Ethnopharmacological relevanceAcorus tatarinowii Schott (AT), belong to the family Araceae, is perennial herbaceous plant mainly present in China, Japan and India. The rhizomes of AT have been used as a famous traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of central nervous system related diseases.Aim of the studyA selective, accurate and sensitive method using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) for the simultaneous determination and pharmacokinetic study of β-asarone, α-asarone, elemicin and cis-methyl isoeugenol in rat plasma was developed and validated.Materials and methodsThe GC-MS system was operated under selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. The samples were prepared by protein precipitation with acetonitrile after being spiked with an internal standard (1-naphthol). The GC separation was achieved on a DB-1701 column (60 m à 0.25 mm ID, and 0.25 µm film thickness).ResultsThe current GC/MS assay was validated for linearity, intra-day and inter-day precisions, accuracy, extraction recovery and stability. The analyte calibration curves were linear over a wide concentration range and the lowest limit of quantifications (LLOQ) were 5.53 ng/mL (β-asarone), 6.50 ng/mL (α-asarone), 3.10 ng/mL (elemicin) and 7.60 ng/mL (cis-methyl isoeugenol). After oral administration 0.9 g /Kg of AT rhizomes, the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) was 2508.6±498.7 ng/mL for β-asarone, 257.5±37.1 ng/mL for α -asarone, 345.5±33.4 ng/mL for elemicin and 452.7±59.1 ng/mL for cis-methyl isoeugenol, respectively. The time to reach the maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) was 1.42±0.18 h for β-asarone, 1.58±0.19 h for α -asarone, 1.67±0.24 h for elemicin and 1.75±0.38 h for cis-methyl isoeugenol, respectively.ConclusionThis paper described a simple, sensitive and validated GC-MS method for simultaneous determination of four phenylpropanoids in rat plasma after oral administration of the essential oil of AT rhizomes and investigated on their pharmacokinetics studies as well.
