Polygoni Multiflori Radix, He-Shou-Wu in Chinese, is a widely used traditional Chinese medicine. Clinically, water decoction is the major application form of He-Shou-Wu. Therefore, simultaneous determination of bioactive compounds in water extract is very important for its quality control.
A pressurized liquid extraction and short-end injection micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) were first developed for simultaneous determination of seven hydrophilic bioactive compounds in water extract of He-Shou-Wu. The influence of parameters, such as pH, concentration of phosphate, SDS and HP-β-CD, capillary temperature and applied voltage, on the analysis were carefully investigated. Optimum separation was obtained within 14 min by using 50 mM phosphate buffer containing 90 mM SDS and 2% (m/v) HP-β-CD (pH 2.5) at 15 kV and 20°C. All calibration curves showed good linearity (R2>0.9978) within test ranges. The overall LOD and LOQ were lower than 2.0 μg/mL and 5.5 μg/mL, respectively. The RSDs for intra- and inter-day of seven analytes were less than 3.2% and 4.6%, and the recoveries were 97.0%-104.2%.
The validated method was successfully applied to the analysis of He-Shou-Wu samples, which is helpful for its quality control.
何首乌是一种广泛应用的传统中药。临床上,水煎剂是何首乌的主要应用剂型。因此,同时测定水提取物中的生物活性成分对其质量控制非常重要。
首次建立了加压液体萃取-短端进样胶束电动毛细管色谱法(MEKC),用于同时测定何首乌水提取物中的七种亲水性生物活性成分。仔细研究了pH、磷酸盐浓度、十二烷基硫酸钠(SDS)和羟丙基-β-环糊精(HP-β-CD)浓度、毛细管温度和施加电压等参数对分析的影响。在15 kV和20℃条件下,使用含90 mM SDS和2%(m/v)HP-β-CD(pH 2.5)的50 mM磷酸盐缓冲液,14分钟内实现了最佳分离。所有校准曲线在测试范围内均显示出良好的线性(R2>0.9978)。总体检测限(LOD)和定量限(LOQ)分别低于2.0 μg/mL和5.5 μg/mL。七种分析物日内和日间的相对标准偏差(RSD)均小于3.2%和4.6%,回收率为97.0%-104.2%。
该验证方法成功应用于何首乌样品的分析,有助于其质量控制。
