Popis: Pharmacokinetics of Astragaloside IV (AGS-IV) in rats was studied by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. The concentration in plasma was determined after i.v. administration of 1, 2, 4 mg/kg and p.o. administration of 20 mg/kg of AGS-IV. The AUC were linearly correlated to doses. Recoveries of AGS-IV in bile, urine and feces were also analyzed following i.v. dose of 2 mg/kg. Cumulative recovery of AGS-IV in bile reached 30.8% in 24h. Cumulative recovery of AGS-IV in urine and feces was 52.14%, which indicates that about 50% of AGS-IV was metabolized in vivo. The bioavailability of AGS-IV after p.o. administration was found to be 3.66%. These findings provide useful information for the research and development of AGS-IV and other potential agents.
