Abstract
A simple and selective HPLC assay was developed and utilized for determination of human plasma protein binding of baicalin. The method involved solid-phase extraction and reversed-phase chromatographic separation with a mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.02 mol/L phosphate buffer (pH 2.5; 25:75, v/v) and UV detection at 276 nm. The standard curve for baicalin was linear over the concentration range 0.1-20 microg/mL and the limit of detection was 0.02 microg/mL. The absolute recovery was greater than 76%. The intra-day and inter-day variations were less than 10%. Ultrafiltration technique was applied to determining the plasma protein binding of baicalin in human plasma. Results show the plasma protein binding of baicalin was in the range 86-92% over all the concentrations studied and the protein binding association constant was determined to be 1.21 x 10(5) L/mol at 4 degrees C.
