Tissue distribution study of mangiferin after intragastric administration of mangiferin monomer, Rhizoma Anemarrhenae, and Rhizoma Anemarrhenae-Phellodendron decoctions in normal or type 2 diabetic rats by LC-MS/MS.

A simple, accurate, and reliable liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the determination of mangiferin in rat plasma and tissue homogenates using rutin as an internal standard (IS). Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Shiseido CAPCELL PAK C column (150 × 2.0 mm, 5 μm) using a gradient elution of 1% acetic acid in water and methanol at a flow rate of 300 μL·min.

LC-MS/MS determination and comparative pharmacokinetics of strychnine, brucine and their metabolites in rat plasma after intragastric administration of each monomer and the total alkaloids from Semen Strychni.

A rapid, specific and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of strychnine, brucine, strychnine N-oxide and brucine N-oxide in rat plasma. Plasma samples were pretreated via simple protein precipitation with methanol and ephedrine hydrochloride was used as internal standard. Chromatographic separation was carried out on an ZORBAX Eclipse XDB-C18 column (2.

Simultaneous determination of timosaponin B-II and A-III in rat plasma by LC-MS/MS and its application to pharmacokinetic study.

A rapid, specific and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of timosaponin B-II (TB-II) and A-III (TA-III) in rat plasma. Plasma samples were pretreated via simple protein precipitation with acetonitrile and ginsenoside Rg2 was used as internal standard. Chromatographic separation was carried out on an Agilent XDB-C8 (150 mm × 2.
