Pharmacokinetic Study of Biotransformation Products from an Anxiolytic Fraction of Tilia americana.

ABSTRACT: An anxiolytic fraction of Tilia americana standardized in tiliroside, rutin, quercitrin, quercetin glucoside, and kaempferol was obtained. After oral administration of the fraction, the above-mentioned flavonoids were not detected in plasma over 24 h. However, meta and para hydroxyphenylacetic acid and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (m-HPAA, p-HPAA and DOPAC) were monitored. These are the biotransformation compounds of the aglycones of kaempferol and quercetin; these aglycones are products of the other flavonoids present in the anxiolytic fraction. The analytical methods (HPLC) for flavonoids and the related compounds (m-HPAA, p-HPAA and DOPAC) were validated, determining the parameters of accuracy, precision, specificity or selectivity, limit of detection, quantification range, and robustness
