Fingerprint analysis of Dioscorea nipponica by high-performance liquid chromatography with evaporative light scattering detection

High-performance liquid chromatographic method (HPLC) with evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD) coupled with microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) as an efficient sample preparation technique has been developed for fingerprint analysis of Dioscorea nipponica. The samples were separated with an Agilent C8 column using water (A) and acetonitrile (B) under gradient conditions (0-10 min, linear gradient 20-40% B; 10-12 min, linear gradient 40-42% B; 12-25 min, isocratic 42% B) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL min⁻¹ within 22 min. The ELSD conditions were optimized at nebulizer-gas flow rate 2.7 L min⁻¹ and drift tube temperature 90 °C. Precision experiments showed relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of peak area and retention time were better than 2.5%; inter-day and intra-day variabilities showed that R.S.D. was ranged from 0.78% to 4.74%. Limit of detection was less than 50 μg mL⁻¹ and limit of quantification was less than 80 μg mL⁻¹. Accuracy validation showed that average recovery was between 97.39% and 104.07%. The method was validated to achieve the satisfactory precision and recovery. Relative retention time and relative peak area were used to identify the common peaks for fingerprint analysis. There are nine common peaks in the fingerprint. The quality of seven batches of D. nipponica samples was evaluated to be qualified or unqualified by the parameters “difference” and “total difference” of common peaks. Furthermore, the contents of important medicinal compounds (dioscin, prodioscin and gracillin) in different batches of D. nipponica samples were determined simultaneously using the developed HPLC-ELSD method. The results indicated variation of the herb quality which might be related to different producing area, growing condition, climate, harvest time, drug processing and so on. The developed analytical procedure was proved to be a reliable and rapid method for the quality control of D. nipponica.     

Analysis of triazine in water samples by solid-phase microextraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography

Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the determination of triazine is described. Carbowax/templated resin (CW/TPR, 50 μm), polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB, 60 μm), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS, 100 μm), and polyacrylate (PA, 85 μm) fibers were evaluated for extraction of the triazines. CW/TPR and PDMS/DVB fibers were selected for further study. Several parameters of the extraction and desorption procedure were studied and optimized (such as types of fibers, desorption mode, desorption time, compositions of solvent for desorption, soaking periods and the flow rate during desorption period, extraction time, temperature, pH, and ionic strength of samples). Both CW/TPR and PDMS/DVB fibers are acceptable; a simple calibration-curve method based on simple aqueous standards can be used. The linearity of this method for analyzing standard solution has been investigated over the range 5-1000 ng mL⁻¹ for both PDMS/DVB and CW/TPR fibers. All the correlation coefficients in the range 5-1000 ng mL⁻¹ were better than 0.995 except Simazine and Atratone by CW/TPR fiber. The R.S.D.s range from 4.4% to 8.8 % (PDMS/DVB fiber) and from 2.4% to 7.2% (CW/TPR fiber). Method-detection limits (MDL) are in the range 1.2-2.6 and 2.8-3.4 ng mL⁻¹ for the two fibers. These methods were applied to the determination of trazines in environmental water samples (lake water).     

Comparative analysis of naphthodianthrone and phloroglucine derivatives in St. John's Wort extracts by near infrared spectroscopy, high-performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis

A near infrared spectroscopic (NIRS) method is established for quantitative determination of naphthodianthrones and phloroglucine derivatives in St. John's Wort extracts. The validated NIRS method is compared with optimised liquid chromatography (LC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE), applying UV as a detection tool. Optimisation of stationary and mobile phase conditions in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC) allow separating the derivatives of interest with high peak symmetry and robustness. Elution takes 15 and 25 min on non-porous or porous silica C18 with different porosities, respectively. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is used for cross-validation of RP-LC. CE enables baseline separation of hypericine and pseudohypericine in less than 2 min, but is ten times less sensitive. The validated RP-LC is chosen as a reference method for calibration of the NIRS-system. Analysis of 80 St. John's Wort extracts (320 NIR spectra) and the subsequent chemometric calculations of the best regression model show that NIRS is suitable for analysis of hypericine, pseudohypericine and hyperforine. RP-LC or CE must be employed for the other remaining lower concentrated naphthodianthrone and phloroglucine derivatives. Hypericine and hyperforine are analysed via NIRS with a standard error of estimation (SEE) of 0.52 and 0.50 μg mL⁻¹ and standard error of prediction (SEP) of 0.64 and 0.71 μg mL⁻¹ within few seconds. The current study demonstrates the suitability of NIRS as an alternative to LC and CE for St. John's Wort producing phytopharmaceutical industry. The short analysis time of few seconds’ assures high sample throughput in routine analysis.     

