Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for simultaneous determination of 5 constituents in Phyllanthus emblica,and to conduct principal component analysis and cluster analysis of contents of 5 polyphenolic constituents in P. emblica from different producing areas of Guangxi. METHODS:HPLC method was adopted to determine the contents of gallic acid,epigallocatechin, corilagin,terminalia biphenyl acid and ellagic acid in P. emblica. The determination was performed on Agilent Eclipse XDB column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid aqueous solution (gradient elution) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 220 nm,and column temperature was 25 ℃. The sample size was 20 μL. The results of content determination was processed by principal component analysis and cluster analysis. RESULTS:The linear range of gallic acid, gallocatechin, corilagin, chebulagic acid and ellagic acid were 1.994-31.90, 0.1598-2.556, 4.533-45.33, 14.75-88.49, 2.956-47.30 μg/mL(r≥0.9998),respectively. The limits of detection were 0.0256,0.0271,0.0529,0.1867,0.1331 μg/mL;the limits of quantitation were 0.0851,0.0893,0.1706,0.6152,0.4419 μg/mL,respectively. RSDs of precision,stability(24 h) and reproducibility tests were all<2.0%(n=6 or n=7). The average recoveries were 96.19%-101.49%(RSD=0.98%-1.41%, n=6). 12 batches of samples had 3 main components. They could be divided into 2 categories. P. emblica from Rong county of Yulin city in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region had highest comprehensive principal component score and best quality. CONCLUSIONS:Established method is simple,accurate and reliable,and can be used for the simultaneous determination of gallic acid,gallocatechin,corilagin,chebulagic acid and ellagic acid in P. emblica. The quality of P. emblica from different producing areas in Guangxi is different.
