Simultaneous quantification of two canthinone alkaloids of Picrasma quassioides in rat plasma by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry and its application to a rat pharmacokinetic study[Reference: WebLink]

Picrasma quassioides (D. Don) Benn. is used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of inflammation. Characteristic components of the medicinal extract are canthinone alkaloids.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
In this study, a sensitive and rapid liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry method has been developed for simultaneous quantification of two major canthinone alkaloids, 5-hydroxy-4-methoxycanthin-6-one and 4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one, in rat plasma after oral administration of P. quassioides extract (200 mg/kg). The chromatographic separation was performed on a C18 column using acetonitrile–aqueous 0.1% formic acid (90:10, v/v) as the mobile phase. Plasma samples were prepared for analysis using a simple liquid–liquid extraction with ethyl acetate. Analytes were detected using tandem mass spectrometry in positive multiple reaction monitoring mode. Method validation revealed excellent linearity over the range 1.25–900 ng/mL for 5-hydroxy-4-methoxycanthin-6-one and 0.5–800 ng/mL for 4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one with satisfactory intra- and inter-day precision, accuracy and recovery. Samples were stable under the conditions tested.
CONCLUSIONS:
The pharmacokinetic profiles of the analytes in rats showed that both canthinones were rapidly absorbed and that 4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one was eliminated faster than 5-hydroxy-4-methoxycanthin-6-one.

Quality Assessment of Kumu Injection, a Traditional Chinese Medicine Preparation, Using HPLC Combined with Chemometric Methods and Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Multiple Alkaloids by Single Marker.[Pubmed:29642544]

Molecules. 2018 Apr 9;23(4). pii: molecules23040856.

Kumu injection (KMI) is a common-used traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparation made from Picrasma quassioides (D. Don) Benn. rich in alkaloids. An innovative technique for quality assessment of KMI was developed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) combined with chemometric methods and qualitative and quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker (QAMS). Nigakinone (PQ-6, 5-hydroxy-4-methoxycanthin-6-one), one of the most abundant alkaloids responsible for the major pharmacological activities of Kumu, was used as a reference substance. Six alkaloids in KMI were quantified, including 6-hydroxy-beta-carboline-1-carboxylic acid (PQ-1), 4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one (PQ-2), beta-carboline-1-carboxylic acid (PQ-3), beta-carboline-1-propanoic acid (PQ-4), 3-methylcanthin-5,6-dione (PQ-5), and PQ-6. Based on the outcomes of twenty batches of KMI samples, the contents of six alkaloids were used for further chemometric analysis. By hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), radar plots, and principal component analysis (PCA), all the KMI samples could be categorized into three groups, which were closely related to production date and indicated the crucial influence of herbal raw material on end products of KMI. QAMS combined with chemometric analysis could accurately measure and clearly distinguish the different quality samples of KMI. Hence, QAMS is a feasible and promising method for the quality control of KMI.

Pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of 4,5-dimethoxycanthin-6-one and its major metabolites in rats.[Pubmed:28258983]

J Pharm Biomed Anal. 2017 May 30;139:22-29.

4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one and 5-hydroxy-4-methoxycanthin-6-one are the active ingredients of P. quassiodes. In the present work, a LC-MS/MS method was developed for the determination of 4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one and its major metabolites 5-hydroxy-4-methoxycanthin-6-one (M1) and 4-hydroxy-5-methoxycanthin-6-one (M2) in rat plasma and tissues, and applied to study their pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution after intramuscular administration of 4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one to rats. By protein precipitation with methanol for plasma samples and liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate for tissue samples, the analytes were separated on an ODS C18 column with a mobile phase consisted of methanol and water (0.1% formic acid), and quantified by a MS detector in positive multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. MS transitions were m/z 281.0-->167.1 for 4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one, m/z 267.0-->168.1 for M1 and M2, m/z 251.0-->195.1 for 3-methylcanthin-2,6-dione (IS). The pharmacokinetic results indicate that 4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one is absorbed rapidly (Tmax=5.4-6.4min), distributed rapidly and widely in the order of liver>kidney approximately lung approximately large intestine approximately small intestine, and eliminated quickly (t1/2z=64.9-77.7min) following the intramuscular administration. Furthermore, M1 and M2 were detected only in rat plasma and liver at the indicated times after the intramuscular administration.

