Generally, Gwakhyangjeonggi-san has been used for treatment of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome. In this study, an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometer method was established for the simultaneous quantification of marker compounds 1-20 in Gwakhyangjeonggi-san water extract. All analytes were separated by gradient elution using two mobile phases on a UPLC BEH $C_{18}$ ($100{\times}2.1mm$, $1.7{\mu}m$) column and maintained at $45^{\circ}C$. The injection volume was $2.0{\mu}L$ and the flow rate was 0.3 mL/min with detection at mass spectrometer. Regression equations of the compounds 1-20 were acquired with $r^2$ values ${\geq}0.9950$. The values of limit of detection and quantification of all analytes were 0.01-2.79 ng/mL and 0.03-8.37 ng/mL, respectively. The amounts of the compounds 1-20 in Gwakhyangjeonggi-san water extract were not detected $-3,236.67{\mu}g/g$. The established LC-MS/MS methods will be valuable to improve quality control of traditional herbal formula, Gwakhyangjeonggi-san.

The hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain and the polar sulfate group confer surfactant properties and enable them to be used as anionic surfactants. Anionic surfactants (AS) are known for their adverse impact on environment, particularly on aquatic ecosystem. In the present study a fast, sensitive and selective method for the determination and subsequent quantification of six anionic surfactants was developed using hydrophilic interactive liquid chromatography (HILIC) coupled to a electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometer (MS), in the concentration range 15-20 ${\mu}g/L$. The capability of the method was established using regression analysis and ANOVA. The method performance was evaluated by analyzing real time surface water spiked with 1-dodecyl hydrogen sulfate at 15 ${\mu}g/L$. Combined efficiency of solid phase extraction and MS detection established recovery of 89% in presence of natural matrix. These results point out that HILIC coupled to multistage MS procedures can be a powerful technique for environmental applications concerning the screening of polar contaminants.

Ginseng (Panax ginseng Meyer) has been used as traditional herbal drug in Asian countries. Ginsenosides are major components having pharmacological and biological efficacy like anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and anti-tumor effects. To control the quality of the components in diverse ginseng products, we developed a new quantitative method using LC-MS/MS for 13 ginsenosides; Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Re, Rf, 20(S)-Rh1, 20(S)-Rh2, Rg1, 20(S)-Rg3, F1, F2, and compound K. This method was successfully validated for linearity, precision, and accuracy. This quantification method applied in four representative ginseng products; fresh ginseng powder, white ginseng powder, red ginseng extract powder, and red ginseng extract. Here the amounts of the 13 ginsenosides in the various type of ginseng samples could be analyzed simultaneously and expected to be suitable for quality control of ginseng products.

Acer tegmentosum Maxim (ATM) has been used to treat hepatic disorders in traditional oriental medicine. However, there is little information about phytochemical constituents for quality control of ATM. In this study, we developed and established a simultaneous analytical method of the 10 marker compounds (three coumarins, 3 flavonoids, 1 lignan, 3 phenolics) in ATM using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Chromatographic separation of ten target analytes was achieved with a Waters Acquity UPLC BEH $C_{18}$ analytical column ($2.1{\times}100mm$, $1.7{\mu}m$), using a mobile phase of 0.1% (v/v) formic acid in water and acetonitrile with gradient elution. Identifications and quantitation of all analytes were performed using a Q-Exactive UPLC-MS/MS system. Correlation coefficients of the calibration curve for all analytes were ${\geq}0.9986$. The values of limits of detection and quantification of all analytes were 0.5-10.0 and 5.0-50.0 ng/mL, respectively. The established UPLC-MS/MS method successfully identified all target analytes in ATM, and the phytochemicals were 0.01-67.98 mg/g in its lyophilized water extract.

A high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the simultaneous determination of hesperidin and glycyrrhizin was established for the quality control of traditional herbal medicinal preparation, Pyungwi-san (PWS). Separation and quantification were successfully achieved with a Waters XTerra RP18 column ($5{\mu}m$, 4.6 mm I.D. ${\times}$ 150 mm) by gradient elution of a mixture of acetonitrile and water containing 0.03% phosphoric acid (pH 2.03) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The diode-array UV/vis detector (DAD) was used for the detection and the wavelength for quantification was set at 230 nm. The presence of hesperidin and glycyrrhizin in this extract was ascertained by retention time, spiking with each authentic standard and UV spectrum. All four compounds showed good linearity $(r^2>0.995)$ in a relatively wide concentration ranges. The R.S.D. for intra-day and inter-day precision was less than 7.0% and the limits of detection (LOD) were less than 60 ng. The mean recovery of each compound was 99.0-105.6% with R.S.D. values less than 4.0%. This method was successfully applied to the determination of contents of hesperidin and glycyrrhizin in three commercial products of PWS. These results suggest that the developed HPLC method is simple, effective and could be readily utilized as a quality control method for commercial PWS products.

