Abstract Heart Failure (HF) has been one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Though its latent mechanism and therapeutic manipulation are updated and developed ceaselessly, there remain great gaps in the cognition of heart failure. High morbidity and readmission rates among HF patients are waiting to be addressed. Recent studies have found that myocardial energy metabolism was closely related to heart failure, in which substrate utilization, as well as intermediate metabolism disorders, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction, might underlie systolic dysfunction and progression of HF. This article centers on the changes and counteraction of cardiac energy metabolism in the failing heart. Therefore, targeting impaired energy provision is of great potential in the treatment of HF. And shifting the objective from traditional neurohormones to improving the cellular environment is expected to further optimize the management of HF.

O objetivo do estudo foi desenvolver um método simples e específico de HPLC para a determinação simultânea de hesperidina (HP), ácido caféico (CA), ácido ferúlico (FA) e ácido p-cumárico (p-CA) em plasma de rato após a administração intravenosa de extrato Portulaca oleracea L. (POE) empregando hyperosídeo como padrão interno de referência. Metanol foi empregado para os analitos em plasma (0,2 mL). A fase móvel isocrática foi composta por metanol-acetonitrila-tetraidrofurano-0,5% ácido acético glacial (5:3:18:74, v/v/v/v). Curvas de calibração foram lineares na faixa de concentração de 0,1-25 µg mL-1, 0,1-25 µg mL-1, 0,1-25 µg mL-1 e 0,015-3 µg mL-1 para HP, CA, FA e p-CA, respectivamente. O método desenvolvido foi adequado para estudo farmacocinético de HP, CA, FA e p-CA em ratos após a administração intravenosa de POE.

The objective of the present study was to develop a simple and selective HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of hesperidin (HP), caffeic acid (CA), ferulic acid (FA) and p-coumaric acid (p-CA) in rat plasma after intravenous administration of Portulaca oleracea L. extract (POE). With the hyperoside as the internal standard, the sample pretreatment procedure involved simple single-step extraction with methanol of 0.2 mL plasma. The mobile phase consisted of methanol-acetonitrile-tetrahydrofuran-0.5% glacial acetic acid (5:3:18:74, v/v/v/v). The calibration curves were linear over the range of 0.1-25 µg mL-1, 0.1-25 µg mL-1, 0.1-25 µg mL-1and 0.015-3 µg mL-1 for HP, CA, FA and p-CA, respectively. The method developed was suitable for the pharmacokinetic study of HP, CA, FA and p-CA in rats after intravenous administration of POE.
