Studies on the metabolism of lappaconitine in humans. Identification of the metabolites of lappaconitine in human urine by high performance liquid chromatography.
The metabolites of lappaconitine in the urine of humans having been previously administered intramuscularly with lappaconitine hydrobromide were studied using high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical and ultraviolet detection. The urine was extracted by means of liquid- and solid-phase extractions. Each of the metabolites of lappaconitine was purified by high performance liquid chromatography on a reversed phase column and identified on the basis of the chromatographic behaviour and the detector response. It was proved that lappaconitine, N-deacetyl-16-O-demethyllappaconitine and N-deacetyllappaconitine were excreted in urine from humans receiving lappaconitine.
