title: [In vivo Pharmacokinetics of Notoginsenoside R1 in Ischemia Rats After Acute Myocardial Infarction].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To establish an HPLC-UV method for determining pharmacokinetic difference of notoginsenoside R1 between normal rats and ischemic rats.
  
  
  METHODS
  48 male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group and acute myocardial ischemia( AMI) model group induced by pituitrin and each group was classified into high,middle and low-dose of groups with notoginsenoside R1 (200, 100 and 50 mg/kg) respectively. Blood samples were collected at different points in time after they were administered once by gavage and separated by Waters symmetry C18 column (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 µm) under the detective wavelength 203 nm, the mobile phase was acetonitrile-water with icariin as the internal standard and the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS 2. 0.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Notoginsenoside R1 had good linearity in the ranges of 0.2~125 µg/mL (R2 = 0.9997) with SNR 1:3 and the lowest detection limit was 0.053 µg/mL, the extraction rate, RSDs of within-day and between-day, specificity, accuracy and precision accorded with the require-ment of bio-sample pretreatment. Compared to the normal group, AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞ was significantly increased (P < 0.01) and the terminal half-life was prolonged markedly (P < 0.01) in AMI group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The method is simple, accurate and had high specificity and sensitivity, that could be applied in quantitative determination of notoginsenoside R1 and research of pharmacokinetics; the relative bioavailability of notoginsenoside R1 is increased significantly in AMI group,which indicates that notoginsenoside R1 has better effect in model rat.
