High-performance liquid chromatographic assay of malagashanine in rat plasma and urine and its pharmacokinetic application.
A reversed-phase HPLC method was developed for quantitative analysis of malagashanine in rat plasma and urine. Malagashanine and internal standard were extracted from alkalinized rat plasma. Urine analysis was performed by direct injection onto the HPLC system. Acetonitrile-aqueous 25 mM sodium acetate solution at pH 6.25 (45:55, v/v) was used as the mobile phase. The eluate was monitored by using UV detection at 250 nm. The assay was linear within the concentration range of 10-1000 ng/ml. Both intra- and inter-day accuracy and precision were within acceptable limits. The method was applied to study the pharmacokinetics of malagashanine in rats.
