目的:建立UPLC法同时测定大黄中大黄素、大黄酸、大黄酚、大黄素甲醚、芦荟大黄素、番泻苷A、番泻苷B、土大黄苷8个成分的含量。方法:采用ACQUITY BEH C18色谱柱(2.1 mm×50 mm,1.7μm),以乙腈(A)-0.1%甲酸水溶液(B)为流动相,梯度洗脱(0-1 min,10%B→15%B;1-2 min,15%B→20%B;2-3 min,20%B→30%B;3-4 min,30%B→40%B;4-5 min,40%B→60%B;5-6 min,60%B→65%B;6-7 min,65%B→70%B;7-8 min,70%B→80%B;8-9 min,80%B→85%B),流速0.3 mL·min-1,柱温35℃,254 nm处检测大黄素、大黄酸、大黄酚、大黄素甲醚、芦荟大黄素,320 nm处检测番泻苷A、B和土大黄苷,对测定结果进行主成分分析。结果:大黄素、大黄酸、大黄酚、大黄素甲醚、芦荟大黄素、番泻苷A、番泻苷B、土大黄苷浓度在一定范围内,与峰面积积分值线性关系良好(r≥0.9996),方法的精密度RSD为0.51%-0.97%,重复性RSD为0.64%-1.3%,稳定性RSD为0.72%-1.6%,平均加样回收率为96.5%-104.2%。主成分分析结果表明正品大黄与伪品可以明显分开,野生品与栽培品内在质量存在差异。结论:所建立的方法能同时测定大黄中8个成分的含量,可作为大黄药材与伪品的区分和质量控制的参考方法。
Objective:To develop a ultraperformance liquid chromatography( UPLC) method to determine the content of emodin,rhein,chrysophanol,physcion,aloeemodin,sennoside A,sennoside B and rhaponticin simultaneously in Radix et Rhizoma Rhei. Methods:The analysis was achieved with an ACQUITY BEH C18 analytical column( 2.1 mm ×50 mm,1.7 μm) by gradient elution of 0. 1%( v/v) formic acid in water and acetonitrile:0-1 min,10% B→15% B; 12 min,15% B→20% B; 23 min,20% B→30% B; 34 min,30% B→40% B; 45 min,40% B→60% B; 56 min,60% B→65% B; 67 min; 65% B→70% B; 78 min,70% B→80% B; 89 min,80%B→85% B. The flow rate was 0. 3 mL·min1,the column temperature was maintained at 35 ℃ and the detection wavelength was set at 254 nm and 320 nm. Five free anthraquinones were determined at 254 nm,and sennoside A /B and rhaponticin were determined at 320 nm. Principal component analysis( PCA) was used to analyze the test results. Results:The peak areas and concentrations of emodin,rhein,chrysophanol,physcion,aloeemodin,sennoside A,sennoside B and rhaponticin showed good linear relationship within a certain concentration range( r ≥0. 9996); the RSD of precision was 0. 51%0. 97%; the RSD of repeatability was 0. 64%1. 3%,the RSD of stability was 0. 72%1. 6% and the average recoveries were 96. 5%104. 2%. Quality and counterfeit of Radix et Rhizoma Rhei could be clearly separated by PCA and there were differences in intrinsic quality between wild variety and cultivation. Conclusion:UPLC method for simultaneous determination of 8 contents of Radix et Rhizoma Rhei could be used to distinguish between qualified products and counterfeits of Radix et Rhizoma Rhei and used as the reference method for quality control.
