Glycyrrhetinic acid was used as the internal standard(IS). Chromatographic separation was accomplished on an Inertsil ODS-3 column, using a gradient elution with the mobile phase composed of acetonitrile and water acidified with 0.1%(V/V) formic acid. Detection was achieved by ESI-MS under the negative selected ion monitoring(SIM) mode. In normal and CIA rats, madecassoside(30 mg·kg-1) was orally administered for 21 consecutive days from the day of arthritis onset. For madecassoside, the linear range was 10–1 000 ng·mL-1 with the square regression coefficient(r) of 0.998 9, while for madecassic acid, the linear range was 10–500 ng·mL-1 with the square regression coefficient(r) of 0.996 1. The lower limit of quantification was 10 ng·mL-1 for both analytes. The intra- and inter-day precision ranged from 1.78% to 13.42% for madecassoside and 2.30% to 14.90% for madecassic acid, and the accuracy was between –0.95% and 6.30% for madecassoside and between –1.48% and 5.34% for madecassic acid. The average recoveries of madecassoside, madecassic acid and IS from spiked plasma samples were > 81%. The developed method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of madecassoside and madecassic acid in rats after an oral administration of madecassoside. During initial 7 days of dosing, the cmax and AUC of madecassoside were greatly decreased and Vd/F was markedly increased in CIA rats, and no significant difference was observed on the first day of dosing. In contrast, the T1/2, cmax and AUC of madecassic acid were significantly increased, and Ke of madecassic acid was greatly decreased in CIA rats compared with normal rats.
