The internal standard was clarithromycin. A simple one-step deproteinization procedure was used to prepare plasma samples. Separation was achieved on a CAPCELL CORE ADME CI8 column with a gradient mobile phase consisting of solution A (water containing 0.1% formic acid) and solution B (acetonitrile) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was used with an electrospray ionization source (ESI) in positive mode. A good linear response was observed within the ranges of 0.01 to 5.00 ~g/mL for paeoniflorin and 0.000l to 0.05 ~tg/mL for astragaloside IV. The accuracy (RE) was within the range of-3.5% to 6.3%, and the intra- and inter-day precisions (RSD) were within 14.2%. The extraction recoveries were all above 78.9%. The pharmacokinetic study of the two analytes in rats after oral administration of Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction (HGWD) was successfully completed through this method. The method develooed in this studv will fill a gap in oharmacokinetic studies of HGWD.展开更多
