Analysis of isoflavones and flavonoids in human urine by UHPLC.

ABSTRACT: A rapid, ultra high-performance liquid chromatographic (UHPLC) method has been developed and validated for simultaneous identification and analysis of the isoflavones genistein, daidzein, glycitin, puerarin, and biochanin A, and the flavonoids (±)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin, rutin, hesperidin, neohesperidin, quercitrin, and hesperetin in human urine. Urine samples were incubated with ?-glucuronidase/sulfatase. UHPLC was performed with a Hypersil Gold (50 × 2.1 mm, 1.9 ?m) analytical column. Elution was with a gradient prepared from aqueous trifluoroacetic acid (0.05%) and acetonitrile. UV detection was performed at 254 and 280 nm. The calibration curves were indicative of good linearity (r(2) ? 0.9992) in the range of interest for each analyte. LODs ranged between 15.4 and 107.0 ng mL(-1) and 3.9 and 20.4 ng mL(-1) for flavonoids and isoflavones, respectively. Intra-day and inter-day precision (C.V., %) was less than 3.9% and 3.8%, respectively, and accuracy was between 0.03% and 5.0%. Recovery was 70.35-96.58%. The method is very rapid, simple, and reliable, and suitable for pharmacokinetic analysis. It can be routinely used for simultaneous determination of these five isoflavones and seven flavonoids in human urine. The method can also be applied to studies after administration of pharmaceutical preparations containing isoflavones and flavonoids to humans.

Project description:BackgroundGlucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is a common form of secondary osteoporosis caused by the protracted or a large dosage of glucocorticoids (GCs). Total flavonoids of Drynariae rhizoma (TFDR) have been widely used in treating postmenopausal osteoporosis (POP). However, their therapeutic effects and potential mechanism against GIOP have not been fully elucidated.MethodsUltra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESIQ-TOF-MS) experiments were performed for qualitative analysis. We performed hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) analysis to detect the changes in bone microstructure. The changes in biochemical parameters in the serum samples were determined by performing an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The prediction results of network pharmacology were verified via quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) to elucidate the potential mechanism of TFDR against GIOP.ResultsA total of 191 ingredients were identified in vitro and 48 ingredients in vivo. In the in-vivo experiment, the levels of the serum total cholesterol (TC), the serum triglyceride (TG), Leptin (LEP), osteocalcin (OC), osteoprotegerin (OPG), bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), propeptide of type I procollagen (PINP), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP) and type-I collagen carboxy-terminal peptide (CTX-1) in the TFDR group significantly changed compared with those in the GIOP group. Moreover, the TFDR group showed an improvement in bone mineral density and bone microstructure. Based on the results of network pharmacology analysis, 67 core targets were selected to construct the network and perform PPI analysis as well as biological enrichment analysis. Five of the targets with high "degree value" had differential gene expression between groups using qRT-PCR.ConclusionTFDR, which may play a crucial role between adipose metabolism and bone metabolism, may be a novel remedy for the prevention and clinical treatment of GIOP.