All analytes were separated on a Waters Acquity UPLC BEH $C_{18}$ analytical column ($2.1{\times}100mm$, $1.7{\mu}m$) at $45^{\circ}C$ using a mobile phase of 0.1% (v/v) formic acid in water and acetonitrile with gradient elution. The MS analysis was carried out using a Waters ACQUITY TQD LC-MS/MS coupled with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source in the positive and negative modes. The flow rate and injection volume were 0.3 mL/min and $2.0{\mu}L$, respectively. The correlation coefficient of all analytes in the test ranges was greater than 0.98. The limits of detection and quantification values of the 25 marker compounds were in the ranges 0.03-19.43 and 0.09-58.29 ng/mL, respectively. As a result, methyl gallate, 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, evodiamine, and rutecarpine were not detected in this sample and the concentrations of the 21 compounds except for the above 4 compounds were $33.09-3,496.32{\mu}g/g$ in Onkyung-tang decoction. Among these compounds, paeonol was detected at the highest amount as a $3,496.32{\mu}g/g$.

GC-NPD를 이용하여 pencycuron의 다종농약다성분 분석법을 확립하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 제시된 분석법의 검증을 위해 예비 실험을 거쳐 농약이 검출되지 않은 상추, 시금치, 엇갈이배추, 근대, 아욱, 배추를 대상으로 실험하였다. Pencycuron 표준용액을 0.02-2 mg/kg의 농도로 희석하여 분석한 검량선의 직선성($r^2$ = 0.9999)은 우수하였다. 검출한계는 0.005 mg/kg이고 정량한계는 0.02 mg/kg이며 회수율은 79.6-112.1%, 분석오차는 최대 4.9%미만으로 잔류농약 분석법에서 허용되는 회수율 기준 70-120% 범위와 분석오차 20% 이하의 기준에 적합하였다. 정밀도는 intra-day test에서 1.6-3.0%, inter-day test에서 5.3-11.5%를 나타내어 다종농약다성분 분석법을 통해 pencycuron의 직선성, 검출한계, 정량한계, 회수율과 정밀도를 검증하고 정확성을 증명하였다. 오랜 시간이 걸려 추출, 정제, 유도체화 과정을 거치는 분석법보다 빠르고 간편한 실험법인 다종농약다성분 분석법이 pencycuron의 분석시에 유용한 분석법으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In order to distinguish the cultivation area of Panax ginseng, principal component analysis (PCA) using quantitative and qualitative data acquired from HPLC was carried out. A new HPLC method coupled with evaporative light scattering detection (HPLC-ELSD) was developed for the simultaneous quantification of ten major ginsenosides, namely $Rh_1$, $Rg_2$, $Rg_3$, $Rg_1$, Rf, Re, Rd, $Rb_2$, Rc, and $Rb_1$ in the root of P. ginseng C. A. Meyer. Simultaneous separations of these ten ginsenosides were achieved on a carbohydrate analytical column. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-water-isopropanol, and acetonitrile-water-isopropanol using a gradient elution. Distinct differences in qualitative and quantitative characteristics for ginsenosides were found between the ginseng roots produced in two different Korean cultivation areas, Ganghwa and Punggi. The ginsenoside profiles obtained via HPLC analysis were subjected to PCA. PCA score plots using two principal components (PCs) showed good separation for the ginseng roots cultivated in Ganghwa and Punggi. PC1 influenced the separation, capturing 43.6% of the variance, while PC2 affected differentiation, explaining 18.0% of the variance. The highest contribution components were ginsenoside $Rg_3$ for PC1 and ginsenoside Rf for PC2. Particularly, the PCA score plot for the small ginseng roots of six-year old, each of which was light than 147 g fresh weight, showed more distinct discrimination. PC1 influenced the separation between different sample sets, capturing 51.8% of the variance, while PC2 affected differentiation, also explaining 28.0% of the variance. The highest contribution component was ginsenoside Rf for PC1 and ginsenoside $Rg_2$ for PC2. In conclusion, the HPLC-ELSD method using a carbohydrate column allowed for the simultaneous quantification of ten major ginsenosides, and PCA analysis of the ginsenoside peaks shown on the HPLC chromatogram would be a very acceptable strategy for discrimination of the cultivation area of ginseng roots.

본 연구에서는 trimethylsilyl (TMS) 및 trifluoroacetyl (TFA)유도체화를 이용하여 소변여지에서 대사이상 질환을 신속하게 스크리닝하는 GC/MS 분석법을 개발하였다. 유기산과 아미노산을 동시에 유도체화하기 위해 메틸오렌지를 지시약으로 하여 $60^{\circ}C-70^{\circ}C$에서 15-20 분간 카르복실기는 TMS로 아미노기는 TFA로 유도체한 후 GC/MS-SIM으로 분석하였다. 유기산과 아미노산의 직선성의 범위는 0.001-50 mg이었고, 소변에서의 검출한계는 10-200 ng, 정량한계는 80-900 ng 이었다. 직선성을 보이는 범위에서의 상관계수(R2)는 0.994-0.998이었고, 회수율은 methylcitric acid와 glycine을 제외하고 80-100%를 보였다. 이 방법은 기존의 유기산분석에는 GC/MS를 아미노산 분석에는 아미노산분석기를 사용하는 것과 비교할 때 GC/MS만 사용하여 동시에 유기산과 아미노산을 분석함으로써 전처리가 간단하고 짧은 분석시간과 우수한 감도, 정확도, 정밀도를 보여 주었다. 정상인과 대사이상질환 환자의 검체에 적용해 보았을 때, 본 분석방법은 유기산과 아미노산대사이상의 유전성대사질환 환자의 스크리닝, 진단 및 모니터링에 임상적으로 유용함을 보여주었다.
