ABSTRACT
Objective:To comprehensively evaluate the quality of Herba Clematidis Intricatae through HPLC multi-index components, chemometrics combined with EW-TOPSIS. Methods:A total of 18 batches of Herba Clematidis Intricatae samples from seven provinces were collected. Contents of luteolin-7-O-glucoside, rutoside, hyperoside, quercitrin, quercetin, luteolin, apigenin and kaempferol in Herba Clematidis Intricatae were simultaneously determined by HPLC. Chemometrics method was used to comprehensively analyze the content determination results, and the main potential markers affecting the quality of Herba Clematidis Intricatae were analyzed. The quality of Herba Clematidis Intricatae from different origins was evaluated. Results:The eight components showed good linear relationships within their respective ranges ( r≥0.999 1), and accuracy was good ( RSD<2.0%). The chemometrics method showed that 18 batches of Herba Clematidis Intricatae could be clustered into 3 categories, showing certain regional differences. Rutoside, hyperoside and luteolin-7-O-glucoside were the indicative components affecting the difference of chemical constituents in Herba Clematidis Intricatae; results of EW-TOPSIS method showed that the optimum quality of Herba Clematidis Intricatae from Inner Mongolia and Liaoning, followed by those of Hebei, Shanxi and Shanxi, and lowest in Qinghai and Gansu. Conclusion:The established HPLC method is convenient and accurate, and combined with chemometrics and EW-TOPSIS method can be used for the comprehensive evaluation of the quality of Herba Clematidis Intricatae.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To establish the HPLC fingerprints for Herba clematidis in northeast. METHODS:HPLC was per-formed on the column of Hedera ODS-2 C18 with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.5% phosphoric acid solution(gradient elution)at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min,detection wavelength was 338 nm,column temperature was 30 ℃,and the injection volume was 20 μL. Using rutin as as a reference,the HPLC profiles of 10 batches of H. clematidis were determined,Similarity Evaluation Software for Chromatographic Fingerprint of Traditional Chinese Medicine(2004A edition) was used for the common peaks identification and similarity evaluation. RESULTS:There were 16 common peaks in the 10 batches of H. clematidis,similarity degree was higher than 0.9. It was proved that the HPLC profiles and control fingerprint profile of 10 batches of H. clematidis had good consistency. CONCLUSIONS:The established fingerprints can provide reference for the identification and quality evaluation of H. clematidis in northeast.
