Determination of ginsenoside content in Asian and North American ginseng raw materials and finished products by high-performance liquid chromatography: single-laboratory validation

A single-laboratory validation study was conducted for the quantification of Rg1, Re, Rb1, Rc, Rb2, and Rd in Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) and North American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) raw materials and finished products by RP-HPLC. The extraction with aqueous methanol was optimized for whole root, powdered extract, and finished product (raw, tablet, and capsule matrixes) test articles. Root materials were treated with base to hydrolyze acidic malonyl ginsenosides to their neutral counterparts. Calibration curves for each ginsenoside were linear over the following ranges (microg/g): 5-394 for Rg1, 15-1188 for Re, 39-2981 for Rb1, 6-499 for Rc, 5-406 for Rb2, and 7-600 for Rd, all having a coefficient of determination (r2) of > or = 99.5%. The LOD for Rg1, Re, Rb1, Rc, Rb2, and Rd was determined to be 1.06, 1.25, 2.19, 1.24, 1.27, and 1.70 microg/mL, respectively. Quantitative determinations performed with eight test materials by two analysts over 3 days (n = 12) resulted in RSDr values that ranged from 1.11 to 7.61%.     

Analysis of Low-polar Ginsenosides in Steamed Panax Ginseng at High-temperature by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS

A high performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry( HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) method was developed for the analysis and identification of ginsenosides in the extracts of raw Panax ginseng(RPG) and steamed Panax ginseng at high temperatures(SPGHT). A total of 25 ginsenosides were extracted include of which 10 low-polar ginsenosides, such as ginsenosides F4, Rk3, Rh4, 20S-Rg3, 20R-Rg3 and so on, were identified according to their HPLC retention time and MS/MS data. The results indicated that the low polar ginsenosides were seldom found in RPG. For the exploration of the transformation pattern of the ginsenosides in steam processing, the standards of ginsenosides Re, Rg1, Rb1, Rc, Rb2, Rb3 and Rd were selected and hydrolyzed at a temperature of 120 ℃. The results show that these polar ginsenosides can be converted to low-polar ginsenosides such as Rg2, Rg6, F4, Rk3 and Rg5 by hydrolyzing the sugar chains.

Determination of Seven Major Ginsenosides in Different Parts of Panax quinquefolius L.(American Ginseng) with Different Ages

Ginsenosides Rg1,Re,Rb1,Rc,Rb2,Rb3,and Rd in different parts of the American ginseng plant were investigated.The extraction process was a pressurized microwave-assisted extraction(PMAE).The seven ginsenosides were separated and determined by high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) with a ultraviolet(UV) detector,at 203 nm.The experiment results showed significant variations in the individual ginsenoside contents of the American ginseng in different parts and ages of the plant.The results demonstrated that the leaves,root hairs,and rhizomes of Panax quinquefolius L.contained higher ginsenoside contents,followed by the main roots and stems.The leaves contained dramatically higher levels of ginsenoside Rg1,Rb3,and Rd than the other four parts.Higher contents of Rb1 and Re were present in the main roots,root hairs,and rhizomes.The amount of ginsenoside content in the stems was the lowest.The total content of the seven ginsenosides in main roots,root hairs and rhizomes increased with the age of the plant.In contrast,the ginsenoside contents in the leaves and stems decreased with a year of growth.     

Chemical characteristics of three medicinal plants of the Panax genus determined by HPLC-ELSD

