In this study, a new and rapid method for determining four bioactive compounds in herbs was developed using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. The method involved the use of supramolecular solvent (SUPRAS) for extraction, and showed high efficiency, green characteristics, and sensitivity.
In the present study, a new and rapid method for determining four bioactive compounds of Centella asiatica (C. asiatica) in herbs was developed based on high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Supramolecular solvent (SUPRAS), formed by n-hexanol, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and water, was used for extracting madecassoside (MS), asiaticoside (AS), asiatic acid (AA) and madecassic acid (MA) from herbs. The sample was extracted with 4 mL of SUPRAS for 5 min. Then centrifugation was performed for phase separation followed by direct analysis by HPLC-MS/MS. Driving forces for the extraction of herbs in the SUPRAS involved both dispersion and hydrogen bond interactions. The effect of the parameters, including compounds of supramolecular solvents, dosage and vortex time, on the extraction efficiency was investigated. The recoveries were carried out at three levels with spiked samples and in the range of 91.6%-99.9%, with relative standard deviations between 1.7%-7.9%. The novel SUPRAS method, coupled with HPLC-MS/MS, was proved to be efficiency, green, and sensitive. It was applied for determination of four target compounds in herbs.
