AOAC Official Method 2007.01Pesticide Residues in Foods by Acetonitrile Extraction and Partitioning with Magnesium SulfateGas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry and Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass SpectrometryFirst Action 2007[Applicable for the following pesticides in grapes, lettuces, and oranges: atrazine, azoxystrobin, bifenthrin, carbaryl, chlorothalonil, chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos-methyl, l -cyhalothrin (incurred in lettuces), cyprodinil, o,p ¢-DDD, dichlorv os, endosulfan sulfate,ethion (incurred in oranges), imazalil, imidacloprid,kresoxim-methyl (incurred in grapes), linuron, methamidophos,methomyl, permethrins (incurred in lettuces) procymidone,pymetrozine, tebuconazole, thiabendazole (incurred in oranges),tolylfluanid (degraded in lettuces), and trifluralin. These were representative pesticide analytes chosen in representative matrixes,and the method is expected to be applicable to many other similar pesticides and matrixes. Limits of quantitation were demonstrated to be <10 ng/g.]See Tables 2007.01A–E for the results of the interlaboratory study supporting acceptance of the method.A. PrincipleThe QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe)method uses a single-step buffered acetonitrile (MeCN) extraction and salting out liquid–liquid partitioning from the water in the sample with MgSO 4. Dispersiv e-solid-phase extraction (dispersive-SPE) cleanup is done to remove organic acids, excess water, and other components with a combination of primary secondary amine (PSA) sorbent and MgSO 4; then the extracts are analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS) techniques after a chromatographic analytical separation. Figure 2007.01 outlines the protocol in a box format. In brief, a well-chopped food sample alongwith 1 mL of 1% acetic acid (HOAc) in MeCN and 0.5 g anhydrous MgSO 4/NaOAc (4/1, w/w) per g sample are added to a centrifuge tube or bottle, which is shaken and centrifuged. A portion of the MeCN extract (upper layer) is added to anhydrous MgSO 4/PSA sorbent (3/1, w/w; 200 mg per 1 mL extract), mixed, and centrifuged. This final extract is transferred to autosampler vials for analysis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) to identify and determine a wide range of pesticide residues. To achieve <10 ng/g detection limits in modern GC/MS, large volume injection (LVI) of 8 m L is typically needed, or the final extract can be concentrated and solvent exchanged to toluene (4 g/mL), in which case 2 m L splitless injection is used.Both GC/MS and LC/MS/MS techniques are prone to matrix effects in pesticide residue analysis, albeit for different reasons [Erney, D.R., Gillespie, A.M., Gilvydis, D.M., & Poole, C.F. (1993)J. Chromatogr. 638, 57–63; Hajslova, J., & Zrostlikova, J. (2003) J.Chromatogr. A 1000, 181–197; Alder, L., Luderitz, S., Lindtner, K.,& Stan, H.J. (2004) J. Chromatogr. A 1058, 67–79]. To account for these effects, matrix-matched calibration was conducted (calibration standards in solvent solution may also be used if matrix effects are shown not to occur). Due to the situation that some laboratories had LVI capability and others did not, the necessary amounts of matrix blank(s) and final extract volume was different for some laboratories than others. Depending on the water content of the matrix, a 15 g sample typically yields 11–14 mL of initial MeCN extract after centrifugation. In dispersive-SPE, roughly half of the extract is lost to the powders, thus about 6–7 mL of final extract can be expected for a 15 g sample. Two options were provided in the protocol to account for the different situations among the laboratories.ã 2007 AOAC IN T ER N A T IONALTable 2007.01A.

The final extract volume was 0.5 mL if 1 mL was taken for dispersive-SPE, and 1 mL if 2 mL underwent the cleanup step. In either case, two 15 g blank samples were used for the matrix blank (0-standard) and 6 matrix-matched calibration standards (5, 10, 50, 100, 250, and 1000 ng/g equiv alent concentrations). For dispersive-SPE of the matrix blanks, either 7 separate tubes using the same 1–2 mL extract volumes as the test samples could have been used, or 1–2 dispersive-SPE tube(s) with 7-fold greater extract volume(s).In Option B, if LVI is not available for GC/MS, then »30 mL of matrix blank extract was needed after dispersive-SPE cleanup to prepare the matrix-matched calibration standards (or $60 mL initial extract). In this case, 6 matrix blanks of 15 g each were extracted along with the test samples to provide enough blank extract volume, which were combined, and seven 8 mL aliquots were distributed to 7 dispersive-SPE tubes containing 0.4 g PSA + 1.2 g anhydrous MgSO4.B. Apparatus and ConditionsNote: Tables 4 and 5 of the collaborative study [J. AOAC Int. 90, 485(2007)] list the analytical instrumentation and sources of sample preparation materials used by each laboratory in the study. Further information appears in the full report. Since the time of the collaborativ e study, at least 3 v endors, United Chemical Technologies (Bristol, PA, USA), Restek (Bellefonte, PA, USA) and Supelco (Bellefonte, PA, USA) hav e introduced commercial dispersive-SPE products for QuEChERS and other applications. See Table 4 [J. AOAC Int. 90, 485(2007)] for sources of analytical instruments.(a) Gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer.—An ion trap, quadrupole, time-of-flight (TOF), or other GC/MS instrument may be used with electron impact (EI) ionization, an autosampler (AS), and computerized instrument control/data collection. Either LVI of 8 m L for a 1 g/mL MeCN extract (e.g., 75°C ramped to 275°C at 200°C/min) or 2 m L splitless injection of 4 g/mL extracts in toluene a t250°C m a y b e u s e d.A3–5m,0.25m m i d, phenylmethyl-deactivated guard column must be used as a retention gap in either case. The analytical column is a 30 m, 0.25 mm id, 0.25 m m film thickness (5%phenyl)-methylpolysiloxane (low bleed) analytical column (DB-5ms or equiv alent). Set He head pressure on the column to be 10 psi or constant flow to be 1.0 mL/min with systems capable of electronic pressure/flow control. After an appropriate time for solv ent delay, use an appropriate ov en temperature program, for example, starting at 75°C for MeCN extracts or 100°C for toluene ramped to 150°C at 25°C/min, then to 280°C at 10°C/min, and hold for 10 min. All collaborators had much experience in pesticide residue analysis and were free to use their own analytical conditions provided that peak shapes were Gaussian, peak widths at half heights were <5 s, and signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of the quantitative ion for the pesticides at 10 ng/g equivalent concentrations in the sample were >10. For qualitative purposes (which were not the focus of this study), at least 3 ions yielding relativ e abundances that reasonably match a contemporaneously analyzed reference standard are typically needed to make an analyte identification.(b) Liquid chromatograph/tandem mass spectrometer.— A triple quadrupole, ion trap, or other LC/MS/MS instrument may be used provided it is capable of electrospray ionization (ESI) in the positive mode with computerized instrument control/data collection and has an AS. An injection volume (5–100 m L) will be determined for each instrument to achieve S/N > 10 for the quantitation ion for a 10 ng/g equivalent sample concentration. As in GC/MS, the collaborators had much experience in the analysis of pesticides and were free to use their own conditions. Suggested LC conditions, howev er, include a 15 cm long, 3.0 mm id, 3 m m particle size C18 column, flow rate of 0.3 mL/min, and gradient elution with an initial condition of 25% MeOH in 5 mM formic acid solution taken linearly in 15 min to 90% MeOH in 5 mM formic acid solution and held for 15 min. A short C18 guard column must be used to protect the analytical column, and a bypass valve must be used before the MS instrument to av oid introduction of the early and late eluting nonanalyte components into the detector. The MS/MS conditions were optimized in each laboratory using direct infusion into the ESI source to prov ide highest S/N for the quantitation ion of each LC-type analyte from a single MS/MS transition. A second transition with reasonably matching relative abundance ratios vs a contemporaneously analyzed reference standard is typically needed for qualitative purposes.(c) Centrifuge(s).—Capable of holding the 50 mL centrifuge tubes or bottles used for extraction and 10–15 mL graduated centrifuge tubes or 2 mL mini-tubes used in dispersiv e-SPE. Determine the rpm settings that yield a given relative centrifugal force (RCF), and ensure that maximum ratings of the centrifuge, tube/bottles, and rotors for the instrument are not exceeded.(d) Balance(s).—Capable of accurately measuring weights from0.05 to 100 g within ±0.01 g.(e) Freezer.—Capable of continuous operation <–20°C.(f) Furnace/oven.—Capable of 500°C operation.ã 2007 AOAC IN T ER N A T IONALTable 2007.01E.

