Objective To investigate the metabolic transformation of berberine and jatrorrhizine in rat liver microsomes, and to provide a reference for the in vitro and in vivo association studies of active constituents in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).Methods The rat liver microsome was prepared, and the enzymatic activity was determined by Brad ford method to prepare the in vitro incubation system of rat liver microsomes.After the incubation in the presence of berberine and jatrorrhizine, mass spectrometry was used to detect and compare the metabolites of berberine and jatrorrhizine.Results After ...
