Abstract
|
[Objective] To systemically study metabolites of liquirtigenin in rats, an UPLC-Q-TOF/MS method was developed. [Methods] UPLC-Q-TOF/MS method was employed to identify metabolites of liquirtigenin in plasma, urine, feces and bile samples from rats after iv and ig administration of liquirtigenin (20 mg/kg). [Results] A total of 15 metabolites were characterized in those biological samples, including isoliquirtigenin, glucuronides and sulfates of (iso)liquirtigenin, davidigenin and its sulfates, methylated isoliquirtigenin, dehydrogenated liquirtigenin. The main metabolic pathways of liquirtigenin were isomerization, glucuronidation and sulfation, methylation, dehydrogenation. [Conclusion] The UPLC-Q-TOF/MS method established in this study is successfully applied to identify metabolites of liquirtigenin in rats. |
