ABSTRACT
Objective: To establish multiwavelength HPLC fingerprint of Aurea helianthus from different batches, and combine quantitative analysis, similarity evaluation, cluster analysis, and principal component analysis to evaluate the quality of A. helianthus. Methods: The chromatographic column was Phenomenex Kinetex C18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was composed of 0.08% phosphoric acid water (A) and acetonitrile (B) in gradient elution at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, the detection wavelength was set at 260 nm for protocatechuic acid during 0-8 min, 324 nm for caffeic acid during 8-15 min, 360 nm for rutin, hyperin, isoquercitrin, gossypetin-8-O-β-D-glucuronide, myricetin, quercetin-3’-O-glucoside, and quercetin during 15-60 min. The column temperature was set at 30 oC. And the HPLC fingerprint of A. helianthus was established by the similarity evaluation system for chromatographic fingerprint of TCM (Version 2004A) and SPSS19.0, which was used for similarity evaluation, cluster analysis, and principal component analysis. Results: A total of 25 common peaks were confirmed of A. helianthus HPLC fingerprint, and nine peaks were identified which were determined. The similarity of 16 batches of samples was between 0.879 and 0.983; The results of cluster analysis showed that A. helianthus was clustered into two groups, indicating that there were differences in the similarity; Ranked the quality of A. helianthus based on the main component composite score. Conclusion: The method is simple and accurate, which can be used for the comprehensive quality evaluation research of the medicinal materials of A. helianthus.
ABSTRACT
Modern research showed that components in the dried leaf of Cyclocarya paliurus. had various biological activities. The current quality control research was focused on content determination of polysaccharides and flavonoids, while there were less research on quantitative analysis of terpenes and phenolic acids. In this paper, the contents of 16 components of 3 kinds in C. paliurus leaf were determined by UPLC-QE-Orbitrap-MS. The results were as following: good linear relationship of 16 analytes existed within the studied concentration rages (²>0.996), and RSDs were of <3.0% in the precision test and replicate test, with the average recovery rates 95.20%-104.4%, respectively. The results indicatod that the method is simple and accurate, which can be used for the comprehensive quality evaluation of C. paliurus leaf. The established method was applied to determine the contents of 12 batches of C. paliurus leaf from different areas, and the 16 analvtes contents in the samples could be different from several times to dozens times, which indicated that there might be significant quality difference in C. paliurus leaf from different areas.

This paper studied the HPLC and NIRS fingerprints of Chrysanthemum with different processing methods, including directly drying, drying after steamed, and drying after fried. The method of discriminant analysis of TQ software was used to analysis the NIRS fingerprint of Chrysanthemum with three different processing methods, and the results were consistent with HPLC fingerprint similarity analysis. NIRS and HPLC fingerprints were of different characteristics, and the combination of the two methods can quickly and accurately identify Chrysanthemum with different processing methods.