Microwave-assisted extraction of scutellarin from Erigeron breviscapus Hand-Mazz and its determination by high-performance liquid chromatography

An efficient microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) technique has been developed to extract scutellarin from Erigeron breviscapus for rapid determination by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The maximum yield of scutellarin reached 1.02% in 40 min under the optimal MAE conditions with 80 °C of extraction temperature and 1:10 (w/v) of the solid/liquid ratio. The MAE showed obvious advantages in terms of short duration and high efficiency to extract scutellarin in comparison with heat-flux extraction. The mechanism of the enhanced extraction by microwave assistance was discussed by detecting particle size and specific surface area of plant materials and observing cell destruction of plant material by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the plant materials were significantly destroyed due to the cell rupture after MAE treatment. Afterward, the method validation for HPLC-UV analysis was developed. Calibration range was 0.1-100 μg mL⁻¹ for scutellarin, and correlation coefficient R was 0.9993. Limit of detection was less than 0.01 μg mL⁻¹. The intra- and inter-day relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of scutellarin detection ranged from 1.58% to 2.96% and from 3.32% to 4.19%, respectively. The recovery of the method for scutellarin ranged from 96.7% to 101.9%.     

Comparison of different extraction procedures for the comprehensive characterization of bioactive phenolic compounds in Rosmarinus officinalis by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection coupled to electrospray time-of-flight mass spectrometry

In the present work, a comparative study between two environmentally friendly and selective extraction techniques, such as supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) have been carried out focusing in the bioactive phenolic compounds present in Rosmarinus officinalis. For the analysis of the SFE and PLE extracts, a new methodology for qualitative characterization has been developed, based on the use of reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), equipped with two different detection systems coupled in series: diode array detector (DAD) and time of flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) detector connected via an electrospray ionization interface (ESI). The use of a small particle size C(18) column (1.8 μm) provided a great resolution and made possible the separation of several isomers. Moreover, UV-visible spectrophotometry is a valuable tool for identifying the class of phenolic compounds, whereas MS data enabled to structurally characterize the compounds present in the extracts. The applied methodology was useful for the determination of many well-known phenolic compounds present in R. officinalis, such as carnosol, carnosic acid, rosmadial, rosmanol, genkwanin, homoplantaginin, scutellarein, cirsimaritin and rosmarinic acid, as well as other phenolic compounds present in other species belonging to Lamiaceae family.     

Detection of indomethacin by high-performance liquid chromatography with in situ electrogenerated Mn(III) chemiluminescence detection

The determination of indomethacin (INM) in pharmaceutical and biological samples by means of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with in situ electrogenerated Mn(III) chemiluminescence (CL) detection was proposed. The method was based on the direct CL reaction of INM and Mn(III), which was in situ electrogenerated by constant current electrolysis. The chromatographic separation was carried out on Nucleosil RP-C₁₈ column (250 mm × 4.6 mm; i.d., 5 μm; pore size, 100 Å) at 20 °C. The mobile phase consisted of methanol:water:acetic acid = 67:33:0.1 solution. At a flow rate of 1.0 mL min⁻¹, the total run time was 10 min. The effects of several parameters on the HPLC resolution and CL emission were studied systematically. Under the optimal conditions, a linear range from 0.01 to 10 μg mL⁻¹(R² = 0.9991), and a detection limit of 8 ng mL⁻¹ (signal-to-noise ratio = 3) for INM were achieved. The relative standard deviations (R.S.D.) for 0.1 μg mL⁻¹ INM were 2.2% within a day (n = 11) and 3.0% on 5 consecutive days (n = 6), respectively. The recovery of INM from urine samples was more than 92%. The applicability of the method for the analysis of pharmaceutical and biological samples was examined.     

Determination of glutathione content in grape juice and wine by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection

A modified preparation of sample was developed for the determination of glutathione content in grape juice and wine by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection, using on-line pre-column derivatization. Ice-cold deoxygenated methanol was used to deactivate the oxidation enzymes in juices or wines and keep the glutathione stable. The optimum recovery of glutathione content in grape juice and wine was obtained when either the sample of grape juice or wine was mixed in ice-cold deoxygenated methanol in the ratio 10:90 (v:v) and further diluted in sodium acetate buffer in the ratio 1:1 (v:v). The optimized method was validated for linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, precision and uncertainty. According to the validation data the method is appropriate for the determination of glutathione content in grape juice and wine. Glutathione contents in grape juices made from White Muscat grapes and Sauvignon Blanc wines were analysed. The average glutathione content in 28 young Sauvignon Blanc wines was 12.5 mg L⁻¹.     

