Abstract:
ObjectiveTo determine the contents of four kinds of indole alkaloids (rhynchophylline, isorhynchophylline, corynoxeine, isocorynoxeine) in Uncaria by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-automatic internal standard (HPLC-MS-AIS). MethodsChromatographic separation was performed using C18 column (3.0 mm×50 mm, 3.3 μm), and the mobile phase, comprising 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution-acetonitrile (82∶18, V/V), was eluted at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min and column temperature of 30℃. Mass spectrometric detection was performed using an electrospray ionization source and positive multiple-reaction monitoring mode at a voltage capillary of 4 000 V. The mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) transition was 385.25/160.10 for rhynchophylline, 385.30/160.10 for isorhynchophylline, 383.25/160.15 for corynoxeine and 383.25/160.15 for isocorynoxeine, respectively. The injection volume was kept constant at 2 μL. ResultsThe linear concentration ranges of rhynchophylline, isorhynchophylline, corynoxeine and isocorynoxeine were 2.30~600.00 ng/mL (r=0.999 3), 2.30~600.00 ng/mL (r=0.999 2), 2.47~650.00 ng/mL (r=0.999 4) and 2.47~650.00 ng/mL (r=0.999 2), respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of precision and stability were all lower than 5.00%, the accuracy ranged from 92.40% to 104.10%, and the average recovery was 95.90%~104.60%. ConclusionHPLC-MS-AIS method is simple and accurate for the determination of four kinds of alkaloids in Uncaria, and can be used as a new method for quality control of Uncaria.
