A validated method for the quantitation of trace levels of quercetin from human plasma to be used in pharmacokinetic and biomarker studies is presented. Quercetin conjugates were hydrolysed enzymatically, plasma proteins were removed using a Bond Elut C18 extraction column and additional interferences were removed by extracting them into a toluene-dichloromethane mixture. The HPLC system consisted of an Inertsil ODS-3 column (250 x 4.0 mm) and a mobile phase with 59% methanol in phosphate buffer (pH 2.4). High selectivity and a low quantitation limit (0.63 microg/l) were achieved by using electrochemical detection at a low potential. The method has excellent reproducibility: R.S.D. values of peak-heights were 2% and 7.9%, respectively, for within-day and between-day precision. The method was applied to a small scale study of quercetin pharmacokinetics and quercetin was shown to be absorbed from a 20 mg dose. No free quercetin was detected in plasma and no evidence of significant amounts of quercetin glycosides in plasma was found.

D006027 Glycosides Any compound that contains a constituent sugar, in which the hydroxyl group attached to the first carbon is substituted by an alcoholic, phenolic, or other group. They are named specifically for the sugar contained, such as glucoside (glucose), pentoside (pentose), fructoside (fructose), etc. Upon hydrolysis, a sugar and nonsugar component (aglycone) are formed.

D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.