Analysis of meloxicam by high-performance liquid chromatography with cloud-point extraction

A simple cloud-point extraction method for the determination of meloxicam in human serum was developed. Meloxicam was extracted from serum sample after adding 1 mL of 3% (v/v) Triton X-114 aqueous solution in the presence of 1M HCl and 60 mg NaCl. The meloxicam, present in the surfactant-rich phase, was enriched again with acetonitrile. Tenoxicam was used as the external standard. The separation was achieved on a C18 analytical column with a mobile phase consisting of aqueous acetic acid (1%, v/v) and acetonitrile (54:46, v/v). UV detection was performed at 360 nm. The response was linear over the range 45–2000 ng mL⁻¹ in human serum, and intra- and interday precisions of less than 15.0% were obtained. The relative error was within ±3.0%. The recoveries of meloxicam were larger than 92.0%. The method was compared with liquid–liquid extraction. The results showed that the new method has a considerable LOQ and higher recoveries but poorer precision than liquid–liquid extraction, which exhibited poor recoveries of less than 86.0%, precisions of less than 5.0% and relative errors of less than 7.0%. The method was used for the determination of meloxicam in healthy human volunteers.     

Discrimination of Ganoderma lucidum according to geographical origin with near infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and pattern recognition techniques

A rapid and nondestructive near infrared (NIR) method combined with chemometrics was used to discriminate Ganoderma lucidum according to cultivation area. Raw, first, and second derivative NIR spectra were compared to develop a robust classification rule. The chemical properties of G. lucidum samples were also investigated to find out the difference between samples from six varied origins. It could be found that the amount of polysaccharides and triterpenoid saponins in G. lucidum samples was considerably different based on cultivation area. These differences make NIR spectroscopic method viable. Principal component analysis (PCA), discriminant partial least-squares (DPLS) and discriminant analysis (DA) were applied to classify the geographical origins of those samples. The results showed that excellent classification could be obtained after optimizing spectral pre-treatment. For the discriminating of samples from three different provinces, DPLS provided 100% correct classifications. Moreover, for samples from six different locations, the correct classifications of the calibration as well as the validation data set were 96.6% using the DA method after the SNV first derivative spectral pre-treatment. Overall, NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy using pattern recognition was shown to have significant potential as a rapid and accurate method for the identification of herbal medicines.     

Determination of itopride hydrochloride by high-performance liquid chromatography with Ru(bpy)3 electrogenerated chemiluminescence detection

In this work, a stable electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) detector was developed. The detector was prepared by packing cation-exchanged resin particles in a glass tube, followed by inserting Pt wires (working electrode) in this tube and sealing. The leakage of Ru(bpy)₃²⁺ can be compensated by adding a small amount of Ru(bpy)₃²⁺ into solution phase. Coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography separation, the detector has been used for determination of itopride hydrochloride in human serum. Under the optimal conditions, the ECL intensity has a linear relationship with the concentration of itopride hydrochloride in the range of 1.0 × 10⁻⁸ g mL⁻¹ to 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ g mL⁻¹ and the detection limit was 3 × 10⁻⁹ g mL⁻¹ (S/N = 3). The as-prepared ECL detector displayed good sensitivity and stability.     

Species differentiation and quality assessment of Radix Paeoniae Rubra (Chi-shao) by means of high-performance liquid chromatographic fingerprint

There are two species under the monograph of Radix Paeoniae Rubrae ("Chi-shao" in Chinese) in Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2005 edition-Paeonia lactiflora Pallas and Paeonia veitchii Lynch. Due to different species and growing conditions, there are significant chemical differences between the two species, which may result in the improper clinical usage under the same name. Chemical pattern expressed by high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) fingerprint analysis can play an important role in species differentiation and quality control of Radix Paeoniae Rubra. In the present work, HPLC fingerprints of two kinds of Radix Paeoniae Rubra have been established and analysed with chemometric methods including similarity evaluation and principal component analysis. Both of the fingerprint common patterns of the two species comprise 13 characteristic peaks, nine of which were common peaks of the two species. However, significant differences between the roots of P. veitchii and P. lactiflora exist not only in the content of certain constituents, especially phenolic acids but also in peak-to-peak ratios expressed by the fingerprint patterns. According to the recent pharmacological studies on polyphenolic constituents, root originating from P. veitchii may possess better efficacy and quality than that from P. lactiflora. Our research reveals that further pharmacological investigation is very necessary to determine whether the two species should be embodied under the same monograph in Chinese Pharmacopoeia.     

