In this study, a rapid and selective ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/ Q-TOF-MS) method was developed and validated to quantify poliumoside in rat plasma. The targeted analytes in rat plasma were prepared through protein-precipitation method using 10% trichloroacetic acid (TCA). The chromatographic separation was performed on a Waters BEH C18 column (2.1 ¡Á 100 mm, 1.7 ¦Ìm) by acetonitrile-water containing 0.1% formic acid. The calibration curve was linear over the range of 50 - 10,000 ng/mL (r2 > 0.99). The intra-day or inter-day precision was less than 7.97% and accuracy was within ?7.00% - 3.36%. The developed method was successfully applied to pharmacokinetic study of poliumoside in rat plasma. Although being rapidly absorbed (Tmax ¡Ü 30 min), poliumoside was poorly bioavailable after oral administration (the absolute bioavailability was only 0.69%). %K Poliumoside %K UPLC/Q-TOF-MS %K Rat Plasma %K Pharmacokinetics %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=64530