Preparation of Reagent Materials and Comminuted Sample(1) Prepare the necessary number of sealable vials/cups containing 6.0 ± 0.3 g anhydrous MgSO 4 + 1.5 ± 0.1 g anhydrous NaOAc (or 2.5ã 2007 AOAC IN T ER N A TIONALFigure 2007.01. Outline of the QuEChERS protocol used in the collaborative study.± 0.2 g NaOAc·3H2O) per 15 g sample. Scoops of appropriate volume can be used to speed the process, but weighing should still be done to check consistency. The containers should be sealed during storage and can be refilled and re-used without cleaning in between usages.(2) Prepare the necessary number of appropriate centrifuge tubes (2 mL mini-centrifuge tubes or 10–15 mL centrifuge tubes) containing 0.05 ± 0.01 g PSA sorbent + 0.15 ± 0.03 g anhydrous MgSO4 per 1 mL extract taken for dispersive-SPE cleanup. (Note: At least United Chemical Technologies, Restek, and Supelco now provide dispersive-SPE products commercially to replace this step.) If LVI is not available for GC/MS, then evaporation of the extracts will be needed, and 8 mL extract will be transferred to 10–15 mL sealable centrifuge tubes containing 0.40 ± 0.08 g PSA sorbent + 1.20 ± 0.24 g anhydrous MgSO4. For matrixes that contain >1% fat, add an additional 0.05 ± 0.01 g C18 sorbent per mL extract to the container. If no planar pesticides are among the analytes (e.g., thiabendazole, terbufos, quintozene, and hexachlorobenzene), then 0.05 ± 0.01 g GCB sorbent per mL extract can also be added to the tube. (Note: Final extract volume may have to be reduced to 0.4 mL per 1 mL aliquot in dispersive-SPE if all 4 powders are used.) (3) Prepare 1% HOAc in MeCN in dispenser bottle by adding 10 mL HOAc to 990 mL v olume of MeCN or different desired amount in the same ratio.(4) Label all vials and tubes appropriately that will be used in the method.(5) Note: Step 5 was conducted by the Study Director (SD) when preparing the test samples. An appropriate chopper must be used to comminute large, representative sample portions. An uncommon or deuterated pesticide standard may be spiked into the sample during homogenization to determine the effectiv eness of the procedure. Blend the sample until it gives a consistent texture. Transfer .200 g to a sealable container for freezer storage after further homogenization with a probe blender. Blend this subsample with the mixer until it is homogeneous. The test portion (e.g., 15 g) is taken for extraction immediately, and the container is then sealed and stored in the freezer in case re-analysis is necessary. The advantages of this approach are that the 15 g portion is highly representative of the original sample, the sample is well-comminuted to improv e extraction by shaking, less time is spent on the ov erall homogenization process than trying to prov ide equiv alent homogenization of the large initial sample with the chopper, and a frozen subsample is available for re-analysis if needed.To provide the most homogeneous comminuted samples, frozen conditions, sufficient chopping time, and appropriate sample size to chopper volume ratio should be used. Use of frozen samples also minimizes degradative and volatilization losses of certain pesticides. In this case, cut the sample into 2–5 cm3 portions with a knife and store the sample in the freezer prior to processing. Cryogenic blending devices, liquid nitrogen, or dry ice may also be used (but make sure all dry ice has sublimed before weighing samples and ensure that water condensation is minimal, especially in a humid environment). (6) For laboratories with LVI in GC/MS, prepare a test mix of the pesticides in MeCN + 0.1% HOAc to determine the retention times (t R) and MS quantitation/diagnostic ions at the particular GC/MS conditions to be used in the analysis [see Table 2 of the collaborative study (J.

