Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To develop the fingerprint of Wenyujin Rhizoma Concisum by CO
2-supercritical fluid chromatography(CO
2-SFC).
METHODS The determination of similarity was performed on a ACQUITY UPC
2 HSS C
18 SB analytical column(3.0 mm×150 mm, 1.8 μm) with CO
2(A)-acetonitrile(B) as mobile phase in a gradient elution program at a flow rate of 1 mL·min
-1. The detection wavelength was 216 nm. The column temperature was maintained at 55℃. and the back pressure was 2 000 psi.
RESULTS the established determination method for the fingerprint of Wenyujin Rhizoma Concisum could be used for the similarity determination on it, the average similarities of the 15 batches was 0.968 with RSD was 2.6%, while the unofficial samples were <0.400.
CONCLUSION The developed method is simplify, rapidly, stability, and environmental friendly, which is helpful to identify the official and unofficial samples of Wenyujin Rhizoma Concisum.
