The aim of the present study was to establish a simple, rapid, and sensitive RP-HPLC method for determination of bergenin in rat plasma and compare its oral pharmacokinetic behaviors in normal and CCl_4-induced hepatic injury rats. With norisoboldine as an internal standard, chromatographic separation was performed on a C_(18) analytical column with acetonitrile and water(11 : 89, V/V) containing 0.1% formic acid as the mobile phase. A good linearity was obtained over the range of 100^(–1)0 000 ng·m L^(–1). The lower limit of quantification was 50 ng·m L~(^(–1)). The developed method was successfully applied to a study of the pharmacokinetic difference of bergenin(100 mg·kg^(–1)) between normal and hepatic injury rats after oral administration. Marked alterations of pharmacokinetic parameters in hepatic injury rats were observed. Compared to normal rats, the AUC_((0–∞)) of bergenin in hepatic injury rats was elevated to 2.11-fold and C_(max) was increased by 130%, whereas CL value was only 55% of the normal rats, suggesting that the systemic exposure of bergenin was significantly increased under hepatic injury status.展开更多