AnthocyaninsAntioxidant activity Cyanidin-3-O-glucosidea b s t r a c tThe anthocyanins in the fruits of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (ACN)were extracted by 1%TFA in methanol,and then purified by X-5resin column and C 18(SPE)cartridges.The purified anthocyanin extract (ART)from the fruits of R.tomentosa showed strong antioxidant activities,including DPPH radical-scavenging capacity,ABTS radical scavenging capacity,reducing power and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC).The purified anthocyanin extract was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).The major anthocyanins were purified by semi-preparative HPLC and Sephadex LH-20column chromatography,and were identified as cyanidin-3-O-glucoside,peonidin-3-O-glucoside,malvidin-3-O-glucoside,petunidin-3-O-glucoside,delphinidin-3-O-glucoside and pelargonidin-3-glucoside by HPLC–ESI/MS and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR).Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside was consid-ered as the most abundant anthocyanin,which was 29.4mg/100g dry weight of R.tomentosa fruits.Addi-tionally,all the major anthocyanins were identified from R.tomentosa fruit for the first time.Ó2013Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved.1.IntroductionRhodomyrtus tomentosa (Ait.)Hassk,a member of the Myrtaceae family,commonly known as rose myrtle,is an abundant evergreen shrub native to southeast Asia,with rose-pink flowers and dark-purple edible bell-shaped fruits (Amporn,Tony,&John,2005).The stem,leaf,fruits of the whole plant can be used as medical materials.The R.tomentosa fruit possesses excellent pharmacolog-ical properties,including antibacterial activity against Gram-posi-tive bacteria,such as Streptococcus pyogenes and Escherichia coli (Dachriyanus et al.,2002;Surasak &Supayang,2008).R.tomentosa fruit is widely distributed in south China;its bright purplish-red colour is due to anthocyanins.Anthocyanins,an important group of water-soluble pigments in natural products,are widely spread in flowers,fruits and leaves.They usually link with sugar moieties and constitute flavonoids,attracting more and more attention due to their usage as natural food additives and excellent functional properties for human health (Kaliora,Dedoussis,&Schmidt,2006;Li,Wang,Guo,&Wang,2011).On the basis of their structural characteristics,anthocyanins possess various biological activities,including antioxidant (Cerezo,Cuevas,Winterhalter,Garcia-Parrilla,&Troncoso,2010),anticancer (Wang &Stoner,2008),anti-inflammatory (Greenspan et al.,2005),anti-artery atherosclerosis,anti-hypertensive (Pinent et al.,2004)and antibacterial activities (Lacombe,Wu,Tyler,&Edwards,2010).In recent decades,the antioxidant activities of anthocyanin and its working mechanism have attracted growing global interest.As re-ported,anthocyanin might play its protective role through the working system of H atom transfer,single electron transfer and metal chelation (Monica,Nino,&Marirosa,2011).However,to our knowledge,the information regarding the antioxidant capacity and major anthocyanins of R.tomentosa is limited.The objectives of the present study were to extract and purify the anthocyanins from the fruit of R.tomentosa and to evaluate their antioxidant capacity.The major anthocyanins were further isolated by semi-preparative HPLC and column chromatography,and identified by HPLC–ESI–MS and NMR spectroscopy.2.Materials and methods 2.1.Plant materialThe wild-grown mature fruits of R.tomentosa (Ait.)Hassk were collected in Shanwei,Guangdong Province,China,in August (Fig.1),freeze-dried after being washed with clean sterile water,and then stored at À20°C prior to extraction.2.2.Chemicals2,20-Azobis

(M.Zhao).30,60-dihydroxyspiro[isobenzofuran-1[3H],90[9H]-xanthen]-3-one (FL),ascorbic acid,CF3COOD and CD3OD were purchased from Sig-ma Chemical Co.(St.Louis,MO,USA).X-5resins were obtained from Haiguang Chemical Co.Ltd.,(Tianjin,China).Sephadex LH-20was purchased from Pharmacia Fine Chemicals Co.(Uppsala,Sweden) and Sep-Pak cartridges were purchased from Waters Co.,(Milford, Bedford,MA,USA).All the solvents for HPLC analysis were of HPLC grade.All the other chemicals used were of analytical grade.2.3.Extraction of anthocyaninsFree-dried sample(300g)was macerated with1000ml of TFA (trifluoroacetic acid):methanol(1:99;v/v)for48h in the dark at room temperature,and the remaining residues were extracted by 400ml of the extract solvent to extract anthocyanin.The superna-tants were obtained by centrifugation(8000g,15min)in a GL-21M refrigerated centrifuge(Xiangyi Instrument Co.Ltd.,Changsha,Chi-na)andfiltration.Finally,the acidic methanol extracts were com-bined and evaporated,using a rotary evaporator(RE-52AA, Yarong Instrument Factory,Shanghai,China)at40°C.2.4.Purification of anthocyaninsThe concentrated crude extract was purified by partition(sev-eral times)against ethylacetate and chloroform to remove non-po-lar compounds.The partial purified aqueous(10ml each time) phase was then subjected to a X-5resin column(1.6Â40cm)to remove free sugars,aliphatic acids and other water-soluble com-pounds by washing(several times)with the column volume of dis-tilled water.The adsorbed anthocyanins were eluted using methanol containing0.1%trifluoroacetic acid(TFA,v/v).The concentrated anthocyanin extract was further refined by solid phase extraction(SPE)in C18cartridges(Sep pak,Waters). The aqueous extract of anthocyanin was passed through a sorbent C-18Sep-Pak cartridge(Waters Associates,Milford,MA)previously activated with acidified methanol(0.01%HCl v/v)and equilibrated with water.The extract adsorbed onto the cartridge was rinsed with ultra-pure water to remove water-soluble impurities,and then eluted with acidified methanol(0.01%HCl,v/v).The acidified methanol solution was evaporated under vacuum,redissolved in water,and lyophilized(R2L-100KPS,Kyowa Vacuum Engineering, Tokyo,Japan).The dry fraction was dissolved with deionized water. Samples werefiltered through a0.45l mfilter before analysis. 2.5.Isolation and identification of the main anthocyanins from the purified extract2.5.1.IsolationThe purified extract,containing the major anthocyanin-derived pigments,was isolated by semi-preparative HPLC,using a Waters X-bridge reversed-phase C18column(5l m,10Â150mm,i.d.)at 35°C with aflow rate of 4.5ml/min and was monitored at 520nm.The solvents were(A),water/formic acid(98:2),and(B), formic acid/methanol(2:98),with the following gradient:10–15%B over5min,15–18%B over5min,18–23%B over20min, from23%to25%B over10min.and then each fraction was further chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20column(1.0Â60cm), eluting with a mixture of methanol/water/trifluoroacetic acid at a ratio of20:79.5:0.5to obtain compounds1–6,respectively.2.5.2.Molecular weight determinationA MS system(Esquire HCT PLUS,Phenomenex,Torrance,CA, USA),equipped with a Hewlett–Packard1100series liquid chroma-tography system,was used to determine the molecular weight of each compound.One hundred microlitres of sample solution (100l g/ml)was injected into the MS system.Mass spectra in the positive-ion mode were generated under the following conditions: HV capillary=2800V;HV end plate offset=À500V;nebulizer pressure=10psi;dry temperature=300°C;dry gas=5.00l/min; m/z range=100–1000.A reversed-phase column(250Â4.6mm, 5l m,C18),thermostatted at35°C,was used for separation;sol-vents were(A)aqueous0.1%trifluoroacetic acid,and(B)100%ace-tonitrile,establishing the gradient as described in2.10.2.5.3.NMR identificationThe NMR results were obtained at400MHz and100MHz for1H and13C,respectively,on a Bruker AVANCE Spectrometer(Bruker DRX400,Bruker Biospin Co.,Karlsruhe,Germany)in the solvent, CF3COOD–CD3OD(5:95;v/v);coupling constants were expressed in Hertz,and chemical shifts were given on a d(ppm)scale with TMS(tetramethylsilane)or solvent signals as an internal standard.2.6.Determination of total anthocyanin content(TAC)TAC was determined according to the pH differential method by Kim,Jeong,and Lee(2003).Absorbance was measured at520and 700nm in buffers at pH1.0and4.5,using A=[(A520ÀA700)pH1.0-À(A520ÀA700)pH 4.5]and expressed as mg of cyanidin-3-glycoside (molar extinction coefficient of26,900and molecular weight of 449.2)equivalents per100g of dry fruit weight.TAC was calcu-lated using the following equation.Data were reported as means±standard deviation of triplicate determinations.TACðmg=100gÞ¼AÂMWÂDFÂ1eÂLÂVMÂ100ð1Þwhere A is absorbance,e is cyanidin-3-O-glucoside molar absor-bance(26,900),L is the cell pathlength(1cm),MW is the molecular weight of cyanidin-3-glucoside(449.2Da),DF is the dilution factor, V is thefinal volume(ml),and M is the dry weight(mg).

