To develop a quantitative analysis of multi-components by single-marker (QAMS) method for simultaneous determination of six major components (nitidine chloride, chelerythrine, hesperidin, zanthoxylumol, dictamnine and pimpinellin) in Toddalia asiatica.
A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was adopted using a Waters Symmetry C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase consisted of 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution and acetonitrile (containing 0.1% formic acid) with gradient elution. The flow rate was set at 0.8 mL·min-1, the detection wavelength was 280 nm, and the column temperature was maintained at 30 ℃. Taking hesperidin as the reference standard, relative correction factors (RCFs) of the other five components were determined, and the contents of the six major components were calculated. The accuracy and feasibility of the QAMS method were verified by investigating the robustness of RCFs and comparing the results with those obtained by the external standard method.
Within the linear range, the RCFs of nitidine chloride, chelerythrine, zanthoxylumol, dictamnine and pimpinellin were 0.170, 0.353, 3.443, 1.546 and 0.664, respectively. The RCFs exhibited good robustness under different experimental conditions (RSD < 3%). Additionally, there was no significant difference between the results obtained by the QAMS method and the external standard method for the analysis of eight batches of Toddalia asiatica.
The developed QAMS method is accurate and feasible, which can be used for determining the contents of major components in Toddalia asiatica.
