摘要
A high-performance liquid chromatographic method using diode-array detection and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS) was developed for the qualitative and quantitative analysis on Xanthium fruit, a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine. In this study, 7 characteristic components, 1-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid, chlorogenic acid, 1,5-O-di-caffeoylquinic acid, 1,3-O-di-caffeoylquinic acid, 4,5-O-di-caffeoylquinic acid and 1,3,5-0-tricaffeoylquinic acid were identified and quantified by a validated HPLC-DAD method, and a fingerprint comprised of 12 markers was established under the same operating conditions. Furthermore, HPLC-ESI-MS/MS method was successfully used to deduce the structure of three main constituents. On the basis of the established chromatographic profiles, 30 populations of cocklebur samples including 3 related species and 1 unknown species were divided into 3 chemotypes, indicated that place of origin significantly influences the kinds and content of components in cocklebur, and hence affects their quality. The simultaneous determination of 7 caffeoylquinic acids in the 30 samples showed a great variety in the amounts of caffeoylquinic acids present. The study indicated that some species such as Xanthium mongolicum of the genus Xanthium might be suitable for development as new alternative sources of caffeoylquinic acids to supplement the officially listed Xanthium species, and the abundant constituents such as chlorogenic acid perhaps should be recorded in some authorized publications and applied to the quality control or quality evaluation for Xanthium in China. The entire analytical procedure is reproducible and suitable for the authentication and quantification of Xanthium fruits.