10%B(Paola-Naranjo,JoséSánchez-Sánchez,&González-Paramás, 2004).The solventflow rate was1.0ml/min,and the injection vol-ume was20l l.2.12.Statistical analysisThe total anthocyanin content was measured in triplicate and data represent mean values±standard deviation(n=3).Samples were analyzed in triplicate and one-way analysis of variance per-formed using SPSS11.5(SPSS Inc.,Chicago,IL,USA).Significant dif-ferences were detected at P<0.05.3.Results and discussion3.1.Total anthocyanin contentThe total anthocyanin content of the purified R.tomentosa ex-tract,determined by the pH differential method,was 62.8±1.2mg/100g of freeze-dried weight of R.tomentosa fruits, expressed as cyanidin-3-O-glucoside and reported as the average of three determinations.Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside was the major anthocyanin detected in large amount(47%),followed by peoni-din-3-O-glucoside(34%)and malvidin-3-O-glucoside(8%).3.2.Antioxidant activity3.2.1.Radical-scavenging activityDPPH and ABTS radical-scavenging activities of the purified anthocyanin extracted from R.tomentosa and ascorbic acid control are shown in Table1and Fig.2,respectively.As shown in Fig.2A,the purified anthocyanin extract showed strong DPPH radical-scavenging activity in a dose-dependent man-ner,and exhibited good DPPH radical-scavenging activity at the concentration of2l g/ml and it almost completely inhibited DPPH radicals(>90%)at a concentration of20l g/ml.The IC50value of DPPH radical-scavenging activity was6.27±0.25l g/ml(Table1). Furthermore,DPPH radical-scavenging activity was linearly corre-lated(positive)with the concentrations of anthocyanin extracts from0to10l g/ml,while ascorbic acid exhibited the activity from 2to30l g/ml,respectively.ABTSÅ+is often used for in vitro determination of free radical activity and the relative ability to scavenge the ABTSÅ+radical has been compared with the standard trolox.Fig.2B shows a steady in-crease in ABTS radical-scavenging capacity,up to a concentration of0.20mg/ml,that is equivalent to1.32mg/ml of trolox.The IC50 value of ABTS radical-scavenging activity was90.3±1.52l g/ml.It is noteworthy that both DPPH and ABTS radical-scavenging activities of the tested extract were higher than those of V CC.Cui et al./Food Chemistry139(2013)1–83(IC50=6.27±0.25l g/ml,206±2.37l g/ml)which is always con-sidered as an excellent tool for determining the antioxidant activ-ity of hydrogen-donating antioxidants and of chain breaking antioxidants.3.2.2.Reducing power activityReducing power is often used as an indicator of electron-donat-ing activity,which is an important mechanism for testing antioxida-tive action of phenolics.The reducing powers of ART and ascorbic acid control are shown in Table1and Fig.2C,respectively.As shown in Fig.2C,the tested ART extract exhibited high reducing power in a dose-dependent manner,but showed a slightly weaker ability com-pared with those of ascorbic acid.The value,raising the absorbance at700nm to0.5,of reducing power was51.7±0.74l g/ml(Table1). Furthermore,the reducing power was linearly correlated(positive) with the concentrations of anthocyanin extracts and ascorbic acid from0to0.08mg/ml.The corresponding correlation coefficients were0.996for anthocyanin extracts(Y=7.591X+0.107)and 0.995for ascorbic acid(Y=15.17X+0.026),respectively.3.2.3.ORAC capacity testThe ORAC assay is the only antioxidant test that combines both inhibition time and degree of inhibition into a single quantity.The assay uses a biologically relevant radical source,and is also an assay where an added antioxidant competes with a substrate(fluores-cein)for the radicals generated by thermal decomposition of azo compounds,like AAPH,and inhibits or retards substrate oxidation (Walton,Lentle,Reynolds,Kruger,&Mcghie,2006).As mentioned in2.9,final ORAC values were expressed as l mol of trolox equiva-lents(TE)/mg of ART,and a higher ORAC value indicated stronger antioxidant activity.As shown in Table1,The ORAC value of the tested ART extract was9.29±0.08l mol TE/mg,which was signifi-cantly higher than that of ascorbic acid(1.79±0.03l mol TE/mg). The result indicated that ART exhibited very good antioxidant activity.3.3.HPLC analysisUnder the optimital HPLC separation condition,a satisfactory separation of the purified anthocyanin extract of R.tomentosa was obtained and the HPLC chromatogram is shown in Fig.3A.The Major anthocyanins represented about99%of the total peak area with regard to the UV–Vis spectrum taken on-line during HPLC and chromatographic features.However,other minor peaks were also detected which had percentage areas of less than1%. No UV absorbance maxima in the310–320nm range were de-tected,indicating no acylation of anthocyanins with aromatic acids (Giusti&Jing,2001).3.4.Identification of compoundsThe detailed MS data,including retention times,molecular ion peaks,MS2fragments and percent area at520nm,of all anthocya-nins are summarized in Table2.Fig.4shows the electrospray mass spectrum and the structures of the isolated anthocyanins.Two major peaks,peak2and peak5(P2,P5)were obtained as amorphous red powder.As shown in Table2,P2and P5showed peaks at449m/z and463m/z from ESI–MS,which were in accor-dance with the mass calculated for C21H21O11(449.1)and C22H23O11(463),on the basis of the MS2detected mass fragments at m/z287and m/z301related to the loss of one hexose ([MÀ162]+)molecule,respectively,and the UV–Vis spectrum of the two compounds showed the visible k max to be516nm withTable1Antioxidant activities of anthocyanins(ART)extracted from Rhodomyrtus tomentosa and ascorbic acid using the

one set of double doublet of an ABM sys-tem at d 7.04(1H,d,J =8.8Hz),8.22(1H,dd,J =8.8, 2.2Hz),8.02ppm (1H,d,J =2.2Hz)were observed which were characteris-tic of H-50,H-60and H-20,respectively.The ring C was a flavanone moiety.The proton signal at d 3.46–5.31(H-1-glc–H-6-glc)showed a D -glucopyranose moiety which was assigned as -configuration based on the large proton-coupling constants of its