Identification of in vivo and in vitro metabolites of 4,5-dimethoxycanthin-6-one by HPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS.[Pubmed:27030894]

J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci. 2016 May 1;1020:78-84.

4,5-Dimthexycanthin-6-one and 5-hydroxy-4-methoxycanthin-6-one are the main active ingredients of Picrasma quassioides, which is a widely used herbal medicine for the treatment of gastroenteritis, snakebite, infection and hypertension in China. In the present study, the in vitro metabolites of 4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one in rat, mouse, dog and human liver microsomes, as well as the in vivo metabolites in rat plasma and urine following a single oral dose of 4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one, were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography combined with triple TOF mass spectrometry (HPLC-TOF/MS/MS). The metabolites were elucidated based on an accurate mass measurement, the MS/MS fragmentation patterns, the retention times of the parent drug and its metabolites, and the relevant drug biotransformation rules. After incubation in liver mcrosomes for 50 min, 4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one produced 8 phase I metabolites including 2 mono-demethylated metabolites (M1, M2), 3 mono-hydroxylated metabolites (M3-M5), and 3 mono-demethylated and mono-hydroxylated metabolites (M6-M8) in rat and mouse liver microsomes, 7 phase I metabolites (without M7) in dog and human liver microsomes. After a single oral administration of 4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one to rats, there were 3 phase I metabolites (M1, M2 and M5) detected in rat plasma and 5 phase I metabolites (M1-M5) in rat urine. Phase II metabolites were not detected in rat plasma and urine. Among these metabolites, mono-demethylated metabolites (M1 and M2) were the major metabolites of 4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one, mono-hydroxylated metabolites (M3-M5) were the minor metabolites of 4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one.

The pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of three canthinone alkaloids after administration of Kumu injection to rats.[Pubmed:26806576]

J Ethnopharmacol. 2016 Apr 22;182:235-41.

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Kumu injection (KMI) is made from the branches and stems of Picrasma quassiodes (D. Don) Benn. and has been used clinically for the treatment of upper respiratory tract infection, acute tonsillitis, enteritis and bacillary dysentery. 3-methylcanthin-2,6-dione, 5-hydroxy-4-methoxycanthin-6-one, 4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one are the active ingredients of KMI because of its therapeutic effects. AIM OF THE STUDY: To develop a LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of three active canthinone alkaloids (4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one, 5-hydroxy-4-methoxycanthin-6-one and 3-methylcanthin-2,6-dione) in rat plasma and for the pharmacokinetic study of them after administered of KMI to rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Rats were divided into 5 groups (n=5 per group), 3 groups administered intramuscularly with a single dose of KMI at 0.30, 0.45 and 0.90mL/kg respectively, and the other 2 groups administered intragastically or intravenously a single dose of KMI at 0.9mL/kg respectively. The concentrations of 4,5-Dimethoxycanthin-6-one, 5-hydroxy-4-methoxycanthin-6-one and 3-methylcanthin-2,6-dione in plasma were determined by the established LC-MS/MS method at different time points and the pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated by non-compartmental analysis. RESULTS: Pharmacokinetic results indicated that all of the alkaloids were absorbed rapidly and 3-methylcanthin-2,6-dione was eliminated fastest in rats. After intramuscular administration of KMI to rats, the absolute bioavailability is excellent, and the pharmacokinetic profiles are characterized by the first order kinetics. CONCLUSION: The established method is suitable for the quantitation of the three alkaloids in rat plasma. And this pharmacokinetic study suggested that intramuscular injection of KMI was suitable in clinical usage.
