Digitized fingerprints of Ixeris Sonchifolia Hance Injection by HPLC / 中成药

ABSTRACT

AIM:To establish a HPLC diagitized fingerprint for Ixeris sonchifolia Hance Injection to serve as a digitized method criteria for its overall quality control. METHODS: The chromatographic fingerprints were obtained by injecting 20 ?L of the sample solution each time on a Century SIL BDS column (250 mm?4.6 mm, 5 ?m) with the gradient elution solvent system composed of 1% acetic acid water and 1% acetic acid acetonitrile. The flow rate was 1 mL/min, the column temperature was maintained at (30?0.15)℃ and the detection wavelength was set at 265 nm. The chromatographic fingerprints were charateristically digitized and evaluated by the software of the digitized evaluation system of traditional Chinese medicine fingerprint with the super information characteristics to give the 42 parameters such as chromatographic fingerprint index (F), chromatographic fingerprint resolution index (RF), which could thoroughly disclose the hidden information in the fingerprints. Meanwhile, the apparent molecular weight, the peak position, the elution fore index and the pseudo peak area were marked in terms of the principle of QSPR when the two peaks were selected as the reference peaks. RESULTS: 21 co-possessing peaks were selected as the fingerprint peaks of Ixeris sonchifolia Hance Injection by taking caffeic acid peak as the reference peak to establish the digitized fingerprint and obtain the important digital information about its quanlity control. The stabilities among different batches of samples were evaluated by the dual qualitative and dual quantitative similarity method. CONCLUSION: This new digitized fingerprint method with good precision and reproducibility can be perfectly applied to the quality control over Ixeris sonchifolia Hance Injection. Digitized fingerprint obtained from the dual qualitative and dual quantitative similarity method maybe extend further to assess and control the quanlity of TCM.
