Analysis of Plasma Migration Components in Patrinia villosa (Thunb.) Juss. Effective Parts By UPLC-Q-TOF-MS.

Patrinia villosa (Thunb.) Juss. (PVJ) is described as pungent, bitter and slightly cold in Chinese medicine, and is associated with the large intestine, stomach and liver meridians. The preliminary experiments of our research team proved that PVJ total flavonoids have excellent inhibitory effects on liver cancer cells. And, the present experiment use the UPLC-Q-TOF-MS technology and serum pharmacochemistry methods to analyze the chemical components in vitro and in vivo of PVJ anti-liver tumors. The results show that a total of 14 chemical components are identified in the total flavonoids extract of PVJ, and it is mainly composed of flavonoids, flavonones, flavonols and phenolic acids. At the same time, 7 prototypical components and 7 metabolic components are detected in the drug-containing plasma. Hydrocaffeate and scutellarein are the phase I metabolites of caffeic acid and scutellarin, respectively. Sulfated apigenin, sulfated luteolin, sulfated kaempferol, and methylated kaempferol are the II phase metabolites of apigenin, luteolin, kaempferol, respectively. The experiment provides a reference for the research and development of anti-tumor drug candidates, and provides a basis for revealing the bioactive components of PVJ and anti-tumor mechanism.
