Simultaneously enantiospecific determination of (+)-trans-khellactone, (+/-)-praeruptorin A, (+/-)-praeruptorin B, (+)-praeruptorin E, and their metabolites, (+/-)-cis-khellactone, in rat plasma using online solid phase extraction-chiral LC-MS/MS.

    Many chiral drugs are used as the racemic mixtures in clinical practice. The occurrence of enantioselectively pharmacological activities calls for the development of enantiospecific analytical approaches during pharmacokinetic studies of enantiomers. Sample preparation plays a key role during quantitative analysis of biological samples. In current study, a rapid and reliable online solid phase extraction-chiral high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (online SPE-chiral LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneously enantiospecific quantitation of (+)-trans-khellactone (dTK), (+/-)-cis-khellactone (d/lCK), (+/-)-praeruptorin A (d/lPA), (+/-)-praeruptorin B (d/lPB) and (+)-praeruptorin E (dPE), the main active angular-type pyranocoumarins (APs) in Peucedani Radix (Chinese name: Qian-hu) or the major metabolites of those APs, in rat plasma. The validation assay results described here show good selectivity and enantiospecificity, extraction efficiency, accuracy and precision with quantification limits (LOQs) of 2.57, 1.28, 1.28, 1.88, 4.16, 4.16 and 4.18ngmL(-1) for dTK, lCK, dCK, dPA, dPB, lPB and dPE, respectively, while lPA was not detected in rat plasma due to the carboxylesterase(s)-mediated hydrolysis. In addition, the validated system was satisfactorily applied to characterize the pharmacokinetic properties of those components in normal and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) rats following oral administration of Qian-hu extract. dCK and lCK were observed as the main herb-related compounds in plasma. Enantioselectively pharmacokinetic profiles occurred for dCK vs lCK, dPA vs lPA, and dPB vs lPB in either normal or COPD rats. The proposed whole system is expected to be a preferable analytical tool for in vivo study of chiral drugs, in particular for the characterization of enantioselectively pharmacokinetic profiles.

    Peucedani Radix is a Chinese medicinal herb noted for its effects on treatments of respiratory and pulmonary disorders. As a part of a systematic pharmacokinetic evaluation of the herb in our laboratory, the present study investigated, for the first time, the metabolic profile of (+)-praeruptorin B (dPB) and (+)-praeruptorin E (dPE), two main bioactive constituents of Peucedani Radix in pooled liver microsomes of rats (RLMs) and humans (HLMs). dPE was eliminated faster than dPB in both species. The incubation of dPB with RLMs and HLMs resulted in eight (B1-B8) and nine (B1-B9) metabolites, respectively, while both RLMs and HLMs converted dPE into 13 metabolites (E1-13). Structures of all the metabolites were proposed through comparing their mass data obtained via tandem mass spectrometry on an MSD ion trap system (IT-MS/MS) coupled with high-resolution mass measurement by time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) with those of the respective parent compound. B1 and E1 were unambiguously identified as (-)-cis-khellactone. The formations of all the metabolites were NADPH-dependent. Oxidation and hydrolysis were demonstrated to be two predominant metabolic pathways of dPB and dPE. Oxidation initiated at either the C-3' or C-4' substituent, while hydrolysis only started from the C-3' substituent. Fragmentation of all metabolites followed similar pathways to those of the parent pyranocoumarins. The information on metabolic properties of dPB and dPE and the mass fragmentation profiles of their metabolites obtained in the present study will aid in characterization of metabolic profiles of other angular-type pyranocoumarins and further investigation of in vivo fates of these pyranocoumarins and the herb.
