Abstract
Capillary zone electrophoretic (CZE) separation of pharmacologically active alkaloids, matrine, sophocarpine, sophoridine, oxymatrine, and oxysophocar pine, was systematically optimized, and their contents in different parts o f Sophora species were quantitatively determined within 16 min under the fo llowing optimized conditions: 0.04 mol/L citrate buffer system at pH 4.5, a pplied voltage 30 kV, capillary temperature 25 degreesC, and diode array de tection at 201 nm. The recoveries are from 90 to 108%, with repeatability r anging from 0.7 to 4.2% (relative standard deviation) and the detection lim its ranging from 0.032 to 0.070 mg/mL (signal to noise ratio = 3). The prop osed CZE method is suitable for routine analysis and quality control of her bal medicines that contain these alkaloids. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc .
