Abstract:

A high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method (HPLC-MS/MS) was developed for the determination of eight constituents in Naoxinqing crude drug and tablets, including protocatechuate, hyperoside, kaempferol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, kaempferol-3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside, myricetin, quercetin, naringenin and kaempferol. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) with negative electrospray ionization (ESI-) in MS/MS was used for quantification. The eight compounds were separated on a Dikma Diamonsil C18 with the mobile phases of acetonitrile and 0.1% (v/v) formic acid aqueous solution with gradient elution. The eight compounds showed good linearity in their concentration ranges with the correlation coefficients (r) better than 0.99. The recoveries were from 99.0% to 102.1%, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 0.9%-3.3% (n=6). The method is accurate, sensitive and effective. It can be used for the quality control of Naoxinqing crude drug and tablets.

Key words: crude drug, effective constituents, high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), Naoxinqing, tablets
