Abstract

Objective: To establish a method for simultaneous determination of saikosaponin a, saikosaponin d, saikosaponin b1, saikosaponin b2 and saikosaponin k in Ruhe Neixiao liquids by UPLC-MS/MS. Methods: The samples were separated on a YMC-Triart C18 column (150 mm×2.1 mm, 3 μm) by gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.3 mL·min-1 using acetonitrile and 0.1% aqueous formic acid as the mobile phase. The column temperature was maintained at 35 ℃. Multiple reaction monitoring (SRM) scanning was employed for the quantification with switching electrospray ion (ESI) source polarity in negative mode. Results: The linear ranges of saikosaponin a, saikosaponin d, saikosaponin b1, saikosaponin b2 and saikosaponin k were 0.106-10.622 μg·mL-1 (r=0.999 6), 0.101-10.097 μg·mL-1(r=0.999 8), 0.098-9.840 μg·mL-1(r=0.999 9), 0.343-34.339 μg·mL-1(r=0.998 0) and 0.126-12.640 μg·mL-1(r=0.998 3), respectively. The average recoveries(n=6) were 98.6%(RSD=1.4%), 99.9%(RSD=1.2%), 101.1%(RSD=1.8%), 101.6%(RSD=1.8%) and 98.6%(RSD=1.9%), respectively. The content ranges of saikosaponin a, saikosaponin d, saikosaponin b1, saikosaponin b2 and saikosaponin k in Ruhe Neixiao liquids were 1.59-94.62 μg·mL-1, 0-0.52 μg·mL-1, 21.29-286.19 μg·mL-1, 14.78-156.64 μg·mL-1 and 0-66.01 μg·mL-1, respectively. Conclusion: The method can be used for simultaneous determination of saikosaponin a, saikosaponin d, saikosaponin b1, saikosaponin b2 and saikosaponin k in 25 samples from 10 manufacturers. This method is sensitive, accurate and reproducible, and provides a scientific reference for quality control and comprehensive evaluation of Ruhe Neixiao liquids.