C-3,which was confirmed by Zarena and Sankar (2012).Based on the above results and literature (Lee &Choung,2011),P2was identified as cyanidin-3-O-glucopyranoside.Comparing the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of P5with those of P2,its spectral features were closely similar to those of P2,except for the excess of the three-proton signal at d 3.99(3H,s)in the 1H NMR spectra and one carbon signal at d 57.0in the 13C NMR spectra,which was due to a methyl group attached to oxygen.Further sup-port for this structure was obtained by the mass spectrum of P5displaying a [M]+ion peak at m /z 463,corresponding to the excess of an methylene moiety (14mass units)from P2([M]+).Based on the above evidence,the structure of P5,which differed from P2by a methyl group attached to the H-30position instead of a hydro-xyl group attached to the H-30position on the B ring entity,was de-duced to be peonidin-3-O-glucoside and the chemical structure of P2was further confirmed by comparison of the NMR and MS data with the literature (Fossen,Slimestad,Øvstedal,&Andersen,2002).Peak 1(P1):amorphous red powder;ESI–MS m /z 465;1H NMR (CF 3COOD–CD 3OD):d 6.66(1H,d,J =1.2Hz,H-6), 6.87(1H,d,J =1.2Hz,H-8),7.74(2H,d,J

fragmentation in MS2at m/z303(À162amu) which would correspond to the monoglucoside of delphinidin(Cer-ezo et al.,2010),The UV–Vis spectrum of this compound showed the visible k max to be523nm;the ratio of absorbance at440nm to the absorbance at visible maximum wavelength(A440nm/A k max ratio)for peak1was found to be0.28,indicating that the com-pound is delphinidin-3-O-glucoside(Longo&Vasapollo,2006).The1H NMR spectra of P1showed the presence of two meta-coupled doublet(J=1.2Hz)protons on the A-ring at d6.66and 6.87ppm,which were assigned to H-6and H-8,respectively.One set of doublets of an AM system at d7.74(2H,d,J=2.2Hz)was ob-served which was characteristic of H-20and60.The analysis of the NMR spectral data also revealed only a single glucose moiety with a proton signal at d5.34(1H,d,J=7.8Hz)coupled with the C-3 aglycone at144.6ppm,indicating a D-glucopyranose moiety with a b-configuration attached to the C-3position.Thus the structure of P1was elucidated to be delphinidin-3-O-glucoside and was in agreement with the report of Pazmiño-Durán,Giusti,Wrolstad, and Glória(2001).Peak3(P3):amorphous purple powder;ESI–MS m/z479;1H

formula C22H23O12 of petunidin aglycone linked with a glucose moiety(Lin,Harnly, Pastor-Corrales,&Luthria,2008).The UV–Vis spectrum of pigment 3,taken on-line during HPLC,showed a visible maximum at 526nm.Comparing the1H and13C NMR spectra of P3with those of P1, its spectral features were closely similar to those of P1,except for the excess of the three-proton signal at d3.99(3H,s)in1H NMR spectra and one carbon signal at d57.5in13C NMR spectra due to a methyl group attached to the H-30position instead of a hydro-xyl group attached to the H-30position on the B ring entity.By comparison with previous research data(Lee et al.,2009),P3was assigned as petunidin-3-O-glucoside.Peak4(P4):amorphous red powder;ESI–MS m/z433;1H NMR (CF3COOD–CD3OD):d6.67(1H,d,J=1.2Hz,H-6),6.94(1H,d,

R=15.46min)confirmed the molecular formula, C21H21O10,for glucoside derivatives of pelargonidin aglycone.The fragment ion[M+HÀ162]+at m/z271was consistent with the structure of pelargonidin with a loss of glucose moiety from pelargonidin-3-O-glucoside(Hong&Wrolstad,1990).The UV–Vis spectrum of this compound showed the visible k max at506nm.The1H NMR and13C NMR spectra suggested that P4contained a flavanone moiety;the proton signals at d6.67(1H,d,J=1.2Hz)and 6.94(1H,d,J=1.2Hz)implied the presence of two meta-coupled doublet protons on the A-ring which were assigned to H-6and H-8,respectively.Two sets of doublets of an AB system at d7.05 (2H,d,J=8.8Hz)and8.60(2H,d,J=8.8Hz)were observed,which were characteristic of H-30,H-50and H-20,H-60,respectively.As P2, the large coupling constants(J=8Hz)for the anomeric protons (d5.34,1H,d,J=8.0Hz,H-1glc)confirmed the presence of a b-D-glucosidic linkage in P4.By comparison with the literature,P4 was further confirmed as

at m/z 493and331for peak6(t R=15.91min)coinciding with the molec-ular ion of malvidin-3-O-glucoside with a loss of a glucose moiety (Li et al.,2011).Based on the spectrum data and comparing with previously reported data(Alcalde-Eon,Escribano-Bailón,Santos-Buelga,&Rivas-Gonzalo,2006),P6was identified as malvidin-3-O-glucoside.As shown in Fig.3A,there are six principal anthocyanin peaks, and

Hassk fruits extract was62.8±1.2mg/100g of freeze-dried weight of R.tomentosa fruits and it possessed excellent in vitro free radi-cal-scavenging activity.Pure anthocyanins were isolated and ana-lyzed by ESI–MS and NMR spectroscopy.The six anthocyanin structures characterized were delphinidin-3-O-glucoside,cyani-din-3-O-glucoside,petunidin-3-O-glucoside,pelargonidin-3-O-glucoside,peonidin-3-O-glucoside,and malvidin-3-O-glucoside. As a result,this study has systematically documented,for thefirst time,the presence of six anthocyanin derivatives from the tested extract.Fruits of R.tomentosa also contain important amounts of other phenolics,amino acids and ascorbic acid.These phytochemi-cals may partially explain the diverse bioactive properties of thisC.Cui et al./Food Chemistry139(2013)1–87。

Ten batches of Rhizoma chuanxiong collected from different regions in China were used to obtain the characteristic pCEC and HPLC fingerprints using a standardized procedure of sample preparation and analysis. A total of 22 common peaks were isolated within 60min by pCEC and 16 common peaks by HPLC within 65min. The fingerprints of Rhizoma chuanxiong were then used to identify the raw herbs from different sources in China.The two proposed methods demonstrated good stability and reproducibility with RSD less than 5% for retention time in pCEC and in HPLC, respectively. Finally, the data from the analyses of 10 batches of Rhizoma chuanxiong by pCEC and HPLC were all processed with similarity analysis with two mathematical methods, correlation coefficient and the included angle cosine. The fingerprints of Rhizoma chuanxiong established with pCEC and HPLC are suitable to identify samples from different sources and can be used to control the quality of raw herbs.

