Abstract

Objective: To establish a high performance liquid chromatographic method for the qualitative analysis of five alkaloids, namely, palmatine, berberine, dehydrocorydaline, tetrahydropalmatine and corydaline in Corydalis Rhizoma, and to investigate the feasibility of liner calibration with two reference substances(LCTRS) method for the qualitative analysis of the peaks. Methods: HPLC method was used. The mobile phase consisted of solvent A (acetonitrile) and solvent B (water containing 0.1% phosphoric acid, adjusted to pH 6.0 with triethylamine). The gradient elution(0-23 min, 20%A; 23-35 min, 20%A→30%A; 35-50 min, 30%A→80%A) was performed by HPLC at a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1. The column temperature was 35 ℃ and the detection wavelength was set at 280 nm. The injection volume was 5 μL. The actual retention time of five alkaloids in Corydalis Rhizoma was determined on 20 C18 columns of different brands or types. Two components, palmatine and corydaline, was selected as the two reference compounds. LCTRS method was used for accurately locating chromatographic peaks, and the method was verified on another three unknown columns. The retention time of the other four components were also predicted by the relative retention time method using the intermediate chromatographic peak of dehydrocorydaline as the single reference. The prediction accuracy and column compliance of these two methods were compared. Results: The five alkaloids were well separated in the 10 batches of samples. Among them, the peak prediction accuracy and column compliance of the LCTRS method were both 100%,which were significantly higher than those of the relative retention time method, and could better predict the retention time of the components in Corydalis Rhizoma on the unknown column. Conclusion: The established LCTRS method for the high-accuracy prediction of peak retention time can be used for the qualitative analysis of five alkaloids in Corydalis Rhizoma and is worthy of further promotion and application.