Determination of macrolide antibiotics in porcine and bovine urine by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to coulometric detection

A high-performance liquid chromatography method coupled to coulometric detection has been applied for the determination, in a single run, of up to eight macrolide antibiotics (erythromycin [ERY], tylosin [TYL], tilmicosin [TILM], spiramycin 2 [SPI 2], spiramycin 3 [SPI 3], josamycin [JOS], kitasamycin [KIT], and rosamicin [ROS]) in spiked porcine and bovine urine. Quantification was performed using matrix-matched calibration with roxithromycin (ROX) as the internal standard. The detection limits for each drug were below 3.5 ng injected (equivalent to an initial concentration below 0.07 mg L^–1) for porcine urine and below 5 ng injected (equivalent to an initial concentration below 0.10 mg L^–1) for bovine urine. Recoveries from urine samples spiked at three different concentrations within the linear range were not significantly dependent on concentration. The entire procedure provides average macrolide recoveries ranging from 69.7 to 96.6% for bovine urine and from 75.5 and 96.1% for porcine urine.     

Discrimination of Scrophulariae Radix according to geographical origin and determination of active constituents by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)

The potential of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIR) was investigated for its ability to non-destructively discriminate the geographic origins of Scrophularia spp., Andong, Uisung and China. Application of principal component analysis to NIR spectra leads to a clear separation of Andong sample from the others. Moreover, the contents of two neuroprotective constituents of Scrophularia spp., 8-O-(E-p-methoxycinnamoyl)-harpagide (HG), and E-p-methoxycinnamic acid (MCA), were determined by HPLC-DAD. Partial least squares (PLS) regression of NIR spectra combined with these analytical reference data yield the development of calibration models for the contents of the two constituents. The correlation coefficients of prediction models for HG and MCA were > 0.87. These outcomes indicated that the NIRS could be useful for the discrimination of Scrophularia spp.     

Analysis of four alkaloids of Coptis chinensis in rat plasma by high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection

A sensitive and precise high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-electrochemical detection (ECD) method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of four isoquinoline alkaloids including berberine, jatrorrhizine, coptisine and palmatine in Chinese medicine Coptis chinensis. The typical HPLC analysis was performed on WondaSil^® C18-WR column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with the mobile phase comprising 40 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0)–acetonitrile (40:60, v/v) at the flow rate of 0.8 mL min⁻¹. The electrochemical detection employed a three electrode system with a bare glassy carbon electrode at +1.3 V versus the Ag/AgCl reference electrode. The limits of detection (LODs) of four alkaloids ranged from 0.01 to 0.03 μmol L⁻¹ and the LOD of berberine was 80 times lower than LOD obtained by UV detection. The rat plasma samples were assayed after oral administration of the traditional Chinese medicine Coptis chinensis by the proposed HPLC-ECD method. The recoveries of this method were ranging from 88.0 to 116%, with the relative standard deviation lower than 3.1% for intra-day precision and 5.7% for inter-day precision. These results show that HPLC-ECD is a useful tool for the quality control of herbal medicine Coptis chinensis and also for pharmacokinetic studies.     

Dissipation rates of saisentong residues in fresh tobacco,tobacco powder and soil determined by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detection

Two independent field trials were performed in Guizhou and Hunan, China in 2013 to investigate the dissipation and residue levels of saisentong in tobacco and soil. A novel and accurate method using high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection was developed and validated to determine saisentong levels in tobacco and soil. The average recovery of saisentong at fortification levels of 0.5, 2.5, 5.0 and 50.0 mg kg^?1 in fresh tobacco ranged from 75.92 to 107.40% with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.94 to 7.55%, that at fortification levels of 0.5, 2.0 and 5.0 mg kg^?1 in tobacco powder ranged from 74.96 to 94.43% with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 4.38 to 8.14%, and that at fortification levels of 0.1, 0.5 and 5.0 mg kg^?1 in soil ranged from 86.90 to 100.0% with an RSD of 1.38 to 4.62%. The limit of detection (LOD) of saisentong was 0.15 mg?kg^?1 in tobacco and 0.03 mg kg^?1 in soil, and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.5 mg kg^?1 in tobacco and 0.1 mg kg^?1 in soil, respectively. For field experiments, the half-lives of saisentong in tobacco from Guizhou and Hunan were 5.9 and 1.6 days, respectively; those in soil were 14.7 and 12.0 days, respectively. The results suggest that the saisentong dissipation curves followed the first-order kinetic. The terminal residues of saisengtong in tobacco ranged from 0.5 to 9.39 mg kg^?1 at pre-harvest intervals (PHI) of 7, 14 and 21 days.     