This makes the quality control of crude drugs and their medical preparations extremely difficult. Traditionally,the contents of active components in TCMs were used to evaluate the quality of raw herbal medicines. How-ever, according to this method, it is difficult to insure the biologically active compounds, and to separate them from the large amounts of proteins, sugars and tannins that may contribute little to the pharmaceutical effects. Furthermore, all the components in TCMs are held to be responsible for the beneficial effects and not just the few active compounds (Drug Administra-tion Bureau of China, 2000). Conventional research focuses mainly on the determination of the most activecomponents, while fingerprinting can offer characteriza-tion of a complex system with a degree of quantitative reliability . In this respect, fingerprinting has gained increasing attention for quality control systems (National Pharmacopoeia Committee, 2000; Gu et al.,2004). Fingerprint analysis has been introduced and accepted by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as one of the requirements for botanical pre-parations (CDER/FDA, 2000) and by the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products for herbal preparations (CPMP/CVMP, 2000). Further-more, fingerprint analysis has been introduced and accepted by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a strategy for assessing herbal medicines (World Health Organization, 1991) and is also required by the State Food and Drug Administration Bureau of China for the standardization of injections made from TCMs or their raw materials (Drug Administration Bureau of China, 2000) Fingerprint analysis of medicinal herbs can be used for identifying and assessing the stability of the plants.Chromatography, including thin-layer chromato-graphy (TLC), high-performance liquid chromato-graphy (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC), is recommended for fingerprinting of TCMs in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (National Pharmacopoeia *Correspondence to: Wei Jia, School of Pharmacy, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, No . 800 Dongchuan Road, Shanghai 200240,People’s Republic of China.E-mail: weijia@Abbreviations used: ACN, acetonitrile; EOF, electro-osmotic flow;Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Biomed.

HPLC has high precision, sensitivity and reproducibility for fingerprinting TCM, but HPLC is not suitable for analysis of some highly viscous samples. CE has high speed, efficiency, ultrasmall sample volume and minimal consumption of solvent, but the reproduc-ibility and the selectivity are not as good as in HPLC.CEC is a hybrid technique that combines the selectivity of HPLC and the separation efficiency of CE How-ever, in practice, when CEC is used without pressure,often on a commercial CE instrument, there were pro-blems associated with bubble formation in CEC, occur-ring initially in the unpacked section of the capillary,probably as a result of differences in velocity of the liquid eluent between the packed and unpacked sec-tions of the capillary (Poppe, 1997; Zhang et al., 2003)and column dry-out . The use of supplementary pre-ssure has proved effective to stabilize the flow con-ditions. Compared with traditional HPLC and CE, the mobile phase in the pCEC system is driven by a pre-ssurized flow and an electro-osmotic flow (EOF) simul-taneously, reducing band broadening and improving separation efficiency. Now pCEC has become an attrac-tive technique for pharmaceutical analysis (Zhang et al.,2003; Lue et al., 2007) because of its combination of the inherent advantages of two major separation tech-niques. Therefore, we intend to develop a characteristic fingerprint of Rhizoma chuanxiong using pCEC and HPLC simultaneously for identifying the raw herb .The fingerprints can also help identify the geographical origins of the samples.Rhizoma chuanxiong , derived from the rhizome of Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. (Umbelliferae ), is a well-known TCM herb with hemodynamic and analgesic effects (National Pharmacopoeia Committee, 2005). Its constituents include ferulic acid, chuanxiongzine (i .e .tetramethylpyrazine) and other compounds (Chen and Chen, 1992; Hu et al., 1990; Mouer et al., 1998; Ozaka and Ma, 1990; Sato et al., 1990; Ho et al., 1989). HPLC has been reported in analysis of components of Rhizoma Chuanxiong (Gong et al., 2003, 2004, 2005; Li et al., 2004; Wang et al., 2000), but these reports are mostly relevant to chemometric approaches for the con-struction of chromatographic fingerprint analysis and do not offer sufficient discrimination to reveal the dif-ferences between similar kinds of compounds. Finger-print analysis of TCMs such as Flos carthami by pCEC and HPLC has been carried out successfully in our studies (Xie et al., 2006). However, at present no report for fingerprint chromatogram analysis of Rhizoma chuanxiong by pCEC was found and no batch compari-son data comparing the traditional technique (HPLC)with pCEC have been reported for evaluation of this TCM In this study, pCEC was applied to develop a fingerprint of Rhizoma chuanxiong for the first time,and the results were compared with those from HPLC.EXPERIMENTALApparatus.All pCEC separation was performed on a Trisep™-2100 capillary electrochromatography system (Unimicro Technologies Inc , Pleasanton, CA, USA) which comprised a Unimicro binary microsyringe pump, a high-voltage power supply (+30 and −30kV), a Valco six-port injection valve, a UV–vis variable wavelength detector equipped with a cell for on-column detection, and an Unimicro Trisep™ workstation 2003, as described in the literature (Jiang et al., 2001). A continuous mobile phase was generated by merging two solvent flows in a mixer and entered the Valco six-port injection valve via a microsyringe pump. Injected samples were delivered to the injection valve and introduced in the internal 10nL sample loop, and then carried to the four-port split valve by the mobile phase flow.After splitting in the four-port valve, the flow entered a capillary column under constant pressure of 13,000kPa .Pressure was applied to the column inlet during the separa-tion . A positive voltage was applied to the outlet of the column, and the inlet of the column was connected to the split valve and grounded.The separation was performed using a reversed-phase column (EP-150-30/50-5-C18, Unimicro Technologies Inc .).The column was 50cm (of which 30cm was packed) ×150µm i d Detection windows (~2mm long) were burned into the column walls. A −10kV voltage was applied across the capillary to produce EOF. The flow-rate was 0.08mL/min and the injection volume was 10nL. The data was collected directly from the UV detector employing a sample wave-length of 280nm and analyzed using the Unimicro Trisep™workstation 2003.The final pCEC mobile phase employed water [0.02% (v/v)trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)] (A) and 95% aqueous methanol [0.02% (v/v) TFA] (B). This was filtered using 0.22µm HPLC filters and separation was achieved using the following gradi-ent: 0–10min, 2–15% B; 10–40min, 15–40% B; 40–65min,40–95% B. Samples and pCEC mobile phases were sonicated prior to use using an ultrasonic bath for 10min at room temperature in order to remove any air bubbles.An Agilent 1100 liquid chromatography (Agilent, USA)equipped with quaternary gradient pump and a UV detection system was used. An HPLC method was developed using a reversed-phase column (Elite Symmetry C 18, 250 × 4.6mm i.d., 5µm). The binary gradient elution system consisted of A [water + 0.5% (v/v) H 3PO 4] and B (methanol) and separation was achieved using the following gradient: 0–3min, 15% B;3–55min, 15–95% B; 55–65min, 95% B . The column temperature was kept constant at 25°C The flow-rate was 1mL/min and the injection volume was 10µL. The UV detec-tion wavelength was set at 280nm.Reagents and materials.Ferulic acid and chuanxiongzine (Fig . 1) were provided by the National Institute for the Control of Pharmaceutics and Biological Products, Beijing,China . Chromatographic-grade methanol (CH 3OH), aceto-nitrile (ACN) and other analytical-grade chemicals were used.Ultrapure water was prepared with the Millipore Milli-Q SP water purification system (18.2M Ω, Milipore, Bedford, MA,USA) All aqueous solutions were prepared with ultrapure water Genuine Rhizoma chuanxiong were purchased fromCopyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Biomed.

