ABSTRACT
AIM:To develop a new method to determine cucurbitacin B in Pedicellus Melo by capillary zone(electrophoresis(CZE).) METHODS:All the samples were analysed on a fused silica capillary(75 cm?75 ?m I.D.) by using 50 mmol/L sodium borate solution(containing 5% acetonitrile) as the background electrolyte with the running voltage at 12.0 kV and detection wavelength of 265 nm.And clorprenaline hydrochloride was applied as the internal standard. RESULTS:The results showed a good linear correlation between relative peak area of cucurbitacin B(y) and its concentration(x) over the range of 0.15～1.2 mg/mL.Regression equation was y=(0.003 4x)+0.058,r=0.999 7,and the average recovery for baicalin was 100.2% with the RSD at(2.11%). CONCLUSION:The method is rapid,simple,reproducible and produces low pollution.It serves as a novel way to determine cucurbitacin B.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To establish the assessing method of traditional Chinese medicine chromatogrphic fingerprints by the involution similarity and quantitative involution similarity and its application. METHODS: The fingerprint of Ginkgo biloba L.extract(GBE) was evaluated by the involution similarity and quantitative involution similarity,and the contrast studies were implemented by other appraisal targets,eg.the included angle cosine S_F,the correlation coefficient r and the indexes with quantitative characteristic,such as the apparently quantitative similarity R%、the average mass percent M%,etc.. RESULTS: The involution similarity could reflect the similarity change in each sample from different bathes and be of quantitative function.The quantitative involution similarity and quantitative weighted similarity could perfectly reflect the changes in contents of the consituents of GBE. CONCLUSION: The involution similarity and quantitative involution similarity can qualitatively and quantitatively assess the similarity between sample and the referential fingerprint.They are certainly the novel method of evaluating the traditional Chinese medicine chromatographic fingerprints.
