Rapid analysis by HPLC in the quality control study of Chinese herbal medicine pseudo-ginseng and its Chinese drugs preparation′s specific chromatogram

Abstract

Objective To study the HPLC rapid analysis method for the 5 kinds of saponins in pseudo-ginseng herbs and its traditional Chinese medicine preparations Xuesaitong injection at different habitats and analyze the fingerprint characteristics. Methods The Waters Nova-Pak-wat044375 flash chromatography column (4.6 mm×150 mm, 4 μm) was as stationary phase, and acetonitrile-0.5% formic acid solution (v/v) system was as the mobile phase. The gradient elution, column temperature was 30 ℃, and detection wavelength was of 203 nm. Twelve batches of Panax notoginseng in Yunnan, Sichuan, Guangxi, Jiangxi and other places four kinds of Xuesaitong injection from different manufacturers were taken for rapid analysis of HPLC and methodological study. The similarity analysis was carried out by Chinese medicine chromatographic fingerprint similarity evaluation system (2012 edition). Results The establishment of rapid HPLC fingerprints baseline separation occurred within 1 min of detection, and 5 kinds of ingredients were all successfully detected in the 40 min. The similarity of each component was more than 0.9, and with a good precision, stability and reproducibility, RSD within 5%. Conclusions The method of HPLC rapid analysis for Chinese herbal medicine pseudo-ginseng and its Chinese drugs preparation’s specific chromatogram is simple, rapid and effective. It can fully reflect the changes of 5 representative components chromatogram in pseudo-ginseng and its preparation, and so it can be as the quality control evaluation of pseudo-ginseng and its preparation.
