The relative quantitative method of HPLC digitized fingerprints for Fructus Gardeniae / 中成药

ABSTRACT

AIM: To explore a relative quantitative method by establishing HPLC digitized fingerprints of Fructus Gardeniae and taking the control medicinal material as a reference substance. METHODS: The chromatographic fingerprints were obtained by injecting the sample solution each time on a CenturySIL C_(18) BDS column (20 cm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) with the gradient elution solvent system composed of 1% acetate acid-water and 1% acetate acid-acetonitrile.The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min,the column temperature was maintained at(30?0.15) ℃ and the detection wavelength was set at 265 nm.The HPLC fingerprints of the control medicinal material for Fructus Gardeniae were obtained under different injection volumes and calculated by "the digitized evaluation system of the traditional Chinese medicine fingerprint with the super-information characteristics".Equivalent regression curves were obained by making linear regression between the fingerprint peak areas and apparent injection amounts.(RESULTS:) 35 co-possessing peaks were selected as the fingerprint peaks of Fructus Gardeniae by taking Geniposide peak as the reference peak.Both the equivalent relation between each of the ten places and control medicinal material of Fructus Gardeniae and the equivalent relation between each fingerprint peak of different places and that of Fructus Gardeniae control medicinal material were calculated by equivalent regression curves. CONCLUSION: This method can be useful in the quality control of Fructus Gardeniae.It is also of importantance in deeply studying the relative amounts of single fingerprint peak,and it provides reference value in extending the quantitative evaluation methods of TCM.
