Abstract

Ultra-fast performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry( UFLC-MS/MS) was used to study the anti-inflammatory active ingredient of Millettia pachyloba,6-methoxy-8,8-dimethyl-3-( 2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-4 H,8 H-pyrano[2,3-f]chromen-4-one( HN-1),in liver microsomes of rats,mice,rhesus monkeys,Beagle dogs and humans metabolic stability,and compare the metabolic differences between different species. The metabolic phenotype in human liver microsomes was determined by chemical inhibitor method. Using UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS detection method,the in vitro metabolites of various liver microsomes were preliminarily inferred by comparing the samples incubated for 0 min and 60 min in vitro. The metabolites of HN-1 in SD rats were presumed by comparing feces,urine,plasma blanks and samples after administration. The results showed that the metabolism of HN-1 in various liver microsomes was stable,and the metabolic properties of dog and human liver microsomes were the closest. It is mainly catabolized by CYP1 A1,CYP2 D6 and CYP3 A4 isoenzymes in human liver microsomes. The metabolites of HN-1 in vitro and in vivo,including 3 in vitro metabolites and5 in vivo metabolites,were preliminarily estimated. The results laid the foundation for further pharmacological studies of HN-1.

Keywords: Millettia pachyloba; liver microsomes; metabolic stability; metabolites.
