The objective of this study is to determine the reproductive toxicity test of BaoFuKang suppository in SD rats as well as its toxicokinetic profile using LC-MS/MS. Assessment of reproductive toxicity and toxicokinetic profile of BaoFuKang suppository to SD rats and its offspring was used to investigate if it presents with the risk of accumulation and whether it could across the blood-testis barrier, placental barrier and blood-milk barrier. In our study, SD rats were treated with vehicle group, positive control group, gastric lavage group, low, middle, and high dose group of BaoFuKang suppository once daily by vaginal suppository to explore reproductive toxicity test, and the satellite groups were used in the toxicokinetic profile. Blood samples were collected after the first dose and the last dose to analyze the plasma concentration. In addition, seminal plasma, testicular tissue, and sperm quality should be determined in the study of fertility and early embryo developmental toxicity test in order to investigate whether curdione could cross the blood-testis barrier or not. Maternal plasma, amniotic fluid, placental plasma, placental tissue, fetal tissue and so on should be detected in the study of embryo-fetus developmental toxicity test in order to investigate whether it could cross placental barrier. Maternal plasma, milk, and offspring tissue should be tested in the study of perinatal toxicity test in order to investigate whether it could cross blood-milk barrier. Based on the bioanalytical results, curdione could be accumulated in SD rats and fetus tissue to some extent when the dose reached toxic level, probably resulting in unexpected outcomes to both parent body and the fetus because of transference through the placental barrier, placental barrier and blood-milk barrier system.
