Gastrodin is a pharmacologically active substance isolated from Gastrodia elata Blume with sedation, anti-convulsion and anti-epilepsy activities. A rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography technique coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) system was developed to determine gastrodin and its metabolite p-hydroxybenzyl

In this report, a high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometric (HPLC-MS) method was used to determine gastrodin (GAS) and p-hydroxybenzylalcohol (HBA) in rat plasma after oral administration of Gastrodia elata Bl. (Chinese name: Tianma) extract. Up to 200 microl of
