Determination of polyphenol components in herbal medicines by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography with Tween 20

A simple and convenient method of micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) using polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate (Tween 20) to form single micelle and methanol as a buffer additive was introduced for the simultaneous determination of five polyphenols, including scopoletin, rutin, esculetin, chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid. A running buffer solution of pH 9.3, 20 mmol/L sodium tetraborate containing 64 mmol/L Tween 20 and 9% (v/v) methanol was adopted in the separation. Because rutin and esculetin were difficult to be separated by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and SDS-based MEKC, Tween 20-based MEKC was adopted and the polyphenols were separated satisfactorily. The proposed method was used to determine the polyphenol components in the herbal medicine of Cortex fraxini. The separation mechanism of Tween 20-based MEKC for the polyphenols was discussed preliminarily.     

Rapid Determination of Polyphenols in Tobacco by MLC

A rapid, simple and reliable analytical procedure has been developed for the determination of polyphenols, including chlorogenic acid, rutin and scopoletin, in tobacco samples. After extraction, the polyphenols were analyzed by micellar liquid chromatography coupled with UV detection at 340 nm without sample preparation step. The compositions of the micellar mobile phase for the separation of these polyphenols were selected adequately by a chemometric method. The optimal resolution and satisfactory peak shapes were achieved with 0.022 mol L^?1 sodium dodecyl sulfate and 0.45% (volume fraction) 1-propanol solution at pH 5.0 using Eclipse XDB-C18 (250 mm × 3.0 mm, 5 μm) column. The limits of detection for chlorogenic acid, rutin and scopoletin were 0.15, 0.29 and 0.22 μg mL^?1, respectively. This validated method was successfully applied to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the polyphenols in tobacco in less than 10 min.     

Dynamic ultrasound-assisted extraction of polyphenols in tobacco

A novel extraction method, namely dynamic ultrasound-assisted extraction, is investigated. This technique is efficient with respect to both time and solvent consumption because it utilizes ultrasonic energy in dynamic mode during extraction. Polyphenols (chlorogenic acid, esculetin, rutin, scopoletin, and quercitrin) are extracted from a tobacco (Nicotina tobaccum L.) sample for 10 min with 6 mL of solvent. Fresh solvent is continuously pumped through the sample, with which the analytes can be rapidly extracted, and the possibility of degradation efficiently avoided. Methanol involving 0.5% w/v ascorbic acid was used as extraction solvent; optimal flow rate and extraction time were investigated. The extract was cleaned up by C18 disposable cartridge. The spiked and nonspiked tobacco samples were used for the evaluation of the proposed method. Recoveries obtained were varied from 96 to 108% and RSDs from 2.0 to 4.6%. This extraction technique was revealed to recover larger amounts of polyphenols from tobacco, compared to the static ultrasound-assisted extraction method.     

Evaluation of pharmacokinetics,bioavailability and urinary excretion of scopolin and its metabolite scopoletin in Sprague Dawley rats by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry

We aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetics, bioavailability and urinary excretion of scopolin and its metabolite scopoletin in rats. An LC–tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) method for simultaneous determination of scopolin and scopoletin in rat biomatrices was developed and validated over a plasma and urine concentration range of 5.0–2000 ng/mL. Chromatographic separation was performed on a Hypersil GOLD C₁₈ column with acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid in water as mobile phase with gradient elution. Detection was performed in the positive ionization and selected reaction monitoring mode. The intra‐ and inter‐batch precision and accuracy, extraction recovery and matrix effect and stability of scopolin and scopoletin were well within the acceptable limits of variation. There was no gender‐related difference in the pharmacokinetic profiles of scopolin. There were significant differences in total area under the concentration–time curve (AUC), time required to achieve a maximal concentration (T_max) and apparent clearance from plasma (Cl/F) of scopoletin between the male and female rats (p < .05). The bioavailability (F) of scopolin was exceptionally low. The maximal excretion rates were 7.61 μg/h and 7.15 μg/h for scopolin and 31.68 μg/h and 25.58 μg/h for scopoletin in male and female rats, respectively. The LC–MS/MS method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic, bioavailability and urinary excretion studies of scopolin and its metabolite scopoletin following a single administration of scopolin to rats.     

