Abstract:
Objective Based on the concept of quality marker (Q-marker), a chemical method was developed to evaluate the quality of the multi-original medicinal material “Meiduoluomi” and predict its Q-marker. Methods Firstly, the Q-marker were preliminary predicted based on the relationship between genetic relationship and biosynthesis pathway, pharmacological activity and chemical composition. Secondly, the main active components were determined by UHPLC. The analysis was performed using ACQUITY UHPLC HSS C18 column (100 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.8 μm); Mobile phase was acetonitrile (A)-0.3% acetic acid water (B) with gradient elution; The flow rate was 0.2 mL/min; The column temperature was 35 ℃; The detection wavelength was 320 nm. Results A new method for simultaneous determining five compounds of meiduoluomi was established, including chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, and 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid. The linear relationship of them was good at the range of 9.60-480.00, 10.27-513.50, 10.08-504.03, 9.64-482.80, and 3.82-380.24 mg/L, respectively; And the average recovery rates were 102.43%, 99.78%, 99.39%, 103.12%, and 101.83%, respectively. The five components were detected in each sample and the total content of the five components was more than 10% in the herbal medicine. It was suggested that the five components can be used as a Q-marker of meiduoluomi for quality control. Conclusion The coffeic acid components are scientific and reasonable to be considered as a Q-marker of meiduoluomi. The developed UHPLC method can be used for the quality control of meiduoluomi. This study provides new idea for the rational evaluation of multi-original medicinal material based on Q-marker.
