Selected AbstractsSimultaneous quantification of three major triterpenoids in radix asteris by high-performance liquid chromatography with evaporative light scattering detectionPHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS, Issue 3 2009Yaping Tian Abstract Introduction Radix asteris, with triterpenoids as its main pharmacological effective compounds, has been widely used for moistening the lung, dispersing phlegm and relieving cough. Quantification of the triterpenoids is important for the quality control of Radix asteris. Objective To establish a high-performance liquid chromatography method with evaporative light scattering detection for simultaneous determination of three major triterpenoids, shionone, friedelin and epi-friedelinol, in Radix asteris. Methodology The optimal chromatographic conditions were achieved on an RP18 column with gradient elution by acetonitrile and 0.05% acetic acid in 22 min with ELSD set at an evaporating temperature of 40°C. Validation of the method included tests of linearity, sensitivity, precision, repeatability, stability and accuracy. Results All calibration curves showed good linear regression (r2 > 0.9991) within test ranges. The established method showed good precision and accuracy with overall intra-day and inter-day variations of 1.61,2.97 and 1.74,2.42%, respectively, and overall recoveries of 97.35,101.13% for the three compounds analysed. Conclusion The method developed was successfully applied to quantify the main triterpenoids in 14 Radix asteris samples. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Quantitative determination of Aconitum alkaloids in blood and urine samples by high-performance liquid chromatographyPHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS, Issue 1 2004Zhao Hong Wang Abstract An HPLC method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of the toxic Aconitum alkaloids, aconitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine in blood and urine samples. The samples were initially subjected to solid phase extraction using Oasis® MCX cartridges, and the alkaloids were separated on an XTerraÔ RP18 column, gradient-eluted with acetonitrile: ammonium hydrogen carbonate buffer. Calibration curves were linear in the range 2.75,550 ng for aconitine and hypaconitine, and 3,600 ng for mesaconitine: the limit of detection was 0.1 ng (signal-to-noise ratio of 3) for each alkaloid. The described analysis proved to be sensitive, rapid and economical, and will be applied in the identi,cation and determination of these alkaloids in forensic and therapeutic drug monitoring.

Chattopadhyay Abstract A sensitive liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometric (LC/ESI-MS/MS) method was developed for the identification and quantification of two antihepatotoxic coumarinolignoids cleomiscosin A and cleomiscosin B in different extracts of the seeds of Cleome viscosa. The separation of cleomiscosin A and cleomiscosin B was achieved on an RP18 column using a solvent system consisting of a mixture of acetonitrile,methanol (1:2, v/v) and acetonitrile,water,formic acid (5:95:0.3, v/v) as a mobile phase in a gradient elution mode. A multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) method was developed for quantification of cleomiscosin A and cleomiscosin B in the seed extracts of Cleome viscosa. On the basis of signal-to-noise ratio of 3, the limit of detection in MRM mode for cleomiscosin A and cleomiscosin B were 1.0 and 4.0 ng/mL respectively. The method was validated in terms of linearity, accuracy and precision for 6 days. The method developed was found to be useful for identification and quantification of cleomiscosin A and cleomiscosin B in the different extracts of the seeds of Cleome viscosa.

[source] Investigation of lipophilicity of anticancer-active thioquinoline derivativesBIOMEDICAL CHROMATOGRAPHY, Issue 2 2007Marek Bajda Abstract The lipophilicity of a series of anticancer propargylthioquinoline derivatives has been investigated using chromatographic and computational methods. The parameters of relative lipophilicity (RMO and logk0) of the tested compounds were determined experimentally both by reversed-phase thin layer (RP-TLC), and high-performance liquid chromatographic methods (RP-HPLC, LiChrospher RP18 column), with mixtures of acetonitrile and water as mobile phases. Their phospholipophilicity (logk0IAM) was determined using immobilized artificial membrane HPLC (IAM. PC DD2 Regis column). Mobile phase acetonitrile concentrations were in the ranges 50,90% (RP-TLC), 55,90% (RP-HPLC) and 35,60% (IAM-HPLC). The RM, logk and logkIAM values of the compounds investigated were linearly dependent on acetonitrile concentration. The analysis led to the calculation of RMO, logk0 and logk0IAM parameter values for each of the tested compounds. Their partition coefficients (logP) were also calculated with the Pallas and CAChe programs. The obtained results indicated that, among experimental methods, both RP-TLC and RP-HPLC gave similar results, and these methods enable the determination of lipophilicity of derivatives of thioquinolines. Using the IAM-HPLC technique a simple method of estimation of phospholipoplilicity was described. The CAChe program might better predict calculated lipophilicity logP values, and therefore is a useful tool for the early stage of design of new propargyl thioquinolines.
