Simultaneously Quantitative Analysis of Four Alkaloids of Ramulus Uncariae cum Uncis Based on Multi-components with Single Marker
Abstract:Objective:To establish a UPLC method for simultaneous determination of the contents of four components (rhynchophylline,isorhynchophylline,isomitraphylline,isocorynoxeine) in decoction pieces of Ramulus Uncariae cum Uncis by quantitatively analyzing multi-components with single-marker (QAMS),and verify the feasibility and technical adaptability of this method. Methods:Four alkaloids in Ramulus Uncariae cum Unciswere used as index ingredients. With isorhynchophylline as the internal standard,the relative correction factors (RCF) of rhynchophylline,isomitraphylline,and isocorynoxeine were established respectively,and the quantities of four components in the decoction pieces of Ramulus Uncariae cum Uncis were calculated. Results:In the linear range,the relative correction factors of rhynchophylline,isorhynchophylline,isomitraphylline,and isocorynoxeine were 1.02,0.97,1.00 and 1.01,respectively. The relative correction factors had good reproducibility under different experimental conditions. Conclusion:The method of simultaneous determination of rhynchophylline,isorhynchophylline,isomitraphylline,and isocorynoxeine with isorhynchophylline as internal standard is scientifically stable,accurate and adaptable,and can be used for the determination of 4 alkaloids in Ramulus Uncariae cum Uncis.
