Isovitexin, a marker compound with various pharmacological activities, in Lespedeza cuneata, was analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with UV (HPLC/UV). There are no previous reports on using L. cuneata as the source material for the quantification of isovitexin. In this study, we developed an optimized method using HPLC-UV analysis, which was validated using various parameters. Our method demonstrated high specificity, and good separation of the chromatographic peak was achieved. Parameters such as linearity (r2≥0.9997), precision, and accuracy indicated that our proposed analytical method had good reliability and sensitivity. These results demonstrate the utility and convenience of our method for rapidly quantifying isovitexin in L. cuneata extracts.

In this work, we describes analysis of the antioxidant potential of Korean green tea phenolics using an high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on-line $ABTS^{+}$ antioxidant screening method. In conjunction with the analysis of their 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS+) radical scavenging ability, the extraction of catechine compounds from Korean green tea were performed by various temperature and time. The optimum operating conditions were experimentally determined to analyze the catechine compounds in the pretreatment extracts. From the results, the extraction temperature $60^{\circ}C$, time 3 min was selected as an optimal antioxidant activity condition. The analysis by $C_{18}$ column was performed, the flow rate of mobile phase and UV wavelength was fixed at 1.0 ml/min and 254 nm, respectively. the mobile phase was composed from acetonitrile and water, and the gradient elution mode were applied.

A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed for quantitative analysis of liquiritin and glycyrrhizin in Sagunja-tang (SGT, Sijunzi-tang in Chinese), a traditional Korean medicine. HPLC analysis was performed using a Gemini C18 column operating at $40^{\circ}C$, and photodiode array (PDA) detection at 254 nm and 280 nm for quantification of the two components in SGT. The mobile phase using a gradient flow consisted of two solvent systems. Solvent A was 1.0% (v/v) aqueous acetic acid and solvent B was acetonitrile with 1.0% (v/v) acetic acid. Calibration curves were acquired with $r^2$ values > 0.9998, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs, %) for intra- and inter-day precision were not exceed 4.0%. The recovery of each component was in the range of 91.85 - 108.62%, with a RSD less than 4.0%. The contents of the two components in SGT were 7.94 - 13.83 mg/g.

Polymethoxyflavones (PMFs) are a group of polymethoxylated bioactive flavones with diverse biological activities, including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral activities. PMFs are found from various plants such as orange, tangerine, and krachaidum. To establish the simple quantitative analytical methods for PMFs, chromatographic analysis was applied to the selected krachaidum foods because krachaidum contains diverse PMFs compared to other PMF-containing foods. Krachaidum is the rhizome of Kaempferia parviflora, and many commercial krachaidum products, such as tea, juice and wine, are commercially available and consumed as health functional foods in Asian countries. Apart from the claimed health promoting benefits, reliable quality assurance and legal guideline for the registration of these products are not available yet. Twelve PMFs were analyzed from the commercial krachaidum foods by GC-FID and HPLC-DAD. No single chromatographic method could not analyze 12 PMFs simultaneously. HPLC-DAD method was found more sensitive to detect PMFs. Based on our analysis data, we proposed 5,7-dimethoxyflaone and 5,7,4'-trimethoxyflavone as index components for the food products.

For determination of separated pesticides by using GC and HPLC, liquid-liquid extraction(LLE) and solid phase extraction(SPE) have been carried out to separate and concentrate the organophophorous pesticides such as Diazinon, Fenitrothion, Phosmet, Phosalon and EPN in environmental water samples. ln determination of pesticides by HPLC/UV, SPE has resulted in higher recovery and more precision than LLE, while in determination of pesticides by GC/FPD, vice versa. HPLC/UV after the pretreatment process of sample by solid phase extraction (SPE-HPLC/UV) has suggested the possibility of determination of pesticides ppb level. ln comparison of detection limit, both SPE-HPLC/UV and LLE-GC/FPD are reasonably suitable for analysis of residue pesticides. ln the respect of the rapidity and the solvent required, SPE-HPLC/UV method has proven to be superior to LLE-GC/FPD.

