OBJECTIVE: To analyze and identify the metabolites of tuberostemonine in rats plasma,urine and feces,and to clarify metabolic pathway of tuberostemonine. METHODS: Rats were randomly divided into blank group (0.3% carboxymethyl cellulose) and medication group (tuberostemonine 50 mg/kg,i.g.),with 6 rats in each group. The plasma of rats was collected 0.25,0.5,1,2,4,6,12 h after intragastric administration to prepare samples. Urine and feces were collected 0-12 h and 12-24 h after administration to prepare samples. UPLC-Q-TOF/MS and software of Triple TOFTM high resolution mass spectrometry were used to analyze and identifiy chemical structure of metabolites in samples. RESULTS: A total of 4 compounds were detected in rat plasma,including one prototype compound and 3 metabolites. 4 metabolites were detected in urine and 2 metabolites in feces. Phase Ⅰ metabolites of tuberostemonine mainly included hydration and hydroxylation. Phase Ⅱ metabolites were not found. CONCLUSIONS: Hydration and hydroxylation are the major metabolic transformation forms of tuberostemonine in rats in vivo.
