HIGH-SENSITIVITY METHOD FOR MEASURING NUMBER OF COMPONENTS RECOVERED FROM MEDICINAL HERBS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01N30/88 G01N30/06 G01N30/72 G01N33/48 

FIELD: medicine, pharmaceutics.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to a high-sensitivity method for measuring the amount of individual's blood plasma glycyrrhizin, glycyrrhetinic acid and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The high-sensitivity method for measuring the amount of glycyrrhizin, glycyrrhetinic acid and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts is characterised by the fact that a mixture of individual's blood plasma with methanol or ammonia water in the specific concentration is introduced into a solid phase having the reverse-phase distribution function and the anion exchange function; the solid phase is then washed with a cleaning fluid that is a single-component fluid or a mixed fluid of at least two components specified in a group containing water, alkali, alcohol and acetonitrile. That is followed by elution from the solid phase in acid alcohol specified in formic acid - methanol or formic acid - ethanol; that is followed by the stage of measuring glycyrrhizin, glycyrrhetinic acid and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts by liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry or liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry.

EFFECT: high-sensitivity method enables detecting and measuring the amounts of individual's blood plasma glycyrrhizin, glycyrrhetinic acid and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
