Abstract
Microdialysis has been used to detect the concentrations of drugs in tissues. Geniposide (GE), an iridoid glycoside compound, is the main bioactive component of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis fruit. We previously demonstrated that GE could control the activity of cytokines and reduce levels of inflammation in adjuvant arthritis (AA) rats, but the topic of concentration changes over time in the joint synovia of AA has rarely been studied. In this study, a microdialysis technique combined with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC/ESI-MS/MS) was set up and confirmed to assay GE in the dialysate of the joint cavity in AA rats. Mass detection was conducted in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode with negative ESI, and paeoniflorin (Pae) was used as an internal standard (IS). A lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of 5ng/mL was found using this method and with good linearity in the range of 5-4000ng/mL. All the validation data including accuracy, precision, intra and inter-day repeatability and stability meet the requirements. The relative recoveries of GE were determined at approximately 40.01%. The measurements based on microdialysis combined with UHPLC/ESI-MS/MS provide a method for sampling and rapid sensitive analysis of GE in the dialysate of the joint cavity in AA rats. This method should be considered for future pharmacokinetics studies.
