Abstract:
AimTo investigate the pharmacokinetics of osthole in rabbits and obtain the main pharmacokinetic parameters. MethodsA simple high-performance 1iquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed to study the pharmacokinetics of osthole in rabbits by joining an internal standard (paeonal). Methanol-water (80∶20) was used as the mobile phase. According to the 3P87 pharmacokinetic program, the main parameters were calculated. ResultsThe osthole pharmacokinetics conforms to a two compartment open model after iv administration,
T1/2α=5.81 min,
T1/2β=42.2 min,
K21=0.036 0·min
