Abstract

Haepyoyijin-tang (HPYJT) is a traditional herbal prescription that is composed of 12 medicinal herbs. Although HPYJT is frequently used in patients with asthma in Korea, no quality assessment protocols have been developed. In the present study, qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed using high-performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry on the eight main components (mulberroside A, amygalin, liquiritin apioside, liquiritin, narirutin, hesperidin, rosmarinic acid, and glycyrrhizinic acid) to establish a quality control protocol for HPYJT. The simultaneous analysis method developed was satisfactorily validated with respect to linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, recovery, and precision. This analytical method thus provides an efficient approach for the evaluation of HPYJT quality.

Highlights

  • Haepyoyijin-tang (HPYJT) is an herbal medicine prescription that consists of 12 medicinal herbs

  • HPYJT has been demonstrated to exhibit biological action, such as protective effects on pulmonary injury caused by SO2, and to affect airway mucin production and gene expression control in respiratory diseases that are accompanied by mucus hypersecretion [2,3]

  • To establish an efficient quality control protocol for HPYJT, we developed and validated the first simultaneous quantitative analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography equipped with photodiode array detector (HPLC–PDA) system on the eight main constituents of HPYJT
