Simultaneous assessment of absorption characteristics of coumarins from Angelicae Pubescentis Radix: In vitro transport across Caco-2 cell and in vivo pharmacokinetics in rats after oral administration.[Pubmed:28654868]

J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci. 2017 Aug 15;1060:308-315.

Angelicae Pubescentis Radix (APR), a well-known traditional Chinese medicine, is widely used for the treatments of rheumatism and headache for centuries. To assess the absorption characteristics of coumarins from APR, a sensitive and reliable UPLC-MS/MS method was established for the simultaneous determination of sixteen coumarins from APR, including psoralen, xanthotoxin, bergapten, bergaptol, isoimperatorin, imperatorin, Columbianetin, Columbianetin acetate, columbianadin, oxypeucedanin hydrate, angelol B, umbelliferone, scopoletin, osthole, meranzin hydrate and nodakenetin. The specificity, linearity, sensitivity, precision, accuracy, recovery, matrix effect and stability of the method were all validated to be satisfactory. The method was then applied to the in vitro transport of APR extract (APRE) across human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cell and in vivo pharmacokinetics in rats after oral administration of APRE. All of the tested coumarins were well or moderately absorbed across Caco-2 monolayers, and could be quickly absorbed into rat blood circulation after oral administration. Columbianetin was the most easily absorbed compound across Caco-2 cell, and also had extremely highest plasma concentration in vivo. Excellent correlation between in vitro absorption across Caco-2 cell monolayers and in vivo pharmacokinetics of coumarins from APRE was well verified. The results provided valuable information for the overall absorption characteristics of the coumarins from APR, as well as for its further studies of in vivo active substances in the further.

Simultaneous determination of columbianetin-beta-d-glucopyranoside and columbianetin in a biological sample by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection and identification of other columbianetin-beta-d-glucopyranoside metabolites by ultra high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry.[Pubmed:29506005]

Columbianetin-beta-d-glucopyranoside (CBG) and its metabolite Columbianetin (CBN) are the bioactive constituents of Angelicae pubescentis radix (APR). They exhibit the anti-platelet aggregation, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. The absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) of CBG has not been reported to date. Both high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection and ultra high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry methods were developed and validated for the study of ADME of CBG. It was found that CBG could be catabolized into its active metabolite CBN in vivo. The absolute bioavailability of Columbianetin-beta-d-glucopyranoside was 5.63+/-4.42%. The other co-existing constituents from the APR ethanol extract could enhance the absorption of CBG. CBG and CBN were rapidly and broadly distributed in the stomach, ovary, kidney, liver, spleen, lung, muscles, heart and brain. Higher levels of accumulation of CBG and CBN were detected in the ovary and kidney tissues. Eight metabolites of CBG were tentatively identified in blood, urine, bile and faeces of rats after oral administration of pure CBG. It was also found that CBG and CBN were mainly excreted through the faecal route. It can be concluded that the validated methods were successfully applied for absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion study of CBG.

Distribution Assessments of Coumarins from Angelicae Pubescentis Radix in Rat Cerebrospinal Fluid and Brain by Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry Analysis.[Pubmed:29361720]

Molecules. 2018 Jan 20;23(1). pii: molecules23010225.

Angelicae Pubescentis Radix (APR) is a widely-used traditional Chinese medicine. Pharmacological studies have begun to probe its biological activities on neurological disorders recently. To assess the brain penetration and distribution of APR, a validated ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method was applied to the simultaneous determinations of the main coumarins from APR in the rat cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain after oral administration of APR extract, including psoralen, xanthotoxin, bergapten, isoimperatorin, Columbianetin, Columbianetin acetate, columbianadin, oxypeucedanin hydrate, angelol B, osthole, meranzin hydrate and nodakenetin. Most of the tested coumarins entered the rat CSF and brain quickly, and double-peak phenomena in concentration-time curves were similar to those of their plasma pharmacokinetics. Columbianetin had the highest concentration in the CSF and brain, while psoralen and Columbianetin acetate had the largest percent of CSF/plasma and brain/plasma, indicating that these three coumarins may be worthy of further research on the possible nervous effects. Correlations between the in vivo brain distributions and plasma pharmacokinetics of these coumarins were well verified. These results provided valuable information for the overall in vivo brain distribution characteristics of APR and also for its further studies on the active substances for the central nervous system.

Identification of Nematicidal Constituents of Notopterygium incisum Rhizomes against Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and Meloidogyne incognita.[Pubmed:27669203]

Molecules. 2016 Sep 23;21(10). pii: molecules21101276.

During a screening program for new agrochemicals from Chinese medicinal herbs, the ethanol extract of Notopterygium incisum rhizomes was found to possess strong nematicidal activity against the two species of nematodes, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and Meloidogyne incognita. Based on bioactivity-guided fractionation, the four constituents were isolated from the ethanol extract and identified as Columbianetin, falcarindiol, falcarinol, and isoimperatorin. Among the four isolated constituents, two acetylenic compounds, falcarindiol and falcarinol (2.20-12.60 mug/mL and 1.06-4.96 mug/mL, respectively) exhibited stronger nematicidal activity than two furanocoumarins, Columbianetin, and isoimperatorin (21.83-103.44 mug/mL and 17.21-30.91 mug/mL, respectively) against the two species of nematodes, B. xylophilus and M. incognita. The four isolated constituents also displayed phototoxic activity against the nematodes. The results indicate that the ethanol extract of N. incisum and its four isolated constituents have potential for development into natural nematicides for control of plant-parasitic nematodes.
