Urine collection from rats orally treated with UTIRose

In spite we checked all the peaks, we used anthocyanins as first markers of Utirose compounds in the urinary tract pathway, especially :
    cyanidin-3-0-sambudioside (gossypicyanin)
    cyanidin-3-0-glucoside
    delphinidin- 3-0-sambudioside (hibiscin)
    delphinidin- 3-0-glucoside

Conclusion : HPLC of UTIrose™ and urine from rats with single ingestion of UTIrose™ (525 nm): After a single ingestion, UTIrose™ shows a low bioavailability, which means that molecular compounds are eliminated by urinary excretion. UTIrose™ is available in urinary tract where its antimicrobial activity could be efficient.

Because all these molecules are not available as analytical standards, cyanidin-3-0-glucoside is used for quantification and calculation of recovery level of all anthocyanins in the urine of the rat. The first observation is that urines from rats with a single ingestion of Utirose content anthocyanins, whereas urine a blank rat without treatment shows of course no anthocyanins. Compounds of Utirose were recovered in urine in the intact glycosidic form.

After a single oral administration, Utirose quickly appeared in urine (2h). Anthocyanins are used as markers of Utirose compounds.
