ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE： To establish a method for simultaneous determination of spinosin and jujuboside A in the seads of Ziziphus jujuba， and to investigate its quality grading standard. METHODS： HPLC-ELSD method was adopted. The separation was carried out on Inertsil ODS-SP column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-water （gradient elution） at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The column temperature was 30 ℃， the temperature of drift tube was 90 ℃， the flow of carrier gas was 2.9 L/min and injection volume was 20 μL. The thickness， width， length and 100-grain quality of the medicinal materials were used as indicators to investigate the appearance traits. SPSS 22.0 software was used to analyze the correlation of the contents of spinosin and jujuboside A， its appearance traits with the quality constant of TCM， and establish a quality classification standard for the seads of Z. jujuba. RESULTS： The linear range of spinosin and jujuboside A were 1.03-6.18 μg/mL （r＝0.999 7）， 1.05-6.30 μg/mL （r＝0.999 8）； the limits of quantitation were 0.171， 0.174 μg/mL， respectively； the limits of detection were 0.052， 0.053 μg/mL， respectively. RSDs of precision， stability and reproducibility tests were all lower 2％. The recoveries were 99.01％-102.97％ （RSD＝1.39％， n＝6）， 97.94％-101.03％ （RSD＝1.13％， n＝6）， respectively. Correlation analysis results showed that the length， width， 100-grain quality spinosin content and jujuboside A content of the medicinal materials were positively correlated with the quality constant of TCM. The results of quality classification for 30 batches of medicinal materials showed that S1-S4 and S7-S12 were first-class products； S5， S6， S13-S17 and S20-S30 were second-class products； S18 and S19 were third-class products. CONCLUSIONS： Established content determination method is simple， precision， accurate and stable， and can be used for simultaneous determination of spinosin and jujuboside A in the seads of Z. jujuba. Established quality grading standard of the seads of Z. jujuba can be used to evaluate the quality.