Determination of seven polyphenols in water by high performance liquid chromatography combined with preconcentration

A method for determination of seven polyphenols (chlorogenic acid, esculetin, caffeic acid, scopoletin, rutin, quercetin hydrate, kaempferol) by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) combined with preconcentration was developed. The preconcentration was accomplished by adsorption-desorption method with a styrene-divinylbenzene resin (XAD-4), and the analytes were desorbed by methanol. The parameters of adsorption and desorption, such as the amounts of resin, adsorption time, pH of the adsorption solution, and the volume of methanol for desorption were optimized. RP-HPLC with photodiode array detector (PAD) was employed for the qualitative and quantitative analysis. Methanol and acetic-water (1:99, v/v) solution were used as the mobile phase, and a gradient program was established for separation. Calibration curves of the seven analytes were obtained in the range of 0.8-3 mg L⁻¹, with correlation coefficients (R) higher than 0.9990. With standard samples, the recoveries for the preconcentration step under optimal conditions were 93-99%, and the relative standard deviations were 0.2-2.0% (n = 5). Polyphenols in simulated tobacco-polluted water were analyzed with the optimized conditions. Chlorogenic acid and rutin were found and determined, whose concentrations were 32.8 and 19.2 μg L⁻¹, respectively. The spiked recoveries of the polyphenols were 83-95% except quercetin hydrate (63%), the relative standard deviations were less than 3.5% (n = 5).     

Tungstate as complex-forming reagent facilitating separation of selected polyphenols by capillary electrophoresis and its comparison with borate

A novel electrophoretic BGE containing tungstate as complex-forming reagent is suitable for the separation of polyphenols. Similar to molybdate-containing BGE reported earlier (cf. M. Polásek, et al.., Talanta 2006, 69, 192) addition of tungstate to BGE affects significantly migration of compounds/ligands with vicinal -OH groups due to the formation of negatively charged complexes involving W(VI) as central ion. Baseline separation of mixtures of flavonoids (apigenin, luteolin, hyperoside, quercetin, and rutin) and phenolic acids (chlorogenic and p-coumaric acid) was achieved within 15 min with optimized BGE of pH 7.4 containing 50 mM N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-2'-(2-ethanesulfonic acid) (HEPES), 2.2 mM tungstate, and 25% v/v of methanol. The separation was performed in a 75 cm (effective length 42 cm)x 75 microm id uncoated fused-silica capillary at 30 kV with spectrophotometric detection at 275 nm. The calibration curves were rectilinear for 25-175 microg/mL of all analytes (cinnamic acid as the internal standard). The LODs ranged from 1.8 to 6 microg/mL for all analytes except for chlorogenic acid. Intraday precision (n = 6) of migration times (RSD < or = 1.2%) and peak areas (RSD < or = 5.6%) was evaluated. The tungstate-based BGEs can be alternatively utilized for the analysis of polyphenols at considerably lower pH than with conventional alkaline borate-based BGEs.     

Rapid and sensitive analysis of three polyphenols in tobacco by CE using homemade C(4) D with a mini detection cell

A rapid, sensitive, and practical CE with C(4) D detection was developed for the analysis of three polyphenols (rutin, scopoletin, and chlorogenic acid) in tobacco samples. The constructed mini detection cell (12 mm × 10 mm × 10 mm) of C(4) D featured with small inner cell volume (～2 nL), smaller noise (<0.9 mV), repeatability, high strength and durableness. Three polyphenols were ultrasonically extracted with methanol-water (70:30, v/v) solution following SPE cleanup. The CE method was optimized with the running buffer of 150 mmol L(-1) 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (pH 11.2), and the applied separation voltage of +20 kV over a capillary of 50 μm id × 375 μm od × 50 cm (38 cm to the C(4) D window, 41.5 cm to the UV detector window), which gave a baseline separation of three polyphenols within ca. 6 min. The method provided the limits of quantification (S/N = 10) at about 0.08-0.15 μg g(-1) for three polyphenols, whereas the overall recoveries ranged from 82% to 88%. The proposed method has been successfully applied to measure three polyphenols in the actual tobacco samples, and their contents were calculated and evaluated.     

Determination of polyphenols by high-performance liquid chromatography with inhibited chemiluminescence detection.

A chemiluminescence reaction detector was developed for the detection of polyphenols separated by HPLC based on the inhibition of chemiluminescence from the luminol-potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) reaction by polyphenols. The separation was carried out on a RP-C18 column at 37 degrees C by using stepwise gradient elutions. The detection limits are in the range of 6.8 x 10(-7)-2.0 x 10(-9) g/ml for catechol, protocatechuic acid, chlorogenic acid, rutin, resorcinol, hydroquinone and p-tert.butylpyrocatechol. The method is sensitive, selective, fast and simple. It has been successfully applied to the determination of chlorogenic acid and rutin in real tobacco samples.     

