Fingerprint analysis and multi‐ingredient quantitative analysis for quality evaluation of Xiaoyanlidan tablets by ultra high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection

A rapid and sensitive ultra high performance liquid chromatography method with diode array detection was developed for the fingerprint analysis and simultaneous determination of seven active compounds in Xiaoyanlidan (XYLD) tablets. The chromatographic separations were obtained on an Agilent Eclipse plus C₁₈ column (50 × 2.1 mm id, 1.8 μm) using gradient elution with water/formic acid (1%) and acetonitrile at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. Within 63 min, 36 peaks could be selected as the common peaks for fingerprint analysis to evaluate the similarities among several samples of XYLD tablets collected from different manufacturers. In quantitative analysis, seven compounds showed good regression (R > 0.9990) within test ranges and the recovery of the method was within the range of 95.9–104.3%. The method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of seven compounds in six batches of XYLD tablets. These results demonstrate that the combination of chromatographic fingerprint analysis and simultaneous multi‐ingredient quantification using the ultra high performance liquid chromatography method with diode array detection offers a rapid, efficient, and reliable approach for quality evaluation of XYLD tablets.     

Determination of major phenolic compounds in apples: Part I—Optimization of high‐performance liquid chromatography separation with diode array detection

The separation of seven phenolic compounds including gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, epicatechin, quercitrin, rutin, phloridzin, and phloretin present in apple peel and pulp and differing in elution properties has been optimized using high‐performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection. Several stationary phases were tested to achieve the efficient separation of phenolic compounds in fruit extracts and C18 was found to be the most efficient. Core–shell and fully porous C18 packings were assessed with respect to the complex composition of the fruit extracts. The developed high‐performance liquid chromatography method comprised gradient elution in which mobile phase A was water at pH 2.8 adjusted with acetic acid and B was acetonitrile. The gradient shape was the following: 0 min 95% A/5% B, 2.5 min 85% A/15% B, 12 min 50% A/50% B, 15 min 95% A/5% B. The flow rate was 1 mL/min, injection volume 10 μL, and UV detection at 255, 280, 320, and 365 nm was applied. Our method was validated for both C18 core–shell and fully porous packings. The resolution 6.2–14.8, symmetry 0.99–1.34, peak capacity 18–60, peak area repeatability 0.45–1.00% relative standard deviation, calibration range 0.125–5 mg/mL (0.25–10 mg/mL for chlorogenic acid and rutin), correlation coefficients of calibration curve 0.9976–0.9997, and accuracy evaluated as recovery 95.56–107.54% were determined for the core–shell column.

Fast quantitative analysis of four tyrosine kinase inhibitors in different human plasma samples using three‐way calibration‐ assisted liquid chromatography with diode array detection

A simple method has been developed by combining high‐performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection with the alternating trilinear decomposition method for simultaneous determination of four tyrosine kinase inhibitors in different human plasma samples. Chromatographic separation of the analytes was performed on a reversed‐phase column with methanol (65%, v/v, A) and 0.1% aqueous solution of formic acid (35%, v/v, B). Analysis time was 5.0 min per run and analytes could be completely eluted within 2.8??3.8 min. The calibration concentration ranges of vandetanib, pazopanib, afatinib and dasatinib were designed as 0.50–6.10, 0.50–6.10, 0.70–7.00 and 0.70–7.00 μg·mL^?1, respectively. The intra‐ and inter‐day RSDs ranged between 0.1 and 8.9%. Quantitative information could be extracted from the unsegregated interferences of different human plasma samples with the aid of the “second‐order advantage” of three‐way (second‐order) calibration methods. All results demonstrated that the proposed method for direct quantitative analysis of four tyrosine kinase inhibitors in different complex systems possessed good characteristics of rapidity, sensitivity and efficiency, and it is expected to be an attractive choice in the fast analysis of clinical samples.     

