RESUMEN
A method was developed for the simultaneous determination of 17 characteristic ingredients of plant extracts, including paeoniflorin, hydroxysafflor yellow A, calycosin_7_glucoside ferulic acid, etc. , in hair growth cosmetics using ultra high performance liquid chromatography ( UPLC ) . Different cosmetic samples were extracted by ultrasonic_assisted extraction with the solvent of methanol/water (4∶1, V/V) solution. After demulsified by the addition of appropriate amount of NaCl and high speed centrifugation, the supernatant was transferred and analyzed with UPLC. The separation was conducted on a Waters reversed phase column of ACQUITY UPLC CSH C18(50 mm×2. 1 mm, 1. 7μm), and the mobile phases were methanol and the solution of 0. 05% phosphate in water. The detection was performed with a photodiode_array ( PDA) detector. The linear range was 0 . 2-25 mg/L with correlation coefficients higher than 0 . 999 . The limits of detection were within 0. 3-1. 5 mg/kg, and the limits of quantification were from 1. 0 to 4. 0 mg/kg. The average recoveries of 17 characteristic ingredients were within 93 . 5%-105 . 0%, with the intra_and inter_day precision ( n=6 ) less than 4. 6%. This method was simple, rapid, with good_repeatability, and had been applied to the analysis of real samples.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE:To study the chemical constitutes of Ligusticum chuanxiong and to establish the method for the content determination of ligustilide. METHODS:The compounds were extracted and percolated by ethanol. Then the samples were separated using silica gel and identified by 1H-NMR,13C-NMR data.HPLC was used to assay the contents of ligustilide. RESULTS:Three compounds were isolated and their structures were identified as Z-ligustilide,Z-6,8',7,3'-diligustilide and Z,Z'-6,6',7,3'a-diligustilide. The contents of ligustilide were no less than 0.70%.CONCLUSION:The separation method can be used to prepare high-purity ligustilide reference substance. And the determination method can be used for quality control of L. chuanxiong.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE:To establish the quality creteria of Dendrobium denneanum cultivated in Sichuan.METHODS: The reference substance had been isolated and identified.HPLC and TLC were applied for determination and identification respectively.RESULTS: The coumarin control had been successfully isolated and the TLC spots were clear.The linear range of coumarin was 0.096～0.480 ?g with an average recovery of 99.1%(RSD=1.44%,n=6).CONCLUSION: The results can overall reflect the internal quality of D.denneanum cultivated in Sichuan and provide basis for quality evaluation and development of D.denneanum from Sichuan.
