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

Ginsenosides Rgl, 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.     

Determination of Saponins in Leaf of Panax Ginseng C. A. Mey. by High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Foam Floatation-SPE for Separation and Concentration of Trace Ginsenosides

A foam floatation (FF) process and a solid phase extraction (SPE) process were synchronously applied to the separation and concentration of ginsenosides from extracts of Panax quinquefolius L. The selectivity and sensitivity for the determination of the ginsenosides were improved. The experimental conditions, including volumes of the sample solutions, pH value of sample solution, the flow rate of nitrogen gas and floatation time for FF and elution conditions for SPE were examined and optimized. Average recoveries for protopanaxadiol (PPD) ginsenosides Rc, Rb₂, Rb₃, Rd, and Rb₁ were between 84.5 and 98.8%. The relative standard deviations were lower than 6.73% for the PPD ginsenosides. The results were satisfactory since both FF and SPE were synchronously applied to both the separation and concentration. The proposed method is not only of importance for the concentration and separation of ginsenosides in extracts from P. quinquefolius L., but also of great potential in the separation and concentration of trace compounds in the other solution samples.     

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 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.     

Determination of ginsenosides (ginseng saponins) in dry root powder from Panax ginseng, Panax quinquefolius, and selected commercial products by liquid chromatography: interlaboratory study

Twelve collaborating laboratories assayed 4 products, namely, Panax ginseng, Panax quinquefolius, and 2 ginseng products, for 6 ginsenosides: Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Re, and Rg1. Collaborators also received a negative control for the recovery study. Pure ginsenosides were provided as reference standards for the liquid chromatography (LC) analysis and the system suitability tests. The LC analyses were performed on the methanol extract using UV detection at 203 nm. For P. ginseng, individual ginsenosides were consistent in their means; repeatability standard deviations (RSDr) ranged from 4.17 to 5.09% and reproducibility standard deviations (RSDR) ranged from 7.27 to 11.3%. For P. quinquefolius, the Rb1 and Rb2 ginsenosides were higher and lower in concentration than P. ginseng, with RSDr values of 3.44 and 6.60% and RSDR values of 5.91 and 12.6% respectively, and other analytes at intermediate precisions. For ginseng commercial products, RSDr values ranged from 3.39 to 8.12%, and RSDR values ranged from 7.65 to 16.5%. A recovery study was also conducted for 3 ginsenosides: Rg1, Re, and Rb1. The average recoveries were 99.9, 96.2, and 92.3%, respectively. The method is not applicable for the determination of Rg1 and Re in ginseng product at levels <300 mg/kg.     

Pharmacokinetic study of five ginsenosides using a sensitive and rapid liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method following single and multiple oral administration of Shexiang Baoxin pills to rats

Shexiang Baoxin pills (SBP) are a traditional Chinese medicine that are used for treating coronary heart disease. Ginsenosides are the main effective components of SBP, but a comprehensive and deep pharmacokinetic study of ginsenosides in SBP, including multiple dosing and linear or nonlinear properties, is lacking. This study was designed to investigate and compare the pharmacokinetic characteristics of ginsenosides in SBP at a single dose and in multiple doses. A liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of the ginsenosides Rg1, Re, Rb3, Rc and Rb1 in rat plasma. Rats were randomly assigned to receive a single dose of 4, 8 or 12 g/kg and multiple doses (4 g/kg) of SBP for 8, 15 or 22 consecutive days. The results revealed that ginsenosides, following a single oral dose of 4 or 8 g/kg, were absorbed rapidly, with a T_max ranging from 0.250 to 1.08 h. The AUC_0–t and C_max of the ppd‐type ginsenosides Rb3, Rc and Rb1 were greater than those of the ppt‐type ginsenosides Rg1 and Re. Nondose‐dependent exposure was observed at doses of 4–12 g/kg for all of the ginsenosides. After multiple dosing, the plasma levels of the ppt‐type ginsenosides decreased, whereas those of the ppd‐type ginsenosides did not change significantly. In conclusion, the LC‐MS/MS method was successfully applied to investigate the pharmacokinetics of ginsenosides after single and multiple oral administrations of SBP. The ginsenosides did not accumulate after multiple dosing. The ppd‐type ginsenosides displayed more favorable pharmacokinetic properties compared with the ppt‐type ginsenosides.

To improve the quantification sensitivity of large molecular weight compounds--with ginsenosides as example

High cone voltage was used to improve the quantification sensitivity of large molecular weight compounds in high-performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI-MS), with ginsenosides as example. Investigations on the effect of cone voltage showed that within a voltage range of 30-130 V, for all the ginsenosides tested, i.e., Rb(1), Rb(2), Rc, Rd, Re, R(f) and R(g1), an increase in the applied cone voltage can significantly increase the sensitivity of the method. The maximum sensitivity in the determination decreases with the decreasing molecular weight of the ginsenosides in the order of Rb(1) > Rb(2) > Rc > Re > Rd > R(g1) > R(f). At the high cone voltage of 130 V, both molecular weight and structural information was obtained from a single mass spectrum. It can also be used for isomer differentiation and determination of O-glycosidic linkages in ginsenosides. Linear relationships between the peak area response and concentration were observed in the range of 50-2 x 10(5) ng/mL, with the correlation coefficients >0.99. The limits of detection reached down to pg for ginsenosides. The method was successfully applied to the determination of ginsenosides in commercial ginseng samples.
