Abstract:
1,6-O,O-Diacetylbritannilactone is a natural sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Inula britannica that has displayed cytotoxic effects against several human cancer cell lines. In this study, a selective and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) method was developed for determination of 1,6-O,O-diacetylbritannilactone in rat plasma. Chromatographic separation was achieved on an Agilent C18 column (4.6 mm × 75 mm, 3.5 μm) with methanol and water (80:20, v/v) as the mobile phase. An ESI source was applied and operated in positive ion mode; selected-reaction monitoring was used for quantification using target fragment ions m/z 373.2→312.9 for 1,6-O,O-diacetylbritannilactone and m/z 331.2→144.1 for the IS. Calibration plots were linear in the range of 1.5-1350 ng/mL for 1,6-O,O-diacetylbritannilactone in rat plasma. Intra- and inter-day precisions were <8.5%, and the accuracy ranged from -2.7 to 12.8%. The LC-MS-MS method was successfully applied in a pharmacokinetic study of 1,6-O,O-diacetylbritannilactone in rats.

Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...
