PG - 115199 LID - S0731-7085(22)00620-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jpba.2022.115199 [doi] AB - Yihuang decoction (YHD) is one of the most famous formulas in tradition Chinese medicine (TCM) and has been clinically used for treatment of vaginitis, pelvic inflammation and other gynecological diseases for hundreds of years. However, its chemical composition remains unclear. In this study, high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-TOF-MS) was employed for its chemical profiling investigation. As a result, 90 components were chemically defined, including 23 alkaloids, 14 organic acids, 3 phenylethanoid glycosides, 4 iridoid glycosides, 5 terpenoid lactones, 10 flavonoids, 8 nucleobases and nucleosides, 12 amino acids, and 11 other compounds. In addition, 8 representative compounds (acteoside, allantoin, berberine, 4-O-feruloylquinic acid, 5-O-feruloylquinic acid, gallic acid, geniposidic acid, and phellodendrine) were simultaneously determined in 10 batches of YHD samples by HPLC with a diode array detector (HPLC-DAD). For all the analytes, their calibration curves showed good linearity (R(2) >0.9990) within the test ranges. RSDs of precision, repeatability and stability test were all below 3.50%. The overall recoveries ranged from 93.63% to 105.02%, with RSDs less than 3.50%. This study is supposed to exhibit a comprehensive chemical profiling of YHD and to provide some strong basis for quality control and even for action mechanism of this ancient classical prescription.