Multi‐component determination and chemometric analysis of Paris polyphylla by ultra high performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection

Multi‐source analysis of traditional Chinese medicine is key to ensuring its safety and efficacy. Compared with traditional experimental differentiation, chemometric analysis is a simpler strategy to identify traditional Chinese medicines. Multi‐component analysis plays an increasingly vital role in the quality control of traditional Chinese medicines. A novel strategy, based on chemometric analysis and quantitative analysis of multiple components, was proposed to easily and effectively control the quality of traditional Chinese medicines such as Chonglou. Ultra high performance liquid chromatography was more convenient and efficient. Five species of Chonglou were distinguished by chemometric analysis and nine saponins, including Chonglou saponins I, II, V, VI, VII, D, and H, as well as dioscin and gracillin, were determined in 18 min. The method is feasible and credible, and enables to improve quality control of traditional Chinese medicines and natural products.     

Simultaneous determination of 4‐hydroxyphenyl lactic acid, 4‐hydroxyphenyl acetic acid,and 3,4‐hydroxyphenyl propionic acid in human urine by ultra‐high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection

A simple and reliable method was established for simultaneous determination of 4‐hydroxyphenyl acetic acid, 4‐hydroxyphenyl lactic acid, and 3,4‐hydroxyphenyl propionic acid in human urine by high‐performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. Solid‐phase extraction was used to eliminate the interferences in urine. The separation of three analytes was achieved using a C₁₈ column and a mobile phase formed by a 95:5 v/v mixture of 50 mmol/L ammonium acetate buffer at pH 6.8 that contained 5 mmol/L tetrabutyl ammonium bromide and acetonitrile. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limits of 4‐hydroxyphenyl acetic acid, 4‐hydroxyphenyl lactic acid, and 3,4‐hydroxyphenyl propionic acid were 4.8 × 10⁻³, 8.80 × 10⁻³, and 9.00 × 10⁻³ mg/L, respectively, and the recoveries were in the range of 85.0–120.0% with relative standard deviations of 1.5–3.1%. This method was used to analyze urine samples from breast cancer patients, healthy people and post‐surgery breast cancer patients. Significant differences in urinary levels of 4‐hydroxyphenyl acetic acid and 4‐hydroxyphenyl lactic acid could be found between the breast cancer patients group and other two groups. No effect of age and sex was observed on the urinary levels of 4‐hydroxyphenyl acetic acid and 4‐hydroxyphenyl lactic acid. This method might be helpful for cancer biomarkers discovery in urine.     

Homoisoflavonoids profiling of Ophiopogon japonicus by off‐line coupling high‐speed countercurrent chromatography with high‐performance liquid chromatography–diode array detector‒quadrupole time‐of‐flight tandem mass spectrometry

Roots of Ophiopogon japonicus have been used as a functional food ingredient and traditional Chinese medicine for a long time in China. Homoisoflavonoids are one of the major kinds of bioactive compounds in O. japonicus; however, literature data about its homoisoflavonoids profile are scarce because of the complex ingredients with low abundance. Here, homoisoflavonoid fraction was prepared by petroleum ether extraction. Then, a high‐speed countercurrent chromatography off‐line coupling with high‐performance liquid chromatography–diode array detector?quadrupole time‐of‐flight tandem mass spectrometry was developed for systematic identification of homoisoflavonoids. After that, 39 homoisoflavonoids, including 29 homoisoflavanone and 10 homoisoflavone, were unambiguously or tentatively identified, while 12 of them were reported in O. japonicus for the first time. Finally, eight available homoisoflavonoids were sensitively, precisely, and accurately determined by standard calibration curves, with limit of detection and limit of quantification in the range of 0.05–0.30 μg/mL and 0.12–0.66 μg/mL, relative standard deviation less than 7.3% for intra‐ and interday variations, and recovery at 94.5–105.2%. Collectively, our developed method is efficient, reliable, and valuable to profile chemical components of complex natural products.

Rapid quantitative analysis of individual anthocyanin content based on high‐performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection with the pH differential method

A new quantitative technique for the simultaneous quantification of the individual anthocyanins based on the pH differential method and high‐performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection is proposed in this paper. The six individual anthocyanins (cyanidin 3‐glucoside, cyanidin 3‐rutinoside, petunidin 3‐glucoside, petunidin 3‐rutinoside, and malvidin 3‐rutinoside) from mulberry (Morus rubra) and Liriope platyphylla were used for demonstration and validation. The elution of anthocyanins was performed using a C₁₈ column with stepwise gradient elution and individual anthocyanins were identified by high‐performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. Based on the pH differential method, the high‐performance liquid chromatography peak areas of maximum and reference absorption wavelengths of anthocyanin extracts were conducted to quantify individual anthocyanins. The calibration curves for these anthocyanins were linear within the range of 10–5500 mg/L. The correlation coefficients (r²) all exceeded 0.9972, and the limits of detection were in the range of 1–4 mg/L at a signal‐to‐noise ratio ≥5 for these anthocyanins. The proposed quantitative analysis was reproducible with good accuracy of all individual anthocyanins ranging from 96.3 to 104.2% and relative recoveries were in the range 98.4–103.2%. The proposed technique is performed without anthocyanin standards and is a simple, rapid, accurate, and economical method to determine individual anthocyanin contents.     