Ltd, and collected from different producing areas of China (Table 1). They were verified by Professor Zhong Liu of Shanghai Jiao Tong University of China as the dried rhizome of Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. (Umbelliferae ).Sample preparation.All samples of Rhizoma chuanxiong were kept in a desiccator. About 1.0g of dried samples were ground into powder accurately weighed and extracted with 10mL ethanol–water solution (75:25, v/v) in an ultrasonic water bath for 30min The extraction was repeated twice The extracted solution was combined and centrifuged for about 20min. The supernatant was concentrated by evapora-tion and then the residue was dissolved with methanol–water (75:25, v/v) by ultrasonication (250W) and transferred to a 25mL volumetric flask The fluid was filtered through a syringe filter (0.22µm) and injected directly into the HPLC or pCEC system.Stand ard sample preparation.Standard samples of ferulic acid (0.19mg/mL) and chuanxiongzine (0.18mg/mL) were prepared with methanol.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONEffect of the extraction methodSelection of an extraction method fitted for the type of herb is always challenging and depends on the acces-sibility of plant material and the content of the analyte.A good extraction method for TCM fingerprintingnot only requires more complete isolation of active components from herb, but also allows a comprehen-sive chemical profile . In this work, the ferulic acid content, commonly used as quality index, and the number of peaks were studied by HPLC in order to evaluate the extraction efficiency.Water, 50% aqueous ethanol, 75% aqueous ethanol and 95% aqueous ethanol were chosen as extraction solvents and ultrasonication and refluxing as extraction methods. It was found that the highest content of the ferulic acid in Rhizoma chuanxiong was obtained by ultrasonic extraction and refluxing with 75% aqueous ethanol . The number of peaks in the fingerprint chromatogram was also a key factor in choosing the extraction method and, in this respect, ultrasonic extraction was better than the refluxing method The reproducibility of the full assay, including the whole extraction process, was evaluated and the RSD value was less than 2.5% (n = 3). Moreover, ultrasonication was simpler and faster than refluxing and was therefore selected as the optimum extraction method.Identification of ferulic acid and chuanxiongzine with pCECFerulic acid and chuanxiongzine were the active com-pounds isolated from Rhizoma chuanxiong . Therefore,the active constituents ferulic acid and chuanxiongzine were used as two marker compounds in the Rhizoma chuanxiong fingerprint analysis Standard solutions of ferulic acid and chuanxiongzine were analyzed under the same pCEC conditions as the samples. The result-ing electrochromatogram is shown in Fig . 2(b). The peaks of the samples were identified based on their UV spectra and migration times of the peaks spiked with standard ferulic acid and chuanxiongzine. Peaks 4 and 6 were identified as ferulic acid and chuanxiongzine,respectively [Fig. 2(a)].Fingerprint development of Rhizoma chuanxiong by pCEC(a) The peak shape of ferulic acid and chuanxiongzine and the resolution between them and their neighboring peaks, as well as the resolutions between all the peaks,together with (b) the number of peaks in the whole electrochromatogram, and (c) the separation dura-tion for the process, were considered as the criteria for optimization of the separation conditions Several factors were studied to achieve good separation, includ-ing the mobile phase composition, buffer system and applied voltage.First, the composition of the mobile phase was tested during the separation. The mobile phases used were: (1) water:95% v/v CH 3OH; (2) water:0.02% v/v TFA:95% v/v CH 3OH; (3) water:0.02% v/v TFA:95%Figure 1. Structures of ferulic acid and chuanxiongzine.Table 1.