Comparison of various easy-to-use procedures for extraction of phenols from apricot fruits

Phenols are broadly distributed in the plant kingdom and are the most abundant secondary metabolites of plants. Plant polyphenols have drawn increasing attention due to their potential antioxidant properties and their marked effects in the prevention of various oxidative stress associated diseases such as cancer. The objective of this study was to investigate a suitable method for determination of protocatechuic acid, 4-aminobenzoic acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, vanillin, p-coumaric acid, rutin, ferulic acid, quercetin, resveratrol and quercitrin from apricot samples. A high-performance liquid chromatograph with electrochemical and UV detectors was used. The method was optimized in respect to both the separation selectivity of individual phenolic compounds and the maximum sensitivity with the electrochemical detection. The lowest limits of detection (3 S/N) using UV detection were estimated for ferulic acid (3 μM), quercitrin (4 μM) and quercetin (4 μM). Using electrochemical detection values of 27 nM, 40 nM and 37 nM were achieved for ferulic acid, quercitrin and quercetin, respectively. It follows from the acquired results that the coulometric detection under a universal potential of 600 mV is more suitable and sensitive for polyphenols determination than UV detection at a universal wavelength of 260 nm. Subsequently, we tested the influence of solvent composition, vortexing and sonication on separation efficiency. Our results showed that a combination of water, acetone and methanol in 20:20:60 ratio was the most effective for p-aminobenzoic acid, chlorgenic acid, caffeic acid, protocatechuic acid, ferulic acid, rutin, resveratrol and quercetin, in comparison with other solvents. On the other hand, vortexing at 4 °C produced the highest yield. Moreover, we tested the contents of individual polyphenols in the apricot cultivars Mamaria, Mold and LE-1075. The major phenolic compounds were chlorgenic acid and rutin. Chlorgenic acid was found in amounts of 2,302 mg/100 g in cultivar LE-1075, 546 mg/100 g in cultivar Mamaria and 129 mg/100 g in cultivar Mold. Generally, the cultivar LE-1075 produced the highest polyphenol content values, contrary to Mold, which compared to cultivar LE-1075 was quite poor from the point of view of the phenolics content.

Liquid Chromatographic Analysis of Phenolic Compounds in Organically and Conventionally Grown Varieties of Sour Cherries

Liquid chromatographic analysis of the polyphenols in sour cherries was achieved on bi-functional RP columns with a gradient prepared from methanol and aqueous formic acid. For quantitative analysis the compounds were detected at 320 nm. The method was validated for linearity, precision, and recovery. Chlorogenic acid, neochlorogenic acid, and rutin were detected in sour cherry cultivars. Amounts of neochlorogenic acid were in the range 471–590 μg g⁻¹. For the three sour cherry cultivars investigated in this study there was no significant difference between the chlorogenic acid and rutin content of cherries produced by conventional and organic farming. There were, however, significant differences between the amounts of these compounds in cherries harvested in different years.

     

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for determination of scopolin in rat plasma: application to pharmacokinetic studies

An analytical method based on high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) with ultraviolet (UV) detection was developed for determination of scopolin in rat plasma using aesculin as internal standard (IS). After protein precipitation of plasma sample with methanol, the supernatant was directly injected and analyzed. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a C18 column using methanol and distilled water (22:78, v/v) containing 0.2% (v/v) glacial acetic acid as mobile phase with a column temperature of 30 degrees C. The UV detector was set at 338 nm. The calibration curve was linear over the range of 0.105-13.125 microg/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9998. The retention times of aesculin and scopolin were 10.4 and 12.8 min, respectively. The recoveries for plasma samples of 0.105, 4.725 and 13.125 microg/mL were 91.08, 95.30 and 96.10%, respectively. The RSD of intra- and inter-day assay variations was less than 7.35%. The lower limit of detection was 0.03 microg/mL .This HPLC assay is a simple, sensitive and accurate and was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of scopolin in rats.     

On-column capillary electrophoretic monitoring of rapid reaction kinetics for determination of the antioxidative potential of various bioactive phenols

An on-column capillary electrophoretic procedure for the determination of the antioxidative potential of various bioactive phenols, found in plant, fruit, and vegetable extracts, is described. The assay is based on a rapid mixing of phenols or phenolic extracts before the capillary, followed by pressurized injection of the reaction mixture into the capillary. After incubation of the reaction mixture inside the capillary, high voltage is switched on and separation of reactants and products is performed. Using hydrogen peroxide as a stressor, the kinetics of the oxidation of various bioactive phenols was studied (rutin, chlorogenic acid, quercetin, caffeic acid, gallic acid, and combinations of these) and compared with the oxidation rate of L-ascorbic acid as a reference. The concept was demonstrated for the determination of the antioxidative potential of various polyphenol mixtures and of the methanol extract of the sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.). In most cases quercetin has the highest rate constant of oxidation among the tested phenolic compounds. However, in the mixture L-ascorbic acid/quercetin, the oxidation rate of L-ascorbic acid was enhanced and oxidation of quercetin was strongly inhibited compared with the other combinations of tested polyphenols.     

