Simultaneous determination of 11 components in Hongwushen capsules by UPLC-MS/MS
Objective:To establish an UPLC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of 11 components(caffeic acid,afzelin,gallic acid,neochlorogenic acid,chlorogenic acid,cryptochlorogenic acid,salidroside,eleuth-eroside B,ginsenoside Re,ginsenoside Rg1,ginsenoside Rd)in Hongwushen capsules.Methods:A Shim-pack GIST C18 chromatographic column(100 mm ×2.1 mm,2 μm)was used.The mobile phase was composed of ace-tonitrile-0.1%acetic acid-1 mmol·L-1 ammonium acetate aqueous solution and the gradient elution was ap-plied.The flow rate was 0.3 mL·min-1,the column temperature was 30 ℃,and the injection volume was 1μL.Electrospray ionization(ESI)source and multiple reaction monitoring(MRM)mode in both positive and negative were used for ion detections.Results:The linear relationship of 11 components was good in the concen-tration range,and the linear correlation coefficients were all above 0.999 0.The RSD values of precision were less than 3%.The repeatability and stability were good,and the RSD values were less than 5%.The average recover-ies were in the range of 97.1%-101.5%with RSDs≤3.7%.The contents of caffeic acid,afzelin,gallic acid,neochlorogenic acid,chlorogenic acid,cryptochlorogenic acid,salidroside,eleutheroside B,ginsenoside Re,gin-senoside Rg1 and ginsenoside Rd in 10 batches of Hongwushen capsules were 0.010-0.013 mg·g-1,0.000 7-0.001 4 mg·g-1,0.035-0.038 mg·g-1,0.312-0.315 mg·g-1,0.413-0.417 mg·g-1,0.411-0.416 mg·g-1,4.355-4.358 mg·g-1,0.030-0.032 mg·g-1,0.993-0.999 mg·g-1,1.120-1.124 mg·g-1 and 2.536-2.538 mg·g-1,respectively.Conclusions:The method is accurate,sensitive,stable and reproduci-ble,and can be used for the quality control of Hongwushen capsules.
