Abstract:
Method for rapid quantitative analysis of incarvillateine in Incarvillea sinensis by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been developed. The sample preparation involves solid phase extraction (SPE) with a mixed-mode reversed-phase and cation-exchange cartridge. The linear calibration range for incarvillateine was 0.002-0.5 mg/ml. The limit of detection was 0.35 microg/ml (S/N=3). Intra- and interday precisions were less than 0.36% (n=6) and 1.61% (n=18), respectively. The recovery of incarvillateine was 97.61-102.44% with the relative standard deviation (RSD) ranging from 0.63 to 1.93% (n=3). This method was proposed as a simple, rapid and accurate method for quantitative determination of incarvillateine content in various samples of Incarvillea sinensis collected from different areas of China.