Capillary electrophoretic determination of the constituents of Artemisiae Capillaris Herba

Two capillary electrophoretic methods, a micellar electrokinetic electrophoretic (MEKC) one and a capillary zone electrophoretic (CZE) one, were developed for the separation of 12 constituents in Artemisiae Capillaris Herba. Detection at 254 nm with 20 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate and 20 mM sodium borate buffer (pH 9.82) in MEKC or with 25 mM sodium borate and 6.75 mg/ml 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-beta-cyclodextrin buffer in CZE was found to be the most suitable approach for this analysis. Within 42 min, the MEKC method could successfully separate 12 authentic constituents, whereof chlorogenic acid, however, appeared as a broad and split peak, and capillarisin and chlorogenic acid overlapped partially with other coexisting substances in crude extract of the herb. The CZE method could completely overcome these problems and was used to determine the amounts of capillarisin, chlorogenic acid, scopoletin and caffeic acid in the extract. The effect of buffers on the constituent separation and the validation of the two methods were discussed.     

Extraction and Hydrolysis Parameters for Determination of Quercetin in Hypericum perforatum

The optimum conditions for extraction of rutin and quercetin from Hypericum perforatum were investigated. The best efficiency of extraction was achieved with aqueous methanol 40–80% (v/v). For quercetin analysis as aglycone the effect of acid concentration and hydrolysis time on the extraction recovery were also studied. Hydrolysis for 5 min in the presence of 2.8 mol L^?1 HCl as well as for 10 min with 1.1 mol L^?1 HCl efficiently released quercetin from rutin. The content of quercetin?3-O-glycosides (rutin, hyperoside and quercetrin) and quercetin aglycone as well as chlorogenic and caffeic acids in H. perforatum leaves and flowers were determined by HPLC with photodiode-array detection and confirmed by electrospray mass spectrometry.     

Surfactant-assisted dispersive liquid–liquid micro-extraction combined with magnetic solid-phase extraction for analysis of polyphenols in tobacco samples

A novel and simple two-step micro-extraction technique combining surfactant-assisted dispersive liquid–liquid micro-extraction and magnetic solid-phase extraction prior to high-performance liquid chromatography was established for analysis of polyphenols including chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and scopoletin in tobacco samples. In the developed system, Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were synthesized by a one-step chemical co-precipitation method and used to remove hydrophobic substances in tobacco samples by physical adsorption. Low-density solvent (1-heptanol) and cationic surfactant cethyltrimethyl ammonium bromide were employed as extraction solvent and disperser agent, respectively. Under the optimized experimental conditions, a good linearity of the method was obtained over the concentration range from 0.1 to 1000 ng mL^?1 for target analytes. The limits of detection (S/N?=?3) were 0.05 ng mL^?1 for CGA, 0.10 ng mL^?1 for CFA, and 0.12 ng mL^?1 for SP, respectively. Finally, the applicability of the developed method was evaluated by extraction and determination of these three phenolic compounds in tobacco samples and satisfactory average recoveries of spiked samples were between 96.6 and 102.7%.     

The important role of quinic acid in the formation of phenolic compounds from pyrolysis of chlorogenic acid

Chlorogenic acid and its two structural components, quinic acid and caffeic acid, were pyrolyzed under reaction conditions simulating the typical pyrolysis conditions inside a burning cigarette. Major phenolic products from pyrolysis of the three acids were quantified and compared to evaluate the respective contribution of the quinic and caffeic acid moieties to the overall phenolic yield in chlorogenic acid pyrolysis. The results show that the most prominent phenolic product of chlorogenic acid is catechol, followed in order by phenol, hydroquinone, and alkylcatechols. Among these phenolics, catechol and alkylcatechols are formed mainly from the caffeic acid moiety of chlorogenic acid, while phenol and hydroquinone are produced predominantly from the quinic acid moiety. The quinic acid moiety can thus contribute more than 40 % of the overall phenolic yields in chlorogenic acid pyrolysis (0.54 mol mol^?1 chlorogenic acid pyrolyzed at 600 °C). Because considerable amounts of free quinic acid and its derivatives exist in tobacco, the results of this study indicate that quinic acid can be an important source of phenolic compounds, especially hydroquinone and phenol, in tobacco smoke.
