Comparative pharmacokinetics of eleven components from active part of Gerberae Piloselloidis Herba after oral administration in control and asthmatic mice.

Gerberae Piloselloidis Herba, a traditional Chinese medicine, is often employed to treat such lung-related diseases as coughs, asthma and pulmonary carbuncles in southwest China. Our previous study demonstrated that its active fraction, prepared from Gerberae Piloselloidis Herba, exerts an obvious beneficial effect on asthma. However, the pharmacokinetics of its major constituents remain unclear. Therefore, an UPLC-ESI-MS/MS method was successfully established to simultaneously perform the pharmacokinetics of main 11 components of the active fraction between normal and ovalbumin-induced asthmatic mice. Compared to normal group, in asthmatic mice the peak concentration of arbutin, marmesin, caffeoylquinic acids and flavonoid glycosides clearly increased, while for luteolin it significantly declined; the area under the curve for arbutin and luteolin showed an increase, but the values of marmesin, caffeoylquinic acids and flavonoid glycosides revealed a decline; the peak time for arbutin, caffeoylquinic acids and flavonoid glycosides decreased, while for marmesin and luteolin it significantly augmented; apart from marmesin, the half-life for all compounds shortened significantly. It is indicated that the pathology of asthma could lead to an alteration in the pharmacokinetic profiles of the 11 components in plasma, providing a reference for further exploration of the pharmacodynamic basis of the anti-bronchial effect of Gerberae Piloselloidis Herba.
