Methods The plasma samples were treatedwith acetonitrile and analyzed by HPLC with UV detection at 244 nm. Results The limit of detectionwas 100 ng·mL^(-1) for germacrone in plasma and the linear range was 0.1004-15.06 μg·mL^(-1) inplasma. The RSD of intra-day and inter-day assay was 1.87% - 4.29% and 1.29% -5.15%, respectively.The recoveries of germacrone were over 95%. The endogenous substances in plasma did not show anyinterference in the analysis. Conclusion The method is accurate and convenient, and suitable forpharmacokinetic studies of germacrone in rats.展开更多
