In this study, an established ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) method was combined with multivariate statistical analysis to investigate the commonality and difference of main chemical components in the medicinal parts of Paeonia lactiflora from different cultivars; in addition, a high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) method was established to simultaneously determine the content of eight active components in Paeoniae Radix Alba. Non-targeted analysis was carried out by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS on a Waters ACQUITY UPLC BEH C_(18)(2.1 mm×100 mm, 1.7 μm) column with a gradient elution of 0.1% aqueous formic acid(A)-acetonitrile(B) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.2 mL·min~(-1). The column temperature was 30 ℃, and an electrospray ionization source was used to acquire mass spectrometry data in positive and negative ion modes. According to the accurate molecular weight and fragment ion information provided by multi-stage mass spectrometry and by comparison with reference substances and literature reports, thirty-six identical components were identified in Paeoniae Radix Alba from different cultivars with positive and negative ion modes. In the negative ion mode, two groups of samples were well separated; specifically, seventeen components with significant differences in content were screened and identified, and one component unique in "Bobaishao" was obtained. Quantitative analysis was conducted by high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) on an Agilent HC-C_(18)(4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm) column with a gradient elution of 0.1% aqueous phosphoric acid(A)-acetonitrile(B) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min~(-1). The column temperature was 30 ℃ and the detection wavelength was at 230 nm. An HPLC method was developed for the simultaneous determination of eight active components(gallic acid, oxypaeoniflorin, catechin, albiflorin, paeoniflorin, galloylpaeoniflorin, 1,2,3,4,6-O-pentagalloylglucose, benzoyl-paeoniflorin) in Paeoniae Radix Albaa from different cultivars. Satisfactory linearity was achieved within the investigated linear ranges and with fine coefficients(r>0.999 0), and the methodological investigation showed that the method had good precision, repeatability and stability. The mean recoveries were 90.61% to 101.7% with RSD of 0.12% to 3.6%(n=6). UPLC-Q-OF-MS provided a rapid and efficient qualitative analytical method for the identification of the chemical components in Paeoniae Radix Alba, and the developed HPLC method was simple, rapid and accurate, which could provide a scientific basis for the evaluation of the germplasm resources and herbal quality of Paeoniae Radix Alba from different cultivars.

A new silybin nanocrystallines self-stabilizing Pickering emulsion (SN-SSPE) was developed using the high pressure homogenization method to improve the oral bioavailability of silybin. The influences of homogenization pressure from 50 to 120 MPa and drug content from 100 mg to 1000 mg on the formation of SN-SSPE were studied. The morphology, structure and size of emulsion droplet in SN-SSPE were characterized using scanning electron micrograph and confocal laser scanning microscope. SN-SSPE was evaluated, including stability, in vitro release and in vivo oral bioavailability. The particle size of silybin nanocrystallines (SN-NC) was decreased as the pressure increased until 100 MPa. When the drug content reached 300 mg or above, stable SN-SSPE was formed from sufficient SN-NC covering surfaces of oil droplets completely. The emulsion droplet of SN-SSPE with the size of 27.3±3.1 μm showed a core-shell structure consisting of oil droplet as core and SN-NC as shell. SN-SSPE showed a high stability over 40 days. In vitro release rate of SN-SSPE was faster than silybin coarse powder and similar to silybin nanocrystallines suspension (SN-NCS). After intragastric administration in rats, the peak concentration of SN-SSPE was increased by 2.5-fold and 2.3-fold compared with SN-NCS and silybin coarse powder, respectively. The AUC of SN-SSPE was increased by 1.4-fold and 3.8-fold compared with SN-NCS and silybin coarse powder, respectively. All these results showed that nanocrystallines of the poorly soluble drug could stabilize Pickering emulsions, which provides a promising application to the improvement of the oral bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs.
