Proanthocyanidins (PACs) in areca nut (Areca catechu L.) were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) combined with electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and compared to grape seed extract. Under optimized conditions, the separated PACs were individually analyzed and identified on the basis of their [M+H]+ peaks. The PAC distribution in areca nut was found to be very similar to that in grape seed, but lacking any gallate conjugates. Based on reverse-phase HPLC separation, the PAC monomers (+)-catechin (CA, 1) and (-)-epicatechin (EC; 2) were successfully quantified by ESI-MS in the selected-ion-monitoring (SIM) mode, (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC; 3) being used as internal standard. Detailed quality and validation assays showed that the accuracy and repeatability (n = 8) were within 10% for each analyte.
采用高效液相色谱(HPLC)结合电喷雾电离质谱(ESI-MS)对槟榔(Areca catechu L.)中的原花青素(PACs)进行分析,并与葡萄籽提取物进行比较。在优化条件下,对分离得到的PACs根据其[M+H]+峰进行单独分析和鉴定。结果发现,槟榔中PACs的分布与葡萄籽中的非常相似,但不存在任何没食子酸酯共轭物。基于反相HPLC分离,通过ESI-MS在选择离子监测(SIM)模式下成功定量了PAC单体(+)-儿茶素(CA,1)和(-)-表儿茶素(EC;2),(-)-表没食子儿茶素(EGC;3)用作内标。详细的质量和验证分析表明,每种分析物的准确度和重复性(n = 8)均在10%以内。
