Abstract

Abstract: A rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of puerarin, daidzin, daidzein, 3′‐hydroxy puerarin, and genistein in rat plasma after oral administration of Puerariae lobatae radix extract. The method of protein precipitation with acetonitrile was used for sample preparation. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a C18 column with the mobile phases of acetonitrile/water containing 0.1% formic acid. The analytes were detected by mass spectrometer with an electrospray ionization source operating in the negative ion mode. The linearity, precision, accuracy, dilution reliability, recovery, matrix effects, and stability of the method were within acceptable ranges. The developed method was successfully used to compare the pharmacokinetic characteristics of five analytes in normal and type 2 diabetics rats after oral administration of Puerariae lobatae radix extract. Several pharmacokinetic alterations were observed and this might be caused by the pathological state of type 2 diabetes.
