“…There have several analytical methods been published for simultaneous determination of liensinine, isoliensinine and neferine in the plants and biological samples, including HPLC (Du et al, 2011;Huang et al, 2011), HSCCC (Liu et al, 2009), LC-MS/ MS (Chen et al, 2007;Zhou et al, 2007;Yu et al, 2013) and LC-TOF/ MS (Lin et al, 2013). However, to our best knowledge, there are only two HPLC bioanalytical methods for simultaneous determination of the three alkaloids in biological fluids, but the methods required elaborate sample preparation, long analytical time, and time-consuming (Du et al, 2011;Huang et al, 2011).…”
