Abstract: | Astragaloside IV (AGS-IV) is an active constituent of Radix Astragali used in many Traditional Chinese Medicines. This paper describes a sensitive and specific assay for the quantitation of AGS-IV in rat plasma. After solid phase extraction (SPE), samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry using a reversed-phase C18 column. The assay was linear in the range 1-500 ng/ml with a limit of detection of 0.5 ng/ml. The recovery was 92.5% and within-day and between-day precision were 3.7-6.0 and 2.8-9.8%, respectively. The assay was applied to a pharmacokinetic study in rat after a single oral dose. The drug was rapidly absorbed and subsequently eliminated according to a biphasic concentration-time curve. |
