Comparison of fingerprints of triterpene acid in the leaves and the seeds of Lagerstroemia specious L by HPLC/UV/MS / 中成药

ABSTRACT

AIM To develop a comparative method for studying on the HPLC/UV/MS fingerprints of triterpene acid in the leaves and the seeds of Lagerstroemia specious L. METHODS Separation was performed on LunaC_ 18 (2.6 mm?250 mm, 5 ?)analytical column, The mobile phase was composed of acetonitrile and 0.1 % formic acid as gradient eluent. The flow rate was 1.0 ml?min -1 . RESULTS Both of corosolic acid and maslinic acid existed in the leaves and the seeds of Lagerstroemia specious L. Ursolic acid existed in the leaves and the oleanolic acid contained in the seeds of Lagerstroemia speciouswere L. CONCLUSION The method can be used for quality control of the leaves and the seeds of Lagerstroemia specious L.
