Sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids (SPAs) are bioactive analogues derived from the genus Tripterygium and have anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic properties. Attributed to the similar sesquiterpene structures, the total SPAs showed severe peak overlap in 1D NMR and HPLC, leading to difficulties in identification and quantification. Interestingly, the application of band-selective HSQC NMR that specifically excited the region corresponding to the H-3 of SPAs prompted a signal separation of the total SPAs. Based on the high resolution, 23 SPAs were identified from the band-selective HSQC spectrum. The coupling constants (JCH, JHH) and relaxation times (T1, T2) of SPAs were measured, and it was found that they caused less than 1% attenuation of the HSQC signals, so the HSQC signals of SPAs had almost uniform responses. The concentrations of 23 SPAs were determined by standard curve method, using wilforgine as the calibration. In addition, we extended the pulse length-based concentration determination (PULCON) as a more efficient external standard method to the band-selective HSQC spectrum, and the results showed that the concentrations of alkaloids determined by PULCON were consistent with those measured by standard curve method. The developed quantification approach was validated according to the <761> of United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), demonstrating that the established band-selective HSQC approach is reliable for the rapid quantification of analogues in botanical extracts.
