Abstract

Scutellarin is released from the prodrug Scu-PEG after i.v. administration to rats. To investigate changes in the amount of the prodrug in vivo, a liquid chromatographic method for simultaneous analysis of Scu-PEG and scutellarin in rat plasma was developed and validated. A C18 column was used with a binary mobile phase gradient prepared from acetonitrile and 0.3% aqueous formic acid solution. The detection wavelength was 334 nm and the column temperature 40 °C. Linearity was excellent, with R 2 no less than 0.999. Intra-assay and inter-assay precision, as RSD, were less than 6.4 and 4.7%, respectively, for scutellarin and less than 2.8 and 2.9% for Scu-PEG. The method is applicable to pharmacokinetic study the prodrug and its metabolite in rats after i.v. administration.
