铁皮石斛的裂解气相色谱指纹图谱及其系统聚类分析

采用裂解气相色谱/质谱法(Py-GC/MS)测定了10种不同产地的铁皮石斛并结合系统聚类分析法比较了这些铁皮石斛的指纹图谱,采用释放气体分析法考察了裂解温度对指纹图谱的影响。结果表明,0.4 mg样品在450 ℃下可瞬间裂解,10种样品的指纹图谱具有相似性,且重现性好;采用系统聚类分析能区别不同产地的样品。本法快速、简便、准确,不失为药材质量控制的良好方法。

Pyrolysis-gas chromatographic fingerprints with hierarchical cluster analysis for Dendrobium candidum Wall.ex Lindl.

The pyrogram fingerprints of Dendrobium candidum Wall. ex Lindl. from different regions were studied by pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) and compared with hierarchical cluster analysis. The effect of pyrolysis temperature on the fingerprint was examined by evolved gas analysis, and then 450 ℃ was selected as the optimized pyrolysis temperature. An amount of 0.4 mg of raw drug powder was pyrolysed in a vertical microfurnace pyrolyzer, and the products were directly introduced into a gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID) and a fused-silica capillary column (30 m×0.25 mm×0.25 μm). The pyrogram fingerprints of 10 samples from different regions showed a high similarity and a good reproducibility with the relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the retention times less than 0.33% and the RSDs of the relative peak areas less than 4.8%. Therefore, each sample was characterized by the peak area of 31 peaks in each pyrogram and these peaks were employed for hierarchical cluster analysis. Furthermore, the discrimination of the sample from different regions was achieved by hierarchical cluster analysis via recognizing the 10×31 data matrix. Thus, the results proved it is a simple, rapid and accurate method suitable for the quality control of the traditional Chinese medicines.
