Study on HPLC Fingerprint and Multi-Index Components Contents of Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma / 中药新药与临床药理

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a method for simultaneous determination of HPLC fingerprint and multi-target ingredients in Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma(AMR),in order to provide reference for its quality control.Methods HPLC-DAD multi-wavelength switching method was used to establish fingerprint of AMR,similarity evaluation combined with hierarchical clustering analysis(HCA),principal components analysis(PCA)and discriminant analysis of partial least squares(PLS-DA)were used to carry out chemometric study.The contents of differential component such as atractylenolide Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and atractylon were determined simultaneously.Results The HPLC fingerprint of 37 batches of AMR was established.Nine common peaks were marked,and 4 of them were identified as atractylon,atractylenolide Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ.The similarity degrees were between 0.539 and 0.996,the quality of AMR from different origin and different batches varies greatly.Atractylon,atractylenolide Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and one unknown component(peak 9)are the important factors affecting the quality of AMR.Conclusion The combination methods of HPLC fingerprint and simultaneous determinations of multiple components are simple,stable,accurate and reliable,which can provide reference for the quality evaluation of AMR and the improvement of quality standard,as well as lay a foundation for the basic research of its pharmacodynamic substances and related compound.