Fast and simultaneous determination of 12 polyphenols in apple peel and pulp by using chemometrics‐assisted high‐performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection

In this work, a smart chemometrics‐enhanced strategy, high‐performance liquid chromatography, and diode array detection coupled with second‐order calibration method based on alternating trilinear decomposition algorithm was proposed to simultaneously quantify 12 polyphenols in different kinds of apple peel and pulp samples. The proposed strategy proved to be a powerful tool to solve the problems of coelution, unknown interferences, and chromatographic shifts in the process of high‐performance liquid chromatography analysis, making it possible for the determination of 12 polyphenols in complex apple matrices within 10 min under simple conditions of elution. The average recoveries with standard deviations, and figures of merit including sensitivity, selectivity, limit of detection, and limit of quantitation were calculated to validate the accuracy of the proposed method. Compared to the quantitative analysis results from the classic high‐performance liquid chromatography method, the statistical and graphical analysis showed that our proposed strategy obtained more reliable results. All results indicated that our proposed method used in the quantitative analysis of apple polyphenols was an accurate, fast, universal, simple, and green one, and it was expected to be developed as an attractive alternative method for simultaneous determination of multitargeted analytes in complex matrices.     

Two‐way and three‐way approaches to ultra high performance liquid chromatography–photodiode array dataset for the quantitative resolution of a two‐component mixture containing ciprofloxacin and ornidazole

Two‐way and three‐way calibration models were applied to ultra high performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array data with coeluted peaks in the same wavelength and time regions for the simultaneous quantitation of ciprofloxacin and ornidazole in tablets. The chromatographic data cube (tensor) was obtained by recording chromatographic spectra of the standard and sample solutions containing ciprofloxacin and ornidazole with sulfadiazine as an internal standard as a function of time and wavelength. Parallel factor analysis and trilinear partial least squares were used as three‐way calibrations for the decomposition of the tensor, whereas three‐way unfolded partial least squares was applied as a two‐way calibration to the unfolded dataset obtained from the data array of ultra high performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection. The validity and ability of two‐way and three‐way analysis methods were tested by analyzing validation samples: synthetic mixture, interday and intraday samples, and standard addition samples. Results obtained from two‐way and three‐way calibrations were compared to those provided by traditional ultra high performance liquid chromatography. The proposed methods, parallel factor analysis, trilinear partial least squares, unfolded partial least squares, and traditional ultra high performance liquid chromatography were successfully applied to the quantitative estimation of the solid dosage form containing ciprofloxacin and ornidazole.

Evaluation and quantitative analysis of 11 compounds in Morinda officinalis using ultra‐high performance liquid chromatography and photodiode array detection coupled with chemometrics

Morinda officinalis (Rubiaceae) is a traditional Chinese medicine widely used for the treatment of impotence and osteoporosis in clinical therapy. In the present study, a rapid and simple ultra‐high performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of 11 bioactive compounds in M. officinalis . This assay method was validated with respect to linearity (R ²  > 0.9991), precision, repeatability, limit of detection, limit of quantification, and accuracy (with observed recovery rates between 94.21 and 100.38%). The quantitative results revealed significant differences in the concentrations of the selected compounds. Additionally, chemometric methods, including hierarchical clustering analysis, principal component analysis, and partial least‐squares discriminate analysis, were applied to compare and sort the 25 batches of M. officinalis samples based on the quantitative data of the analytes. All of the samples were clearly divided into two groups: the Hainan samples were successfully discriminated from the samples from other origins. Simultaneous determination of multiple compounds using the proposed method combined with chemometrics could be a viable strategy to compare and evaluate the quality of M. officinalis .     

