Abstract: AIM: To determination of scutellarin in human plasma by LC-MS method and investigate the pharmacokinetics of breviscapine tablets in Chinese healthy volunteers.METHODS: 20 male healthy volunteers were received a single oral dose of 120 mg breviscapine tablets.The plasma concentration of scutellarin aglycone was determined by HPLC-MS method.RESULTS: The linear range was 3.24-0.0126 mg°L-1.Within-day RSD and between-day RSD were less than 12%.The main pharmacokinetic parameters were as follows:Tmax was 7.0±2.3 h, Cmax was 0.9±0.5mg°L-1, AUC0-24h was 5.6±1.6 mg°h°L-1, AUC0-∞ was 5.8±1.6 mg°h°L-1, MRT0-24h was 8.0±1.1 h, and MRT0-∞ was 8.6±1.4 h.CONCLUSION: This method is sensitive, fast, and accurate, and it can be used for pharmacokinetic studies of scutellarin in humans.
