HPLC fingerprints of processed products from Sinapis alba / 中国中药杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish the HPLC fingerprint method and compare the changes of chemical compositions of the processed products from Sinapis alba.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The procedure of HPLC analysis was performed on a agilent TC-C18 (2) column at 35 degrees C with the acetonitrile -0.1% phosphoric acid in gradient elution as the mobile phase. The detection wavelength was set at 254 nm, and the flow rate was 1.0 mL x min(-1). The similarity evaluation system for chromatographic fingerprint of traditional Chinese medicine (Version 2004 A) was applied to analyze the similarity.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The average similarities among the processed products were over 0.96, the standard HPLC fingerprint and five main chromatographic peaks with the isolated compounds was obtained and identified.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The established methods with two solvents are suitable for the HPLC fingerprints determination which elementary elucidate the scientific intensions of breaking the enzyme for glycosides.</p>
