Identification and pharmacokinetics of saponins in Rhizoma Anemarrhenae after oral administration to rats by HPLC- Q-TOF/MS and HPLC-MS/MS

Hai-Qiao Wang et al.

Summary: The study identified 25 compounds in the extract of Rhizoma Anemarrhenae and detected 8 saponins in rat plasma, indicating slow excretion and low oral bioavailability. A sensitive and accurate HPLC-MS/MS method was applied for a pharmacokinetic study, providing support for further clinical research.
