Abstract
A reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) separation with photodiode array detection (PDA) was developed for the simultaneous determination of five flavonoids, lutonarin (LO), saponarin (SA), isoorient (IO), 7-O-feruloylorientin (FO) and luteolin (LE) in the extract of Gentiana piasezkii, a popular forage grass, pharmaceutical and ornamental plant in China. The optimized method was achieved for the separation and detection of selected constituents, using acetonitrile-1% acetic acid as the mobile phase with gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min and 350 nm as the detection wavelength. The contents of the five flavonoids, i.e., LO, SA, IO, FO and LE in the plant of G. piasezkii were 0.1524, 0.0673, 0.300, 0.0552 and 0.0052%, respectively. The compounds possess similar structures and have been studied by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
