[In vitro recovery rate of bullatine A microdialysis probe].

To establish UPLC-MS/MS method for determination of the recovery rate of bullatine A microdialysis probe. The concentration difference method(incremental method, decrement method) was used to measure in vitro recoveries, and the effects of perfusate pH value, flow rate, concentration, and temperature on the recovery rate were investigated to explore the feasibility of microdialysis for the pharmacokinetic study of bullatine A. The method of UPLC-MS/MS showed good linear relationship within the required range; the specificity, recovery rate and precision of chromatography met the requirements of microdialysis samples. There was no significant difference in the measured recovery rate between incremental method and decrement method. Under the same conditions, in vitro recovery rate of the probe was decreased with the increase of flow rate, and was significantly increased with the increase of temperature, but was independent of bullatine A concentrations around the probe. The results showed that, microdialysis technology can be used for the pharmacokinetic study of bullatine A, and retrodialysis method (decrement method) can be used for the determination of the in vivo recovery rate of bullatine A microdialysis.
