Abstract

Compound Danshen Dripping Pill (CDDP) is an important drug widely used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. An active component Danshensu (DS) of CDDP was separated by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography using column-switching system and analyzed by electrospray mass spectrometry. With this validated assay the pharmacokinetics of CDDP was studied in 10 healthy volunteers after a single oral administration of 250 mg. After trichloroacetic acid precipitation of serum proteins, the analytes were preconcentrated and black-flushed on a reversed-phase column for separation using a switching valve. The analytes were ionized using negative electrospray ionization (ESI) mode. The precursor ion of m/ z 196.6 was used to quantify DS in serum. The linear calibration curve ranged from 1.25 to 175 μg/mL. The limit of quantification (LOQ) for DS was 0.15 μg/mL. The intra-day and inter-day precision (R.S.D.) was less than 7.4 and 7.9%, respectively.
