Study on HPLC chromatographic fingerprint of anti-tumor active site SSCE of Caulis spatholobi / 中国中药杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish the chromatographic fingerprints for the anti-tumor flavonoids of Caulis spatholobi (SSCE). It could used to reflect the chemical information in this part comprehensively, and identify the chemical consitituents preliminarily.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The HPLC-DAD analysis method was performed on the column Kromasil 100-5PHENYL (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm). The mobile phase was water (0.5% acetic acid)- methanol in gradient elution and the detection wavelength was 254 nm.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The chromatographic fingerprint of SSCE was established, which showed 16 characteristic peaks from 10 batches of medicinal materials. Among them, the peaks 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, and 16 were identified 3,4-dihodroxybenzoic acid, 4-Hydroxybenzoic Acid, epicatechin, puerarin, daidzein, liquiritigenin, calycosin, genistein, formononetin, and prunetin, respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The method is convenient, reproducibility and stability. It can used for quality control of the anti-tumor flavonoids of C. spatholobi (SSCE).</p>
