Summary: | Objective To analyse the quantification of protopine from Corydalis Decumbentis Rhizoma(CDR)extract in brain tissues of rats.Methods A rapid,sensitive,and accurate analytical method based on rapid resolution liquid chromatography(RRLC)coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry(Q-TOF-MS)was developed for the quantification of protopine in brain of rats.A simple liquid-liquid extraction process was employed for the sample preparation.Chromatographic separation was achieved using 1.8μm porous particle columns.Results The calibration curve of protopine was linear in the range of 12-897 ng/mL.The relative standard deviations of intra-and inter-day precision values were less than 10%.The extraction recoveries were 96.4%,99.6%,and 98.5%,for protopine at the concentration of 598.0,119.6,and 12.0 ng/mL,respectively,and internal standard(1.27μg/mL)was(98.60±0.02)%.Conclusion The validated method is successfully applied for the determination of protopine in brain tissue of rats after ig administration of CDR extract. |
