ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker (QAMS) for determining contents of six gastrodin compositions in Gastrodia elata, gastrodin, p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, parishin A, parishin B, parishin C and parishin E. Methods Separation was carried out on Agilent Zorbax SB-C18 Column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) by using acetonitrile (A)-0.05% Phosphoric acid aqueous solution (B) as the mobile phase, and a linear gradient elution was employed (0-5 min, 2% A, 5-20 min, 2%-30% A, 20-25 min, 30%-2% A) with detection wavelength at 220 nm, flow velocity at 1.0 mL/minand column temperature at 25 ℃. Five relative correction factors (RCFs) of the five compositions using gastrodin as the internal standard were applied to determine their contents in all samples It was established to determine the contents of gastrodin, p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, parishin A, parishin B, parishin C, parishin E by the external standard method (ESM) at the same time. The feasibility and accuracy of QAMS method were verified by comparing the content results determined by ESM and QAMS. Results Within the linear range, the RCFs of gastrodin, p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, parishin A, parishin B, parishin C, parishin E were 0.663, 1.278, 1.435 and 1.591, respectively, with good repeatability in different experimental conditions. There was no significant difference between the QAMS method and ESM method. Conclusion The QAMS method is feasible and accurate for the determination of the six chemical compositions, and which can be used for quality control of G. elata.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish the analysis method of UPLC fingerprint and simultaneous determination of five active components (gastrodin, 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, parishin B, parishin C, and parishin A). Methods The analysis was performed on a Waters Acquity with a Waters ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 (50 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) column. The gradient mobile phase was acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid-water solution, flow rate was set at 0.3 mL/min, the injection volume was 0.2 μL and the temperature of column was 35 ℃. The detection wavelengths were set at 270 nm (fingerprint), 220 nm (content determination). The 28 batches of samples fingerprint were analyzed by similarity evaluation, principal component analysis (PCA), and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). The identification and content determination of the main common peaks were carried out by comparison with reference. Results We set up the common mode of the fingerprint with 20 common peaks, and six of them were identified, which were gastrodin (1), 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (3), p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (7), parishin B (14), parishin C (15), and parishin A (18). The similarities among 28 samples were all above 0.90. PCA was used to divide the samples into five groups, and six different substances were found. The content of the same component and the fluctuation range among different components were all different. The content of the five components of each origin was Guizhou 2.52% > Yunnan 2.49% > Shaanxi 2.33% > Hubei 2.10% > Zhejiang 1.90% > Anhui 1.65%.Conclusion The establishment of UPLC fingerprint and simultaneous determination of five active components provide a reference for quality control of Gastrodia Rhizoma.
ABSTRACT
AIM To develop a RP-HPLC method for the simultaneous content determination of five constituents in wild Gastrodia elata Blume,G.elata Bl.form.glauca S.Chow,G.elata Bl.form.elata and G.elata Bl.form.flavida S.Chow from seven growing areas (Zhaotong and Lijiang in Yunan,Lu'an in Anhui,Hanzhong in Shannxi,Dejiang in Guizhou,Guangyuan in Sichuan,and Yichang in Hubei).METHODS The analysis of Gastrodiae Rhizoma 70％ methanol extract was performed on a 35 ℃ thermostatic Waters Sunfire C18 column (4.6 mm ×250 mm,5 μm),with the mobile phase comprising of methanol-0.1％ formic acid flowing at 1.0 mL/min in a gradient elution manner,and the detection wavelength was set at 270 nm.RESULTS Adenosine,gastrodin,4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol,4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and parishin A showed good linear relationships within their own ranges (r≥0.999 5),whose average recoveries were 99.34％-101.33％ with the RSDs of 1.85％-3.28％.Their contents were the highest in G.elata Bl.form.glauca S.Chow cultivated in Zhaotong (collected in 2013),Lu'an (collected in 2013),Yichang (collected in 2013),Zhaotong (collected in 2014) and Yichang (collected in 2013),respectively,and the total content was the highest in G.elata Bl.form.glauca S.Chow cultivated in Yichang (collected in 2013).CONCLUSION This accurate,sensitive and reliable method can be used for the quality control of Gastrodiae Rhizoma.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To optimize the integrative technology of primary processing for Gastrodiae Rhizoma by response surface methodology. Methods: The single factor experiment combined with Box-Behnken design was used to optimize the integrative technology, with five major characteristic components (gastrodin, parishin A, parishin B, parishin C, and parishin E) as indexes, in order to detect three factors (steaming time, drying time, and drying temperature), and optimize the primary processing of Gastrodiae Rhizoma. Results: Optimum percolation process was as follows: Gastrodiae Rhizoma was steamed for 30 min, and dried for 12 h at 60℃. Conclusion: This optimized integrative technology of Gastrodiae Rhizoma is reasonable and feasible, and with high accuracy. It could provide the scientific basis and innovative idea to the large-scale production of decoction pieces of Chinese Materia Medica.
