Objective:To establish UPLC specific chromatogram method and content determination method of Dryopteridis Crassirhizomatis Rhizoma; To comprehensively evaluate the Dryopteridis Crassirhizomatis Rhizoma from different producing areas.Methods:UPLC method was used to establish the specific chromatogram of 15 batches of Dryopteridis Crassirhizomatis Rhizoma from different producing areas. The quality was evaluated by cluster analysis and partial least square analysis. The content of total flavonoids was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry.Results:The established specific chromatogram identified a total of 21 common peaks, and identified 4 components through comparison with control samples. The clustering and partial least squares analysis showed that the samples from Anshan City in Liaoning Province, Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in Jilin Province, Jiamusi City in Heilongjiang Province, Jilin City in Jilin Province had a certain consistency. The results of total flavone content determination showed that the content of samples from different producing areas was different.Conclusion:The established UPLC characteristic chromatogram and content determination method of total flavone content of Dryopteridis Crassirhizomatis Rhizoma can reflect the quality of Dryopteridis Crassirhizomatis Rhizoma in different places. The quality of samples from different origins is similar, but the contents of the three producing areas fluctuated greatly.

OBJECTIVE:Compare the fingerprint difference of Vaccariae Semen before and after processed (stir-fried),and to determine the contents of erythrine and vaccarin before and after stir-fried. METHODS :UPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on YMC Trait C 18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-water (gradient elution )at the flow rate of 0.35 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 219 nm,and the column temperature was 35 ℃. The sample size was 1 μL. Using vaccarin as reference,the fingerprints of Vaccariae Semen crude product and its processed product (each of 17 batches,S1-S17,CS18-CS34) were drawn. The similarity evaluation and common peak identification were carried out by Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprint (2012 edition);cluster analysis ,principle component analysis (PCA)and factor analysis were performed by using SPSS 20.0 software. The contents of erythrine and vaccarin in Vaccariae Semen crude product and its processed product were determined by UPLC. RESULTS :There were 5 common peaks in UPLC fingerprints of 17 batches of Vaccariae Semen crude product and its processed product. The similarities were all higher than 0.99. Among them , 2 common peaks were identified ,i.e. erythrine ,vaccarin. Results of cluster analysis showed that S 1-S17 were clustered into one category and CS 18-CS34 were clustered into one category. Results of PCA and factor analysis showed that variance contribution rate of the first principle component was 76.418%;erythrine and vaccarin had higher loading on the first principal component (eigenvalues were 0.976 and 0.966,respectively). The linear ranges of above 2 components were 6.437-321.832 μg/mL and 7.729-386.437 μg/mL,respectively(r>0.999). The limits of detection and quantitation were 0.085,0.284 ng (crude product) and 0.739, 2.465 ng (processed product ), respectively. RSDs of precision ,reproducibility,stability(12 h)and durability tests were all lower than 3%(n=6 or n=5). E-mail:1083656123@qq.com Average recoveries were 96.42%(RSD=0.85%,n=6)and 99.13%(RSD=1.74%,n=6). The contents of the two components were 0.11%-0.20%,0.42%-0.63%(crude product )and 0.08%-0.11%,0.34%-0.50%(processed product ). CONCLUSIONS :UPLC fingerprint of Vaccariae Semen crude product and its processed product are established successfully. Although the chemical constituents in Vaccariae Semen are consistent before and after stir-fried ,the contents of erythrine and vaccarin are all decreased after stir-fried.
