Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate the in vivo pharmacokinetics of strychnos alkaloids [brucine, total alkaloids in Strychni Semen (TASS), and optimal total alkaloids in Strychni Semen (OTASS)] by ig administration to rats. Methods: The rats were ig administered with strychnos alkaloids and their blood samples were taken. Huperzine A was used as an internal standard. The brucine in plasma of rats was detected by HPLC method. The compartment model was fitted and the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS1.0 program. Results: The pharmacokinetic analysis showed that brucine behaved as a two-compartment model in the three solutions after ig administration in rats. Compared with brucine monomer administration, the solution of TASS and OTASS could obviously increase the absorption of brucine in vivo, but other pharmacokinetic parameters had no significant difference. Conclusion: After ig administration with strychnos alkaloids, the other alkaloids in Strychni Semen could promote the absorption of brucine.
