RESUMO
AIM To determine the contents of aspartic acid,glutamic acid,serine,glycine,threonine,citrulline,arginine,alanine,γ-amino-butyric acid,tyrosine,valine,phenlalanine,isoleucine,ornithine,leucine,lysine and proline in Gualoupi Injection and its intermediates,and to analyze their change laws.METHODS The OPA-FMOC online derivatization analysis was performed on a 45℃ thermostatic Waters XBridge C18 column(4.6 mm×100 mm,3.5 μm),with the mobile phase comprising of phosphate buffer solution-[methanol-acetonitrile-water(45 : 45 : 10)]flowing at 1 mL/min in a gradient elution manner,and the detection wavelengths were set at 262,338 nm.Principal component analysis and heatmap analysis were adopted in chemical pattern recognition for the corresponding intermediates in ten processes of six batches of samples.RESULTS Seventeen amino acids showed good linear relationships within their own ranges(R2>0.998 0),whose average recoveries were 83.4%-119.5%with the RSDs of 0.91%-7.94%.Different batches of samples in the same process were clustered,and the corresponding intermediates in different processed were clustered into three groups.Alcohol precipitation and cation exchange column demonstrated the biggest influences on amino acid composition.CONCLUSION This experiment can provide important references for the critical factors on quality control of Gualoupi Injection,thus ensure the stability and uniformity of final product.
RESUMO
A hydrophilic interaction chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method was developed for simultaneous quantification of 35 components in gualoupi injection. The analytes were separated with an ACQUITY XBridge Amide column using 20 mmol·L-1 ammonium formate aqueous solution (pH 3.0) as mobile phase A and 20 mmol·L-1 ammonium formate (pH 3.0)∶acetonitrile (1∶9) as mobile phase B for gradient elution. Mass spectrometry with dynamic multiple reaction monitoring and external standard method were used for quantitative analysis. A total of 35 components were determined in 10 batches of gualoupi injection. The results showed that the 35 compounds had a good linear relationship within their respective concentration ranges with the correlation coefficients (R2 > 0.998 0), the recoveries ranged from 76.6% to 118.5%. The results showed that γ-aminobutyric acid, trigonelline, alanine, threonine, homoserine, citrulline, and leucine were abundant in gualoupi injection, while nicotinamide, methylsuccinic acid, cytosine and choline account for a low percentege. The present study provides an important reference for elucidation of the effective material basis and the improvement of quality standard of gualoupi injection.
RESUMO
Objective: To develop a method of quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker (QAMS) for six active ingredients in Gualoupi injection. Methods: An HPLC method was used with a Waters Sunfire ODS C18column (250 mm×4. 6mm, 2. 5 μm), the mobile phase was methanol(A)-0. 2% glacial acetic acid solution(B) with gradient elution, the flow rate was 1. 0 ml· min-1,the detection wavelength was 254 nm,the column temperature was 30℃ and the injection volume was 20 μl. Using 3, 29-dibenzoyl rarounitriol as a reference, the relative correction factors among karounidiol, vanillic acid, adenosine, quercitrin and cynaro-side were detected by QAMS and their contents were calculated, and the results were compared with those of the external standard method. Results: The differences were not statistically significant between the calculated values of karounidiol, vanillic acid, adeno-sine, quercitrin and cynaroside and those measured by the external standard method (P>0. 05). Conclusion: QAMS can be used for the determination of 6 effective components in Gualoupi injection, and the result is accurate, simple and effective.
RESUMO
A rapid identification of the constituents in Gualoupi injection was developed by HILIC/Orbitrap Fusion Lumos HRMS. ACQUITY XBridge Amide column was used to isolate the constituents with large polarity. ESI with positive ion mode was employed and "Top Speed" DDA was applied in the MS2 scan. Compound identification was carried out by using Compound Discoverer software through comparing the precursor and product ions information with those in ChemSpider and mzCloud database. As a result, 48 compounds was identified, including alkaloids, amino acid, nucleosides, nucleobases, etc., among which 25 was unambiguously identified by comparing the retention time and mass spectra information with those of reference standards. In general, the main constituents from Gualoupi injection were explained in this study. Additionally, full-scan mass spectra of 21 batches of the injection were collected by the established method. Subsequently, principal component analysis (PCA) with the peak area as the observation ID was employed to analyze the discrimination of different bathes of samples. The results indicated that the batch-to-batch difference was generally from the crude drug, and the preparation process of this injection was relatively stable. In conclusion, a rapid and effective method for the identification of compounds in Gualoupi injection was established by using UHPLC-Orbitrap Fusion Lumos HRMS and the inter-bath stability was also investigated, which may make a great contribution to the study of the bioactive ingredients in Gualoupi injection and also provide vital evidence for the standard promotion.
