摘要
Shenkang injection is a traditional Chinese formula with good curative effect on chronic renal failure. In this paper, a novel, rapid and sensitive ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q Exactive hybrid quadrupole Orbitrap high-resolution accurate mass spectrometry was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of seven bioactive constituents of Shenkang injection in rat plasma and tissues after intravenous administration. Acetonitrile was used as a protein precipitation agent in biological samples disposal with carbamazepine as internal standard. The chromatographic separation was carried out on a C-18 column with a gradient mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and water (containing 0.1% formic acid). The MS analysis was performed in the full-scan positive and negative ion mode. The lower limits of quantification for the seven analytes in rat plasma and tissues were 0.1-10ng/mL. The validated method was successfully applied to tissue distribution and pharmacokinetic studies of Shenkang injection after intravenous administration. The results of the tissue distribution study showed that the high concentrations of seven constituents were primarily in the kidney tract. This is the first report of the application of Q-Orbitrap with full-scan mass spectrometry in tissue distribution and pharmacokinetic studies of Shenkang injection.