Simultaneous and rapid determination of deoxynivalenol and its acetylate derivatives in wheat flour and rice by ultra high performance liquid chromatography with photo diode array detection

A simple and reliable method of ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled with photo‐diode array detection has been proposed for the simultaneous determination of deoxynivalenol and its acetylated derivatives in wheat flour and rice, especially focusing on the optimization of sample extraction, cleanup, and chromatographic separation conditions. Sample pretreatment consisted of a first step using a quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe based extraction procedure and a subsequent cleanup step based on solid‐phase extraction. The method was extensively validated in wheat flour and rice, obtaining satisfactory analytical performance with good linearity (R² ≥ 0.999), acceptable recoveries (80.0–104.4%), and repeatability (RSDs 1.3–10.7%). The limits of detection (21.7–57.4 μg/kg) and quantitation (72.3–191.4 μg/kg) for deoxynivalenols were lower than those usually permitted by various countries’ legislation in these food matrices. The method was applied to 34 wheat and rice samples. The results were further compared with results of ultra high performance liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry.     

Simultaneous determination of six synthetic phenolic antioxidants in edible oils using dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction followed by high‐performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection

A simple, rapid, organic‐solvent‐ and sample‐saving pretreatment technique, called dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction, was developed for the determination of six synthetic phenolic antioxidants from edible oils before high‐performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection. The entire procedure was composed of a two‐step microextraction and a centrifugal process and could be finished in about 5 min, only consuming only 25 mg of sample and 1 mL of the organic solvent for each extraction. The influences of several important parameters on the microextraction efficiency were thoroughly investigated. Recovery assays for oil samples were spiked at three concentration levels, 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg, and provided recoveries in the 86.3–102.5% range with a relative standard deviation below 3.5%. The intra‐day and inter‐day precisions for the analysis were less than 3.8%. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of synthetic phenolic antioxidants in different oil samples, and satisfactory results were obtained. Thus, the developed method represents a viable alternative for the quality control of synthetic phenolic antioxidant concentrations in edible oils.     

Integrating qualitative and quantitative characterization of traditional Chinese medicine injection by high‐performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection and tandem mass spectrometry

The present study aims to describe and exemplify an integrated strategy of the combination of qualitative and quantitative characterization of a multicomponent mixture for the quality control of traditional Chinese medicine injections with the example of Danhong injection (DHI). The standardized chemical profile of DHI has been established based on liquid chromatography with diode array detection. High‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry and high‐performance liquid chromatography with electrospray multistage tandem ion‐trap mass spectrometry have been developed to identify the major constituents in DHI.

Meanwhile, the simultaneous determination of seven marker constituents, including uridine, adenosine, danshensu, protocatechuic aldehyde, p‐coumaric acid, rosmarinic acid, and salvianolic acid B, in DHI was performed by multiwavelength detection based on high‐performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection. The integrated qualitative and quantitative characterization strategy provided an effective and reliable pattern for the comprehensive and systematic characterization of the complex traditional Chinese medicine system.     

Analysis of fentanyl derivatives by ultra high performance liquid chromatography with diode array ultraviolet and single quadrupole mass spectrometric detection

Fentanyl has become pervasive as a drug of abuse and as adulterant in seized drugs. Positional isomers analyzed by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry can follow the same fragmentation pathway and therefore may not be differentiated. Additionally, electron ionization leads to lack of discernible molecular ion for most fentanyl related compounds. Liquid chromatography may be used as an orthogonal identification technique with diode array ultraviolet and mass spectrometric detection. Here we provide a chromatographic method for the separation of 20 different fentanyl analogues, homologues and positional isomers using ultra high performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array ultraviolet and mass spectrometry detection. Five different columns were investigated utilizing reverse phase chromatography and hydrophilic interaction chromatography. Chromatographic systems were evaluated to determine which could separate the most compounds overall, as well as the most positional isomers. We found that isocratic elution, with a methanol modifier (35%) and formic acid (0.1%) as an additive, on a C18 column at a temperature of 25°C could resolve 10/20 compounds overall and 16/20 positional isomers. Using electrospray ionization, compounds with different masses could easily be distinguished based on their pseudo molecular ions. Ultraviolet detection facilitated differentiation of positional isomers that could not be distinguished by either electron ionization or electrospray ionization mass spectrometry alone.
