This paper describes a rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the determination of the concentration of tanshinone I in rat plasma, and applies the method to pharmacokinetic study. The plasma is deproteinized with acetonitrile containing an internal standard (estradiolbenzoate). The HPLC assay is carried out using a Cosmosil C18 column. The mobile phase is acetonitrile, 0.05 mol/L −1  ammonium acetate buffer with 1% acetic acid (66:34, v/v). The flow rate is 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength is set at 263 nm. The assay accuracy is better than 92%, and the precision of tanshinone I at low to high concentrations is better than 9% and 11% for intra-day and inter-day assays, respectively. The recovery of the method exceeds 88.3% for tanshinone I. The assay shows good linearity ( r  = 0.9998) over a relatively wide concentration range from 0.05 to 10.0 µg/mL. The method is used to determine the concentration-time profiles of tanshinone I in plasma following an intravenous injection of tanshinone I solution, and the pharmacokinetic parameters of tanshinone I are calculated for the first time by the Drug and Statistics 1.0 program. This assay is successfully applied to the determination of tanshinone I in rat plasma, and the developed method is applied to pharmacokinetic studies for the first time.
