- Abstract
Background: Tanreqing capsules (TRQCs) and Tanreqing injections (TRQIs) are widely used in the treatment of respiratory diseases. In this study, a simple, rapid, and sensitive liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method was developed for simultaneous quantification of the main components of Tanreqing, which include chlorogenic acid, ursodeoxycholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, and baicalin, in beagle dog plasma to compare their pharmacokinetic parameters. Methods: Plasma samples were pretreated with protein precipitation. Chromatographic separation was performed on Waters Acquity UPLC HSS T3 (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 1.8 μm) column using a gradient elution with (A) 0.1% (v/v) formic acid aqueous solution and (B) acetonitrile. Six healthy beagles were divided into two groups, and a crossover, comparative pharmacokinetic study of TRQC (0.09 g/kg) and TRQI (0.5 mL/kg) after a single-dose administration or daily doses over 7 days was carried out. One group was administrated a single dose of TRQC and followed continuously for 7 days, whereas the other group was treated with TRQI in the same way. Results: The calibration curves were linear over the ranges of 2.00–1000.00 ng/mL for baicalin, 10.00–5000.00 ng/mL for ursodeoxycholic acid, 1.00–500.00 ng/mLfor chenodeoxycholic acid and chlorogenic acid, respectively. The relative standard deviation of both intra-day and inter-day accuracy is less than 11.23%. The average extraction recovery of all compounds was greater than 82.21%. The major pharmacokinetic parameters of the four compounds were not significantly different between the two formulations (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The measured levels of the four major components of TRQCs and TRQIs were comparable in these dogs, providing a reference for the clinical application of TRQCs instead of TRQIs.