In this study, we describe the development of a new high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the simultaneous analysis of six bioactive compounds (including gallic acid, epicatechin 3-gallate, quercitrin, afzelin, quercetin, and kaempferol) from Orostachys japonicus. The extraction method was investigated and optimization of the extraction time (min), solvent composition (%), and solvent to material ratio were conducted. As a result, 30 min extraction with 50% methanol and 40:1 mL/g of solvent: material ratio achieved the highest extraction efficiency with a yield of 3.32 mg/g. Furthermore, the developed HPLC method was validated and the correlation coefficient (R) values were within the satisfactory range of 0.9995-0.9999 over the linearity range of 1.53-417 ㎍/mL. The limit of detection and limit of quantification for the six active components were between 0.03-0.08 ㎍/mL and 0.08-0.26 ㎍/mL, respectively. With these newly optimized and developed methods, four batches of O. japonicus were analyzed to confirm the high extraction efficiency of the method and the feasibility of an application.

This study was carried out to establish a new efficient method for isolation and purification of ginsenosides. Silica gel column chromatography, having been used for the isolation of ginsenosides, is advantageous to obtain a large amount of ginsenosides. However, it has a disadvantage to isolate ginsenosides to their highest purity. In addition, normal-or reverse-phase HPLC method thus far reported is confined to quantitative analysis. Especially, it has not been possible to isolate racemic 20(S)- and 20(R)-ginsenoside Rg2. In this experiment, isolation and purification of ginsenosides were accomplished by Diaion HP-20 adsorption chromatography, silica gel column chromatography, recrystalization and Prep. HPLC with or without Prep. TLC. From this study, we could establish a new efficient method for isolation and purification of 9 major and/or minor ginsenosides.

Xanthii Fructus has been traditionally used for the treatment of rhinitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and eczema. In this study, a high-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array (HPLC-PDA) method was developed and then used for the simultaneous analysis of eight phenylpropanoids in Xanthii Fructus. The analytical column used for this separation was a $SunFire^{TM}$ $C_{18}$ column, maintained at $40^{\circ}C$. The mobile phase used was 1.0% acetic acid in distilled water and 1.0% acetic acid in acetonitrile with gradient elution. For identify of each component, the mass spectrometer (MS) was used a Waters triple quadrupole mass spectrometer requipped with electrospray ionization (ESI) source. The HPLC-PDA method showed good linearity: correlation coefficients were ${\geq}0.9996$. The limits of detection and quantification of the eight compounds were 0.02 - 0.04 and $0.06-0.14{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The extraction recoveries ranged from 97.51 to 108.67%. The relative standard deviation values of intra- and inter-day precision were 0.06 - 1.55 and 0.09 - 1.68%, respectively. The validated HPLC-PDA method was applied to simultaneously analyse the amounts of eight phenlypropanoids in Xanthii Fructus.

A reverse-phase, ion-pair high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the simultaneous quantative determination of pyridostigmine and its hydrolytic product, 3-hydroxy-N-methylpyridinium (HMP), is descrihed, The assay of pyridostigmine and HMP was linear in the range of amount from 24 to 60 mg/tablet and from 2.4 to 12.0 mg/tablet, respectively, with coefficient of variation (C.V.) of 0.05-0.12% (n=7) and 0.25-0.52% (n=5), respectively, and applicable conveniently even in the case of the mixture of pyridostigmine and HMP. Meanwhile, the conventional UV method gave inaccurate results for the aged pyridostigmine tablets. In the extraction of pyridostigmine from tablets prior to be assayed by HPLC, methanol was found to be more effective than ethanol or distilled water. Multiple extraction (four times) with methanol resulted in the full recovery of pyridostigmine, whereas ethanol gave 95% recovery even after four times extraction. Based on these results. the present method would be very useful for the accurate determination of pyridostigmine in the aged pyridostigmine tablets.
