CHEN Hong, ZHANG Qing-hua, CHEN Ming, et al. Comparison of Contents of Five Free Anthraquinones in Processed Products of Morindae Officinalis Radix with Different Commercial Grades[J]. Chinese journal of experimental traditional medical formulae, 2017, 23(15): 5-9. DOI: 10.13422/j.cnki.syfjx.2017150005.
Objective: To establish a sensitive and specific high performance liquid chromatography method (HPLC) for simultaneous determination of five free anthraquinones (2-hydroxyl-3-methyl anthraquinone
2-hydroxy-1-methoxy anthraquinone
1
8-dihydroxy anthraquinone
rubiadin-1-methyl ether and rubiadin) in Morindae Officinalis Radix. Method: The analytic procedure was carried out on a Phenomenex C18 column(4.6 mm×250 mm
5 μm) and detected with an UV detector at the wavelength of 277 nm.Gradient elution was carried out with 0.4% phosphoric acid and acetonitrile at the flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1. The column temperature was set at 30 ℃. Result: The calibration curves were linear in the range of 0.010-0.250 μg for 2-hydroxyl-3-methyl anthraquinone with r of 0.999 7
0.060-1.500 μg for 2-hydroxy-1-methoxy anthraquinone with r of 0.999 1
0.004-0.100 μg for 1
8-dihydroxy anthraquinone with r of 0.999 6
0.050-1.250 μg for rubiadin-1-methyl ether with r of 0.999 7 and 0.025-0.625 μg for rubiadin with r of 0.999 5
respectively.The average recoveries of these five components were 98.2%
99.6%
97.9%
98.5% and 97.7%
respectively.Relative standard deviations were 1.4%
1.6%
2.2%
1.6% and 1.7%
respectively. Conclusion: The established method is accurate and reliable
and it can be used for the simultaneous determination of these five components
which provides a scientific basis for the quality evaluation of Morindae Officinalis Radix.
