A sensitive, specific and rapid LC-MS method was developed and validated for the determination of salvianolic acid D (SAlD) in rat plasma. This method used a single quadrupole mass spectrometer with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source. A single ion monitoring scanning (SIM) mode was employed. it showed good linearity over the concentration range from 3.3 to 666.7 ngfint. for the determination of Sala The R.S.D.% of intra-day and inter-day precision values were no more than 7.69%, and the accuracy was within 91%-104% at all quality control Levels. This LC MS method was applied to the pharmacokinetic study of SaID in rats. A two-compartmental model analysis was employed. The plasma concentrations at 2 mm (C-2min) were 5756.06 +/- 719.61, 11,073.01 +/- 1783.46 and 21,077.58 +/- 5581.97 nit, for 0.25, 0.5 and I mg/kg intravenous injection, respectively. The peak plastna concentration (C-max) was 333.08 +/- 61.21 pg/L for 4 mg/kg oral administration. The area under curve (AUC(0-t)) was 14,384.379 +/- 8443.t84. 22,813.369 +/- 11,860.823, 46,406.122 +/- 27,592.645 and 8201.740+4711.961 mu g/L.h for intravenous injection (0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg/kg) and oral administration (4 mg/kg), respectively. The bioavailability of SalD) was calculated to be 4.159% +/- 0.517%. (C) 2015 Chinese Pharmaceutical Association and Institute of Materia IMedica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.
