Objective: To investigate metabolic pathway of limonin in rats and its mechanism. Method: Bile
urine and feces of rats were collected after oral administration of limonin with dose of 80 mg·kg-1.HPLC and LC-MS/MS were used to determine the concentration of limonin in bile
urine and feces of rats
then calculated the cumulative excretion and cumulative fractional excretion. Result: Total cumulative fractional excretion of limonin in feces
urine and bile was about 50%
only about half of the drug was excreted in the form of prototype.Limonin excreted from the urine and bile was less than 1%.Most of limonin excluded through feces with prototype. Conclusion: Feces is major excretion pathway of limonin in rats after oral administration
only a small portion of the drug is absorbed into rat plasma.
