Simultaneous determination of nine effective components in Solidaginis Herba by QAMS
Objective:To establish a quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker(QAMS)method for the simultaneous determination of nine effective components including phenolic acids and flavonoids(neochlorogenic acid,chlorogenic acid,cryptochlorogenic acid,rutoside,isoquercitrin,kaemperol-3-O-ruti-noside,3,4-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid,3,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid,4,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid),in Solidaginis Herba.Methods:Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography was developed on an ACQUITY UPLC ® HSS T3(100 mm ×2.1 mm,1.8 μm)column with acetonitrile(A)-0.1%phosphoric acid solution(B)as mobile phase in gradient elution.The flow rate was 0.3 mL·min-1,the detection wavelength was 327 nm,the column temperature was 30 ℃,and the injection volume was 1 μL.Chlorogenic acid and rutoside were chosen as the internal standards for phenolic acids and flavonoids respectively to establish the determine cor-rection factors of neochlorogenic acid,cryptochlorogenic acid,3,4-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid,3,5-O-dicaf-feoylquinic acid,4,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid isoquercitrin and kaemperol-3-O-rutinoside,respectively,by multi-point correction method and their contents were calculated.The results were compared with the results of external standard method to verify their accuracy.Results:Nine components showed good linear relationships within their own ranges(r ≥0.999 5),whose average recoveries were 98.2%-101.7%with the RSDs of 1.0%-1.7%.The contents of neochlorogenic acid,chlorogenic acid,cryptochlorogenic acid,rutoside,isoquercitrin,kaemperol-3-O-rutinoside,3,4-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid,3,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid and 4,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid,in nine batches of samples were 0.008%-0.014%,0.055%-0.097%,0.010%-0.019%,0.191%-0.412%,0.018%-0.035%,0.116%-0.50%,0.028%-0.048%,0.111%-0.235%and 0.113%-0.182%.The results obtained by QAMS were consistent with those of external standard method(relative average deviations less than 2.8%).Conclusion:The simple,accurate and reproducible method can be used for the quality control of Solidaginis Herba.