Simultaneous analysis of aspartame and its hydrolysis products of Coca-Cola Zero by on-line postcolumn derivation fluorescence detection and ultraviolet detection coupled two-dimensional high-performance liquid chromatography

An innovative two-dimensional high-performance liquid chromatography system was developed for the simultaneous analysis of aspartame and its hydrolysis products of Coca-Cola Zero. A C8 reversed-phase chromatographic column with ultraviolet detection was used as the first dimension for the determination of aspartame, and a ligand-exchange chromatographic column with on-line postcolumn derivation fluorescence detection was employed as the second dimension for the analysis of amino acid enantiomers. The fluorimetric derivative reagent of amino acid enantiomers was o-phthaldialdehyde. The hydrolysis of aspartame in Coca-Cola Zero was induced by electric-heating or microwave heating. Aspartame was quantified by the matrix matched external standard calibration curve with a linear concentration range of 0-50 μg mL(-1) (r(2)=0.9984). The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) were 1.3 μg mL(-1) and 4.3 μg mL(-1), respectively. The amino acid enantiomers was analyzed by the matrix matched internal standard calibration method (D-leucine as the internal standard) with a linear concentration range of 0-10 μg mL(-1) (r(2)=0.9988-0.9997). The LODs and LOQs for L- and D-aspartic acid and L- and D-phenylalanine were 0.16-0.17 μg mL(-1) and 0.52-0.55 μg mL(-1), respectively, that was 12-13 times more sensitive than ultraviolet detection. The overall analysis accuracy for aspartame and amino acid enantiomers was 90.2-99.2% and 90.4-96.2%, respectively. The overall analysis precision for aspartame and amino acid enantiomers was 0.1-1.7% and 0.5-6.7%, respectively. Generally, the extent of aspartame hydrolysis increases with the increase of electro-thermal temperature, microwave power, and the duration of hydrolysis time. D-aspartic acid and D-phenylalanine can be observed with the electro-thermal racemization at the hydrolysis temperature 120°C for 1 day and only D-aspartic acid can be observed at the hydrolysis temperature 90°C for 2 and 3 days. For the microwave induced hydrolysis, only L-aspartic acid was detected at the power 560 W for 1 min and 320 W for 3 min.

A simple, rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed for the analysis of the sesquiterpene lactone 15-deoxygoyazensolide (LAC15-D) in rat plasma samples. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a LiChrospher^® RP18 column using methanol:water (50:50, v/v) containing 0.6% acetic acid as mobile phase, at a flow rate of 0.7 mL min⁻¹. UV detection was carried out at 270 nm. Phenytoin was used as internal standard. Prior to the analysis, the rat plasma samples were submitted to liquid-liquid extraction with dichloromethane. The mean absolute recoveries were 73% with R.S.D. values lower than 3.5. The method was linear over the 6.0-2000 ng mL⁻¹ concentration range and the quantification limit was 6.0 ng mL⁻¹. Within-day and between-day assay precision and accuracy were studied at three concentration levels (15, 300 and 480 ng mL⁻¹) and were lower than 15%. The validated method was used to measure the plasmatic concentration of LAC15-D in rats that received a single intraperitoneal dose of 30 mg kg⁻¹.

Isomangiferin was isolated from Cyclopia subternata using a multi-step process including extraction, liquid–liquid partitioning, high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) and semi-preparative reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Enrichment of phenolic compounds in a methanol extract of C. subternata leaves was conducted using liquid–liquid partitioning with ethyl acetate–methanol–water (1:1:2, v/v). The enriched fraction was further fractionated using HSCCC with a ternary solvent system consisting of tert-butyl methyl ether–n-butanol–acetonitrile–water (3:1:1:5, v/v). Isomangiferin was isolated by semi-preparative reversed-phase HPLC from a fraction containing mostly mangiferin and isomangiferin. The chemical structure of isomangiferin was confirmed by LC–high-resolution electrospray ionization MS, as well as one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy.
