A new, simple, and sensitive high-performance
liquid chromatography–diode array detector (HPLC–DAD)
method was developed for the simultaneous determination of six
major xanthone glycosides in Halenia elliptica. The
chemical profile of six xanthone glycosides, including 2,3,5-trimethoxy-1-O-primeverosyloxyxanthone
(Analyte 1), 2,3,4,5-tetramethoxy-1-O-primeverosyloxyxanthone
(Analyte 2), 2,3,5,7-tetramethoxy-1-O-primeverosyloxyxanthone
(Analyte 3), 2,3,7-trimethoxy-1-O-primeverosyloxyxanthone (Analyte
4), 2,3,4,7-tetramethoxy-1-O-primeverosyloxy-xanthone (Analyte
5), and 2,3,4,5,7-pentamethoxy-1-O-primeverosyloxy-xanthone (Analyte
6) were acquired by using HPLC–DAD coupled to an electrospray
ionization mass spectrometer. The analysis was performed on a
Kromasil C18 column (5 µm, 250 ×4.6 mm
i.d.), using acetonitrile–H2O (25:75, v/v) as
the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. Under UV detection
at 260 nm, the recoveries of the analytes were in the range of
96.1–100.3%, the LODs
were within 0.20 µg/mL, and all the xanthone glycosides
showed good linearity (r ≥ 0.9990) in a relatively wide concentration
range; the intra-day relative standard deviations (%) ranged
from 0.65 to 1.39%, and the inter-day RSDs% were not higher than
5%. The proposed method is suitable for quantitative and qualitative
determination of the xanthone glycosides in H.
elliptica.
