Simultaneous HPLC Quantitative Analysis of Nine Bioactive Constituents inScirpus YagaraOhwi. (Cyperaceae)

Abstract

The tuber of Scirpus yagara Ohwi. (Cyperaceae) has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Several chemical constituents isolated from it possess a variety of physiologically activities such as anti-inflammatory, antitumor and antioxidant. A simultaneous high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis was developed and validated for the determination of nine active components in tubers and aerial parts of S. yagara. The analysis was performed on a YMC-Pack ODS-A column (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 μm, 30 nm) with a multilinear gradient mobile phase of water-formic acid (100 : 0.2, v/v) and methanol. The established HPLC method was validated in terms of linearity, sensitivity, precision, accuracy, recovery and stability. All analyzed components were detected in the whole tested samples, and the contents of most components in the aerial parts were even higher than those in the tubers. Moreover, the best harvest period was discovered to be November, which is different from the traditional. The method developed was successfully applied for simultaneous qualitative and quantitative analysis of nine active components in S. yagara.

Sparstolonin B selectively suppresses toll‑like receptor‑2 and ‑4 to alleviate neuropathic pain

“…SsnB was purified from the plant Sparganium stoloniferum according to the method described previously (15). The purity of SsnB was determined to be >99% by high-performance liquid chromatography as described previously (22). SsnB powders were dissolved in soybean oil as a stock solution.…”

Systematic evaluation of Rutongshu oral liquid based on chromatographic fingerprinting and nontargeted metabolomic analysis

“…In recent years, the quality of herbal medicine as well as their related products have been evaluated adopting chromatographic fingerprinting which emphasizes the characteristics of overall sample composition [8][9][10]. Among the many techniques used to characterize chemical profiles including Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) [11][12][13], mass spectrometry (MS) [14][15][16], nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) [17][18][19], gas chromatography (GC) [20][21][22], high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) [23][24][25] and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) [26][27][28], ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) [29][30][31] and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) [32][33][34] are the most popularly used approaches used for fingerprinting due to its high sensitivity, high selectivity and low cost [35,36].…”
