HPLC Coupled with Chemical Fingerprinting for Multi-Pattern Recognition for Identifying the Authenticity of Clematidis Armandii Caulis
Published on: November 11, 2022
Objective:
To establish an HPLC fingerprint of ethanol extract of QingGuangAn, and to determine the contents of paeoniflorin and calycosin-7-glucosid.
Methods:
HPLC analysis was performed on an Agilent 1260 Infinity LC system and carried out at 35 degrees C on a column of GRACE Alltima C18 (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 μm). A binary gradient elution system was composed of acetonitrile (phase A) and water solution (phase B). Detection was performed at the wavelength of 254 nm, the mobile flow rate was 0.8 mL/min. A matrix including 20 variations (characteristic peaks area) and 10 samples was constructed for similarity evaluation.
Results:
The results showed that the collected samples had a good similarity. A specificity fingerprint was produced and 20 characteristic peaks were designated. The content of paeoniflorin and calycosin-7-glucosid was 0.368 and 0.049 mg/g, respectively.
Conclusion:
It is a reliable, available and quick method for quality control of QingGuangAn,which provides some reference for the comparison of different extracting methods of QingGuangAn and the differences of pharmacodynamic.
