Abstract:

Calycosin-7-glucoside, which is the target ingredient of the Astragalus membranaceus extraction solution, was studied by the high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector method (HPLC-DAD), and a high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization detector method (HPLC-CAD) was also established for fingerprint chromatogram analysis. Meanwhile, the heavy metal content was tested to build a quality control standard for Astragalus membranaceus extraction solution. Result shows a good linearity in 4-80 μg/mL mass concentration range with the correlation coefficient r=0.999, RSD=2.4%, and the recovery rate is between 99.2%-102.7%. The fingerprint chromatogram analysis features with 14 specific peaks, including 5 identified components. The similarity is between 0.485 to 0.995. Content of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium are below the detection limit, and the content of arsenic is less than 2 mg/kg. This research results can serve as process optimization basis and quality control standards for Astragalus membranaceus extraction solution, and provide reference to quality control and research guideline for other cosmetics using herbal extracts as raw materials.
