Abstract
By optimizing the extraction, separation and analytical conditions, a simple, reliable and effective high-performance liquid chromatography method coupled with photodiode array detector (HPLC–DAD) is presented for simultaneous determination of nine aristolochic acid (AA) analogues, i.e., AA I, AA II, AA C, AA D, 7-OH AA I, aristolic acid, AL II, AL III and AL IV, in twelve medicinal herbs and two preparations. The separation was completed on a C18 column with aqueous methanol containing 0.2% (V/V) acetic acid as mobile phase. Linearities of around two orders of magnitude were obtained with correlation coefficients exceeding 0.9950. Satisfactory intra-day and inter-day precisions were achieved with R.S.D.s less than 4.35%, and the average recovery factors obtained were in the range of 88.4–98.8%. The proposed method appears to be suitable for use as a tool for safety assurance and quality control for commercially available suspect samples containing aristolochic acid analogues.
