Principal Components Analysis in Determination of Seven Chemical Constituents in Different Parts and Collecting Time of Sarcandra glabra by HPLC / 中国药学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To develop an HPLC method for simultaneous determination of seven active constituents including neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucuronide, isofraxidin, kaempferol-3-O-β-D-glucuronide and rosmarinic acid in different parts and various collecting time of Sarcandra glabra. METHODS: The DIKMA Diamonsil C18 (4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm) column was used. acetonitrile(A) -0.2% phosphoric acid(B) was used as the mobile phase with gradient elution(0 - 10 min, 5% A→15% A; 11 - 18 min, 15% A→25% A; 18 - 25 min, 25% A; 25 - 40 min, 25% A→40% A), at a flow rate of 1.0 mL•min-1. The detection wavelength was set at 344 nm and the column temperature was maintained at 35 ℃. RESULTS: The calibration curves of neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucuronide, isofraxidin, kaempferol-3-O-β-D-glucuronide and rosmarinic acid were in good linearity over 9.32 - 466.00, 11.25 - 562.50, 10.94 - 547.00, 8.68 - 434.00, 10.48 - 524.00, 9.66 - 483.00 and 10.86 - 543. 00 μg•mL-1 (r = 0.999 6 - 0.999 9), respectively. The average recoveries (n = 6) were in the range of 99.0% - 101.5% and RSD were in the range of 0.85% - 1.8%. The optimal parts and collecting time of Sarcandra glabra are aerial parts and from September to November according to the comprehensive evaluation. CONCLUSION: The method is precise and reliable, can be used to determin the content of seven chemical constituents in Sarcandra glabra and provide a reference for collecting in cultivate area.
