Study on the fingerprint of classic famous prescription Maimendong Decoction and simultaneous determination of multi-components
Objective To establish the fingerprint of the benchmark sample of Maimendong decoction by chemical pattern recognition and establish a multi-index component content determination method.Methods Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-evaporative light scattering detector(UPLC-ELSD)and UPLC-diode array detector(PDA)were used to establish the fingerprint of Maimendong decoction,the common peak assignment was clarified,and chemical pattern recognition was carried out by similarity analysis,cluster analysis,principal component analysis,orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis,etc.The content of 10 index components in the samples was determined.Results Two sets of fingerprint methods were established for the reference samples of Maimendong decoction,with similarity greater than 0.90.24 common peaks were calibrated,which were from Maidong,Licorice,and Ginseng in the formula.The chemical pattern recognition method divided 20 batches of samples into 5 categories and selected 5 key components that affected the quality differences of benchmark samples from different batches.The±30%ranges of the average content of methylophiopogonanone A and methylophiopogonanone B,ophiopogonin D and ophiopojaponin C;borneol 7-O-[β-D-apiofuranosyl-(1→6)]-β-D-glucopyranoside,ginsenoside Rg1 and ginsenoside Re,ginsenoside Rb1,liquiritin,glycyrrhizicacidis were 0.001%-0.003%,0.002%-0.004%,0.003%-0.005%,0.04%-0.08%,0.02%-0.03%,0.08%-0.16%,and 0.06%-0.11%,respectively.Conclusion The establishment of a scientific,accurate and stable method for the quality analysis of benchmark samples of Maimendong decoction can provide a basis for the development,research and quality control of related preparations of the classic famous Maimendong decoction.
