RESUMEN
In present work, a method for enrichment, purification, and content determination of oleanolic acid (OA) in medicinal plants was established based on on-line solid phase extraction (SPE). A metal organic frameworks-porous organic polymer monolith (MOF-POPM) was prepared with functionalized UiO-66-(OH)2 as monomer and was used as SPE column for online enrichment and purification of OA. The ratio of adsorbent, enriching and eluting solvent, mobile phase pH, and flow rate had been systematically investigated. Under the optimum conditions, the linear range of OA was 0.59-2500 µg/mL with r = 0.9996. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.18 µg/mL and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.59 µg/mL. The intra-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) and inter-day RSDs of retention time and peak area were less than 0.3% and 1.3%, respectively. The average recoveries of OA in medicinal plants samples ranged from 87.7 to 104.6%. The results demonstrated that the online system was reliable and accurate for enrichment, purification, and content determination of OA in medicinal plants.
