The invention discloses a method used for identifying and detecting danhong injection
in vivo metabolites. The method comprises following steps: danhong injection is used for
tail vein injection of SD rats, blood samples are collected at different time points,
centrifugation is carried out so as to obtain
blood plasma, the
blood plasma is subjected to treatment, a Qtrap liquid chromatograph /
mass spectrometer is adopted for
gradient elution separation of obtained samples, and combination of a plurality of scanning
modes, including EMS-IDA-EPI, (p)MRM-IDA-EPI, and NL / Pre-IDA-EPI, with MetabolitePilot<TM>
metabolite idenfifying
software is adopted for analysis of obtained metabolites. It is found that the II phase metabolites of
active components, including tanshinol,
protocatechuic acid, protocatechualdehyde, and
rosmarinic acid, in the danhong injection are mainly a series of methylated, sulfated, methylated-sulfated, and glucuronidated metabolites. The metabolites change along with the passage of
drug administration time, the concentations of most of the metabolites reaches C<max> in 10 to 30min, and most the original
drug and the metabolites are eliminated in 6h. The method is simple, is high in
repeatability and accuracy, is reliable, and is capable of providing basis for clinical applications of danhong injection.
