Determination of Taxifolin in Beagle Dogs Plasma by HPLC-MS/MS and Pharmacokinetic Study

A rapid, sensitive and selective method for the determination of taxifolin in Beagle dog plasma was described by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Resveratrol was used as internal standard (I.S.). MS detection and quantitation were done by mass spectrometer using selected reaction monitoring at m/z 303 and 285 M－H^－ for taxifolin, and m/z 227 and 185 M－H^－ for resveratrol. The calibration curve is linear (r＞0.998) from 2 to 1 000 μg L^－1, and the lower limit of quantification(LLOQ) is 2 μg L^－1.