Xie et al.ORIGINALRESEARCH v/v CH 3OH:0.02% v/v TFA. The separation was per-formed with mobile phase 1 using the following gradi-ent: 0–3min, 15% B; 3–30min, 15–100% B. The peaks were eluted over 20–30min and a poor resolution of chuanxiongzine with its neighboring peaks was ob-served. However, the peak shapes and resolution were greatly improved with mobile phase 2. In addition,when using mobile phase 3 with the following gradient,the separation was completed within 60min with good peak shape and resolution: 0–10min, 2–15% B; 10–40min, 15–40% B; 40–65min, 40–95% B. The resolu-tion between ferulic acid, chuanxiongzine and their neighboring peaks was 2.74 and 3.24, respectively.The effect of using of different acids, such as acetic acid (HAC), formic acid (FA), phosphoric acid (PA)and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), on the separation of samples was investigated. Addition of HAC resulted inFigure 2. Electrochromatograms of marker compound of ferulic acid and chuanxiongzine (b),and Rhizoma chuanxiong (sample 6) (a). Peak 4, ferulic acid; peak 6, chuanxiongzine.low peak sensitivity and resolution, and poor peak shape. In contrast, when the pH of mobile phase was adjusted with FA, PA and TFA, the sensitivity, resolu-tion and peak shapes became better and the best reso-lution was achieved with 0.02% TFA . The baseline noise was 40, 7, 5 and 4µV using HAC, FA, PA and TFA, respectively. To improve peak shape and resolu-tion, all other pCEC separation were performed using TFA as the acid modifier Finally, water:002% TFA and 95% methanol:0.02% TFA were chosen as the mobile phase.The influence of an applied voltage (−15 to +15kV)was examined There were 55 peaks on the electro-chromatogram with an applied voltage of −10kV, while there were only 32 peaks at +10kV. As anticipated, a higher voltage reduced the retention time of peaks due to an increase in the net velocity.However, the pCECCopyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Biomed. Chromatogr . 21: 867–875 (2007)DOI: 10.1002/bmcFingerprint analysis of Rhizoma chuanxiong 871ORIGINALRESEARCH system became less stable due to resulting Joule heat of the high applied voltage. A decrease in resolution was observed when the applied voltage was at −15kV and at the same time, when the applied voltage was +15kV,small bubbles were observed due to the differences in velocity of the liquid eluent between the packed and unpacked sections of the capillary and the resulting Joule heat (Poppe, 1997; Zhang et al., 2003). The peak of the measured compound also varied when different voltages were applied; for example, ferulic acid exhi-bited a single peak when negative voltage was applied,and the single peak split into two peaks when positive voltage was applied . Therefore, a voltage of −10kV was used throughout the reminder of this study.To develop characteristic fingerprints, all the experi-mental procedures, including the extracting and the analytical conditions and methods, must be standard-ized. The determinant of the analytical conditions and methods was described earlier. The method validation of fingerprint analysis was performed based on the relative migration time (the ratio of peak migration time of sample constituents to the reference peak) and the relative peak area (the ratio of peak area of sample constituents to the reference peak).The sample solution was successively injected into the pCEC system and analyzed five times Precisions not exceeding 2.9 and 5.3% were obtained for relative migration times and relative areas of all peaks, respec-tively. The results of the precision tests indicated that the method was suitable for the analysis. The inter-day precisions of the proposed method, on the basis of analyzing five replicate samples on separate days,were below 3.1% for relative migration times and below 6.3% for relative peak areas. The stability test was performed with sample solutions extracted from Dujiangyan, Rhizoma chuanxiong , for 24h The rela-tive standard deviations (RSDs) of the relative migra-tion times and the relative peak areas were less than 5.8%. This indicated that the sample solution was stable for 24h and was fit for the analysis. The repro-ducibility test—analysis of five samples that were pre-pared from the same batch of the dried flower—was also satisfied by the result that the RSDs of the relative retention times and relative peak areas of all peaks were less than 5.0%.To standardize the characteristic fingerprint of the raw herb, 10 batches of 1.0g Rhizoma chuanxiong samples each from Dujiangyan were mixed homo-geneously. A 1.0g mixture was taken out and analyzed with the developed procedure . The average electro-chromatogram from the 10 batches was regarded as the standardized characteristic fingerprint of Rhizoma chuanxiong. Peaks that existed in all 10 electro-chromatograms were labeled as ‘common peaks’ for Rhizoma chuanxiong . There are 22 ‘common peaks’ in the fingerprint [Fig . 2(a)]. The area of all 22 peaks accounted for more than 90% of total peak area. The relative migration time (the ratio of peak migration time of sample constituents to the reference peak)and the relative peak area (the ratio of peak area of sample constituents to the reference peak) are shown in Table 2. The whole electrochromatographic profile,including the peaks, together with the marker com-pound ferulic acid and chuanxiongzine, could provide a useful means of identifying and assessing Rhizoma chuanxiong Using the relative peak areas of the 22common peaks in the electrochromatograms of the 10 samples, similarity analyses (National Institute for the Control of Pharmaceutics and Biological Products,2004; Wang et al., 2005) were conducted with two dif-ferent mathematical methods including the correlation coefficient and the included angle cosine, and the results are shown in Table 4.

It is concluded that most of these samples are alike except for samples 2 and 5.Fingerprint d evelopment of Rhizoma chuanxiong by HPLC.In order to obtain good resolution and a large number of peaks, optimization of separation con-ditions in HPLC was done by investigating the influ-ence of the mobile phase, the detection wavelength and the gradient mode Preliminary studies indicated that better separation and results were obtained using the mobile phase of A (water + 0.5% H 3PO 4) and B (methanol) than the same CEC eluent for HPLC for comparison between the techniques. Therefore, in this work, methanol and water were chosen as the mobile phase. A small amount of H 3PO 4 was added to the mo-bile phase in order to obtain better shape of peaks. The optimum mobile phase was A (water + 0.5% H 3PO 4)and B (methanol) in the gradient mode as follows: 0–3min, 15% B; 3–55min, 15–95% B; 55–65min, 95%B. The column temperature was kept constant at 25°C.The flow-rate was 1mL/min and the injection volume was 10µL. In order to obtain a large number of peaks on the HPLC chromatogram, the solution of ferulic acid, chuanxiongzine and the sample of Rhizoma chuanxiong were scanned by UV from 190 to 600nm;280nm was selected as the best detection wavelength.Chromatograms of 10 samples were placed into one, shown in Fig . 3. There are about 50 peaks within 65min in the chromatogram . Among these,16 common peaks [shown in Fig . 3(c)] were found in the standard fingerprint of Rhizoma chuanxiong .The total peak area of non-common peaks was less than 10%, which met the standards. The relative migra-tion time (the ratio of peak migration time of sample constituents to the reference peak) and the relative peak area (the ratio of peak area of sample con-stituents to the reference peak) are shown in Table 3.The method validation of fingerprint analysis was performed based on the relative migration time and the relative peak area.The sample solution was successively injected into the HPLC system and analyzed five times. Precisions not exceeding 0.8 and 1.9% were obtained for relative migration times and relative peak areas of all peaks,respectively . The results of precision tests indicated that the method was good for the analysis. The inter-day precisions of the proposed method, on the basis of analyzing five replicate samples on separate days,were below 0.9% for relative migration times and within 2.3% for relative peak areas. The stability test was performed with sample solutions extracted from Dujiangyan Rhizoma chuanxiong for 24h. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the relative migration times and the relative peak areas were less than 2.8%.This indicated that the sample solution was stable for 24h and suitable for the analysis. The reproducibility test—the analysis of five samples that were prepared from the same batch of the dried flower—was also satisfied by the results that the RSDs of the relative retention times and relative peak areas of all peaks were less than 2.5%.Sixteen common peaks, which appeared in the fingerprint of the genuine herb, represented the char-acteristics of the herb’s constituents, and the result of the relative values of the 10 samples, the peaks,together with the index compound, ferulic acid, could provide a useful means of identifying and assessing Rhizoma chuanxiong . As shown in Table 4, the values of the correlation coefficient and the included angle cosine with HPLC are slightly higher than that with pCEC . Sample 5, from Chongzhou Guansheng in China, is obviously different from the other samples,indicating that place of origin significantly influences the kinds and content of components in crude TCMs,and hence affects their quality.Comparison of pCEC and HPLC fingerprinting Both pCEC and HPLC could display the whole con-centration distribution of different kinds of compo-nents, which is the most important character of aCopyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Biomed.

This figure is available in colour online at /journal/bmcfingerprint. Characteristics of pCEC and HPLC methods used to develop TCM fingerprints are summarized in Table 5.The number of common peaks, the non-common peak area, the reproducibility, the resolution andsystem suitability were key factors. The sample loaded onto pCEC was very small (10nL), which led to rela-tively low stability . As shown in Table 5, HPLC is advantageous for precision and stability of the analysis,while pCEC is superior in resolution, sensitivity and。
