Green Quantification Strategy Combined with Chemometric Analysis for Triglycerides in Seeds Used in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
PLANTA MEDICA(2018)
Abstract
Triglycerides are the primary constituents of some seed kernels used in traditional Chinese medicine. Quality control of seed kernels containing multiple components with an environmentally friendly method is indispensable for establishing their quality standards (called monographs) in pharmacopeia. Using coix seeds (Semen Coicis) as an example, a green quantification strategy was proposed by combining C-8 core-shell particles with single standard to determine multicomponent technologies to quantify seven triglycerides simultaneously. A core-shell column, namely, Halo C-8 (3.0x100 mm, 2.7 mu m), was used. Methanol was used as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.3mL/min, enabling UV detection of the elutes. Seven triglycerides were well separated in 20min, and simultaneously quantified using triolein as a single standard. The conversion factor for each standard was set as 1.0 on ELSD, while for the conversion factors at 203nm, the values increased with the reduction of linoleate. The recovery values were all in the range of 97-107% (RSD <3.0%). The RSD values of precision, including intraday and intermediate precision, were <3.0% when the total content of triglycerides was calculated. The linearity reached r0.9990, and the limit of quantitation reached 40-70ng. Forty-nine batches of coix seeds from four different places of origins and eight batches of adulterants were evaluated and differentiated using principal component analysis. In addition, the validated method was used successfully to quantity seven triglycerides in Semen Persicae, Semen Armeniacae Amarum, and Semen Pruni.