The morphological appearance and main ingredients of three Chinese medicines (CMs), P. ginseng, P. quinquefolius, and P. notoginseng of the Panax genus, are similar. However, their pharmacological activities are obviously different. To ensure their safety and efficacy, chemical characteristics of the three CMs were determined using pressurized liquid extraction and HPLC-evaporative light scattering detection. Twelve major saponins, namely notoginsenoside R1, pseudo-ginsenoside F11, ginsenosides Rg1, Re, Rf, Rb1, Rg2, Rc, Rb2, Rb3, Rd, and Rg3 were also quantitatively compared among the three CMs. The contents of total investigated saponins varied considerably, by up to 4-14-fold, between the highest (P. notoginseng, 82.8-136.5 mg/g) and the lowest values (P. ginseng, 10.0-21.1 mg/g). Hierarchical clustering analysis based on the characteristics of 11 investigated saponins (except ginsenoside Rb3) and notoginsenoside R1, pseudo-ginsenoside F11, and the ratio of ginsenoside Rg1/Rb1 and Rg1/Re showed that 56 tested samples were divided into three main clusters in accordance with the three Panax species. Similarity evaluation of chromatograms was also performed using "Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Version 2004A)". The results showed that a high degree of similarity existed within individual clusters, but a low degree between the clusters, which could be used for quality control of the three CMs.     

Simultaneous quantification of Panax and Epimedium species using Rapid Resolution Liquid Chromatography (RRLC)

Two Rapid Resolution Liquid Chromatography (RRLC) methods have been developed and validated for simultaneous quantification of eight major ginsenosides from Panax species, namely, R1, Rg1, Re, Rf, Rb1, Rb2, Rc, and Rd, and flavonoids from Epimedium species, namely, epimedins A, B, and C and icariin. The analyses were performed using an Agilent 1200 series RRLC system with Phenomenex Luna C18-HST and Zorbax Eclipse XDB columns. The separation was performed with a gradient mobile phase of A (pure water) and B (acetonitrile) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and 2.5 mL/min, respectively. Both columns were kept at 40 degrees C with the detection wavelength set at 203 nm. Specific eluted compounds were identified by using reference samples of ginsenosides R1, Rg1, Re, Rf, Rb1, Rc, Rb2, and Rd, and epimedins A, B, C and icariin. Baseline separation was achieved in less than 15 minutes for the Phenomenex Luna column and 4 minutes for the Zorbax Eclipse column. Characteristic RRLC profiles were established for complex mixtures of ginsenosides from Panax species and flavonoids from Epimedium species. Both methods developed here are effective for the quality control of formulated products containing both Panax and Epimedium varieties.     

Studies on Intestinal Transport of Ginsenoside Compatibility with Veratrum nigrum via Caco-2 Cell Monolayer Model Coupled with UPLC-ESI-MS Method

The Caco-2 cells have been recognized as effective tools to be applied to imitating the drug absorption in human intestine for the transport of drug. Herein, Caco-2 cell monolayer model was used to study the transport of the ginsenoside compatibility with Veratrum nigrum in different proportions. A specific high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry(HPLC-ESI-MS) method was developed for the semiquantitative determination of ginsenoside in intestinal transport with Dioscin as an internal standard. For the Caco-2 model constructed, two influencing factors were investigated, including time and concentration. The results suggest that the absorption of ginsenoside Re, Rg1, Rb1, Rc, Rb2 and Rd are time- and concentration-dependent and the excretions of Rb1, Rc, Rb2 and Rd have a relatronship with some transport proteins. The bioavailability of the ginsenosides has reduced compared to the single Panax ginseng extract when compatibility with a certain amount of Veratrum nigrum.     

Determination of marker constituents in radix Glycyrrhizae and radix Notoginseng by near infrared spectroscopy

High-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods were developed for the determination of glycyrrhizin in radix Glycyrrhizae and ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Re, Rf and Rg, in radix Notoginseng. These methods were used as reference methods for near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Spectroscopic calibrations were developed for the determination of glycyrrhizin, the total content of ginsenosides and the individual major ginsenosides Rb1, Rd, Re and Rg1. Standard errors of cross validation (SECV) were 1.22 mg g(-1) for glycyrrhizin (concentration range 21.3-34.1 mg g(-1)) and 0.99 mg g(-1) for the sum of ginsenosides (concentration range 55.3-71.1 mg g(-1)). The corresponding coefficients of determination (R2) were 0.94 and 0.98, respectively. The SECVs were generally less than a factor of 2.5 of the repeatability standard deviation of the HPLC methods.
