-6-one, 5-O-methylvisamminol, see-O-β-D-glucosylhammaudol, and wogonin. Two metabolites were identified in the urine, glucuronide of cimifujin and an isomer of it. CONCLUSIONS: The present method is reliable and effective for identifying compounds of RS in vivo, and it can provide a reference and evidence for the further pharmacodynamics experiments. |
