Abstract:
Objective To qualitatively analyze the chemical constituents in rats after intragastric administration of estrogenically active ethanol extract of Cuscuta chinensis. Methods The high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q/TOF MS/MS) was used to identify the prototypes and metabolites in rat urine. Results Twelve chemical constituents were identified in the drug-containing urine, including six prototypes and six metabolites. The prototypes are kaemoferol-3-β-D-glucuronide, 6-O-(E)-p-coumaroyl-β-D-fructofuranosyl-(2→1)-α-D-glucopyranoside, aempferol-7-rhamnoside, chlorogenic acid, and apigenin. The metabolites are p-hydroxycinnamic acid, p-hydroxyphenylpropionic acid, isorhamnetin, kaempferol-3-O-glucoside, acetyl caffeic acid, and quercetin sulfate. Conclusion The method of HPLC-Q/TOF MS/MS is simple and rapid for the analysis of prototype components and metabolites in rats urine after oral administration of ethanol extract of C. chinensis, providing the basis for further clarification of the estrogen material basis of C. chinensis.
