Content Determination and Cluster Analysis of 7 Kinds of Triterpenes in Poria cocos from Different Habitats / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE：To establish a method for th e content determination of 7 kinds of triterpenoids in Poria cocos ，and to compare the differences of the above components in P. cocos from different habitats ，so as to provide reference for the quality control of P. cocos . METHODS ：Using 36 batches of P. cocos from different habitats as samples ，HPLC method was used for content determination of dehydrotomorphic acid ， polyporhinic acid C ， 3-epidehydrotomorphic acid ， 3-O-acetyl-16 α-hydroxy-hydrogenolysaccharic acid ，dehydrotomorphic acid ，pachymic acid and dehydrotrametenolic acid. The column was performed on Thermo Acclaim 120 C18 with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-phosphoric acid water （gradient elution ）at the flow rate of 1 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 210 nm. The column temperature was 30 ℃，and the injection volume was 20 μL. SPSS 21.0 statistical software was used for cluster analysis of 36 batches of P. cocos from different habitats. RESULTS ： The linearity of 7 triterpenoids was good in the range of their mass concentration （all r≥0.999 0）；average recoveries were 96.74％-104.04％（RSD＝0.54％-1.55％，n＝6）. RSDs of precision ，and reproducibility stability （24 h）tests were all lower than 3.0％（n＝6）. RSD of durability test was lower than 5.0％（n＝2）. There were some differences in the single content of 7 indicator components among samples from different habitats ，but the total content difference was not obvious （the total content of most samples was in the range of 1.3-1.9 mg/g）. After cluster analysis ，36 batches of sample were clustered into 5 categories，i.e. S 27 was clustered into class Ⅰ；S30 and S 34 were clustered into class Ⅱ；S2，S8 and S 9 were clustered into class Ⅲ；S10，S11，S12 and S 14 were clustered into class Ⅳ；and the remaining 26 batches of samples were clustered into class Ⅴ. CONCLUSIONS ：The method is simple ，and has good precision ，repeatability and durability. It can be used for the simultaneous determination of above 7 components in P. cocos . There has no significant difference in the quality of P. cocos from different habitats. The content of P. cocos in most producing areas is uniform in content and stable in quality ，only a few of them are different. Δ 基金项目 ：国家重点研发计划中医药现代化研究重点专项
