Abstract:

The 1H chemical-shift values of mollugin and purpurin in extract from Rubiae Radix et Rhizoma were assigned on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR, and a specific, simple, sensitive 1H NMR method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous quantitative determination of mollugin in extract from Rubiae Radix et Rhizoma When the solvent effects on the resolution of target signals and the solubility of the crude extracts were taken into account, dimethyl sulfoxide-d6 was selected as an optimal 1H NMR solvent.  Quantitative determination was carried out by using the signal of the olefinic proton of mollugin (δH 5.77, H-2′) and H-3 of purpurin (δH 6.67), which were not interfere with other signals. Maleic acid was selected as internal standard because of its stable physical and chemical properties and having simple resonance signal. The improved method possessed good stability, repeatability, precision and accuracy for the quantification of mollugin and purpurin and the determination results agreed with the data obtained by HPLC-UV method. Due to its simple operation, short test time and without any reference
