To characterize of the constituents in rat urine after oral administration of Radix Astragali decoction, a HPLC-DAD-MS/MS technique had been developed. Urine collected from 0 to 24 h, after administration, was purified using a C18 solid-phase extraction cartridge, and then detected by an on-line MS/MS detector. By comparing the retention times and MS/MS data with those obtained from authentic compounds and the published data, a total of 11 compounds including six flavonoids, one dipeptide, one triterpenoid and three of their metabolites in urine were identified. Compounds daidzein, genistein, quercetin, L-asparamide-D-phenylalanine, 4,2′,4′-trihydroxychalcone, Astragaloside-IV, daidzein sulfate, and kaempferol sulfate were for the first time detected by HPLC-MS/MS technique in urine. The present research results success-fully narrowed the range of effective constituents to be found in Astragalus membranaceus and would be useful for the following action mechanism research of this traditional Chinese medicine in treating various diseases.
