Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish an LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of ginsenosides Rg
1 and Rb
1 in total saponins of stem base of
Panax notognseng.
METHODS BDS HYPERSUL C
18 (150 mm×2.1 mm, 5 mm) was used with a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water(gradient elution). The column temperature was 30 ℃. The ginsenosides Rg
1 and Rb
1 were detected by the negative electrospray ionization mode (Rg
1 m/z 799.6→475.5; Rb
1 m/z 1107.9→783.7; paclitaxel
m/z 852.5→525.3).
RESULTS The calibration curves of ginsenosides Rg
1 and Rb
1 were linear in the range of 0.173-17.3 mg·mL
-1 and 0.159-16.0 mg·mL
-1 respectively. The precision and accuracy were accord with the requirements.
CONCLUSION The results show that this method established in the present research is accurate, sensitive and specific. And it is suitable for simultaneous determination of ginsenosides Rg
1 and ginsenosides Rb
1 in total saponins of stem base of
Panax notognseng.
