Abstract: AIM: To establish an HPLC method for the analysis of tissue distribution of triptolide in rats.METHODS: The concentrations of triptolide in biological samples were determined by an HPLC method with UV detection.RESULTS: The results of tissue distribution showed that triptolide was distributed widely in rats.The highest levels were found in lung, liver and kidney after i.v.administration (200 μg/kg) of triptolide.The peak levels appeared at 5 min and decreased significantly in 60 min in most tissues. CONCLUSION: Triptolide is widely distributed and rapidly eliminated in main tissues, and it can permeate blood brain barrier and blood testicle barrier.

Key words: triptolide, HPLC, tissue distribution
