Elucidation of Chemical Interactions between Crude Drugs Using Quantitative Thin-Layer Chromatography Analysis

To elucidate the interactions between crude drugs in Kampo medicines (traditional Japanese medicines), it is important to determine the content of the constituents in a cost-effective and simple manner. In this study, we quantified the constituents in crude drug extracts using thin-layer chromatography (TLC), an inexpensive and simple analytical method, to elucidate the chemical interactions between crude drugs. We focused on five crude drugs, for which quantitative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods are stipulated in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia XVIII (JP XVIII) and compared the analytical data of HPLC and TLC, confirming that the TLC results corresponded with the HPLC data and satisfied the criteria of JP XVIII. (Z)-ligustilide, a major constituent in Japanese Angelica Root, for which a method of quantification has not been stipulated in JP XVIII, was also quantitatively analyzed using HPLC and TLC. Furthermore, Japanese Angelica Root was combined with 26 crude drugs to observe the variation in the (Z)-ligustilide content from each combination by TLC. The results revealed that combinations with Phellodendron Bark, Citrus Unshiu Peel, Scutellaria Root, Coptis Rhizome, Gardenia Fruit, and Peony Root increased the (Z)-ligustilide content. Quantifying the constituents in crude drug extracts using the inexpensive and simple TLC method can contribute to elucidating interactions between crude drugs in Kampo medicines, as proposed by the herbal-pair theory.

Rapid Characterization of the major chemical constituents from Polygoni Multiflori Caulis by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and comparative analysis with Polygoni Multiflori Radix

Polygoni Multiflori Caulis is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been used for a long time to treat sleep disorders. However, the multiple chemical composition analysis has not been reported. In this study, a simple, rapid and effective ultra‐high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry method was established to characterize the components of Polygoni Multiflori Caulis. In addition, a chemical comparative analysis was performed with Polygoni Multiflori Radix, another traditional Chinese medicine from the same plant, through multivariate statistical analysis and semi‐quantitative analysis to screen the difference in chemical ingredients between these two herbal medicines from same medicinal plant. A total of 33 peaks were detected within 25 min, and 28 of them were identified or tentatively characterized by comparing the retention time and mass spectrometry data. Based on the results, 12 characteristic components were screened out by multivariate statistical analysis, and their content change trends were compared by semi‐quantitative analysis.

Spectral correlative chromatography and its application to analysis of chromatographic fingerprints of herbal medicines

A signal-processing method known as spectral correlative chromatography (SCC) for two-dimensional data obtained from hyphenated chromatography is developed and applied to chemical chromatographic fingerprint data sets of herbal medicine under specific experimental conditions. The method can judge the presence or absence of a spectral correlative peak among the spectrochromatograms. A local least squares regression model (LLS) is constructed in a piecewise manner to correct the shifts of retention time of some peaks of interest in the chromatograms of various test samples. The results compare favorably with those obtained by a two-point calibrated algorithm. It is shown that performing SCC and LLS on the piecewise clusters of various chromatographic fingerprints is more helpful in practice in revealing their common nature and for characterizing the chemical constituents. This approach holds great potential for facilitating quality control of herbal medicines.     

High‐throughput LC–MS method for the rapid characterization of multiple chemical constituents and metabolites of Da‐Bu‐Yin‐Wan

Traditional Chinese medicine is the clinical experience accumulated by Chinese people against diseases. Da‐Bu‐Yin‐Wan is a famous traditional Chinese medicine formula consisting of Phellodendri amurensis Rupr., Anemarrhenae asphodeloides Bge., Radix Rehmanniae Preparata and Chinemys reevesii . In this study, ultra high performance liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization quadrupole time‐of‐flight high‐definition mass spectrometry with the control software of Masslynx (V4.1) was established for comprehensive screening and identification of the chemical constituents and serum metabolites of Da‐Bu‐Yin‐Wan in vivo and in vitro. Consequently, 70 peaks in the methanol extract from Da‐Bu‐Yin‐Wan and 38 peaks absorbed into rat blood were characterized. The 70 constituents in vitro included alkaloids, flavonoids, polysaccharide, limonoids, flavonoid, etc. And the 38 constituents consist of 22 absorbed prototypes and 16 metabolites of Da‐Bu‐Yin‐Wan absorbed in vivo. We fully clarified the chemical constituents of Da‐Bu‐Yin‐Wan and provided a scientific strategy for the screening and characterization of the chemical constituents and metabolites of traditional Chinese medicine in vitro and in vivo.     

Fingerprint Studies of Radix Scutellariae by Capillary Electrophoresis and High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Two methods based on capillary electrophoresis (CE) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are described to establish fingerprints of Radix Scutellariae simultaneously. In order to choose an appropriate extraction method, Radix Scutellariae samples extracted by different methods were determined by HPLC. The contents of baicalin, the quality marker of Radix Scutellariae, as well as the number of peaks in the chromatograms were determined to evaluate the extraction methods. 10 batches of Radix Scutellariae collected from different regions in China were applied to establish the fingerprints. Eleven common peaks were isolated within 12 min by CE. The fingerprints obtained with HPLC consisted of 14 common peaks within 40 min. The two proposed methods demonstrated good stability and reproducibility with RSD less than 4% for relative migration time in CE and retention time in HPLC. Finally, the data from the 10 batches of Radix Scutellariae by CE and HPLC were all processed with two kinds of mathematical methods including correlation coefficient and the included angle cosine. The fingerprints of Radix Scutellariae established with CE and HPLC are suitable to identify and differentiate samples by geographical origin and can used for quality control.
