PG - 861-873 LID - 10.1002/pca.2951 [doi] AB - INTRODUCTION: Trillium govanianum (Nag Chhatri and Teen Patra) is traditionally used for curing joint pains, wounds, and sexual disorders. Steroidal saponins are the main active components of this species. However, only a small amount of information is available about steroidal saponins of this plant. OBJECTIVE: To develop an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS) and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-evaporative light scattering detector (UHPLC-ELSD) methods for the qualitative and quantitative determination of steroidal saponins in T. govanianum. METHOD: The dried rhizomes of T. govanianum (100 mg) were extracted with ethanol-water (80:20, 10 mL) by ultrasonic treatment for 30 min at 40 degrees C. The prepared sample was analysed by UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS and UHPLC-ELSD for the qualitative and quantitative determination of steroidal saponins. RESULT: A total of 24 saponins were identified using UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS; seven of them were characterised by comparing with standards. Furthermore, five saponins [govanoside B (2), protodioscin (6), pennogenin tetraglycosides (11), borassoside E (21) and borassoside D (24)] were quantified using UHPLC-ELSD method in different extracts and fractions of T. govanianum. The method showed good linearity (R(2) >/= 0.993), limit of detection (0.92-4.09 mug/mL), limit of quantification (3.1-13.5 mug/mL), precision [intra-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) < 4.3% and inter-day RSDs < 5.5%], and accuracy (84.0-110.3%). This is the first report on the quantification of 2, 6, 11, 21 and 24 in T. govanianum. CONCLUSION: The present study provides an efficient analytical method for the identification and quantification of steroidal saponins and will be helpful for the quality evaluation of T. govanianum.
