摘要 [Objectives] To establish a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for comparing the content differences of xanthopurpurin in raw Rubia cordifolia and its charred products processed at different temperatures, sourced from various regions. [Methods] The chromatographic separation was performed using an HPLC COLUMN C18. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.2% phosphoric acid solution (50:50, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Detection was carried out at 245 nm, and the column temperature was maintained at 30 ℃. [Results] Xanthopurpurin exhibited a good linear relationship within the range of 6.712~83.905 μg/mL (r=1.000 0). The average recovery rate was 101.3% with an RSD of 2.1% (n=6). Content determination results showed that the xanthopurpurin content in raw R. cordifolia ranged from 0.040 0 to 0.169 3 mg/g. In charred R. cordifolia processed at 110-130 ℃, it ranged from 0.309 2 to 0.380 1 mg/g, while in charred R. cordifolia processed at 350-370 ℃, it ranged from 0.512 8 to 1.168 8 mg/g. A significant increasing trend in xanthopurpurin content was observed with rising charring temperatures. [Conclusions] This method is simple, accurate, feasible, and reproducible. It can effectively distinguish between raw R. cordifolia and its charred products processed at different temperatures, providing a scientific basis for the quality evaluation of charred R. cordifolia and its formulations in traditional Chinese medicine.
