HPLC Analysis of Flavonoids in Herbal Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used for the analytical determination of flavonoids in SB. Samples and standards were analyzed using a Waters 600 system coupled to Waters 2487 UV dual wavelengths absorbance detector (Waters Chromatography Canada Inc.), and Empower PDA software (Milford, MA USA). An Agilent Zorbax SB-C18 column (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 μm) was applied for this analysis. Sample preparation and extraction of flavonoids were done using a previously described method with modifications [15 (link)]. Before extraction, the herbal powder was soaked in Britton-Robinson buffer, pH 6.5 at 50 °C for 30 min. Flavone standards, baicalin (99%), baicalein (98%), wogonoside (≥95%), wogonin (≥98%) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. All HPLC-grade solvents were filtered through a membrane filter (0.2 μm pore size). The content of the constituents was calculated using standard curves acquired for four flavonoids. All measurements were performed in triplicate.

Human TNBC cell lines (MDA-MB-231, BT-549, HCC70, and HCC1806) and non-tumorigenic breast cell line (MCF-10A) were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC; Manassas, VA, USA). A normal breast cell line (AG11132) was obtained from Coriell Institute for Medical Research (Camden, NJ, USA). TNBC cells were cultured in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) 1640 medium while non-tumorigenic breast cells (MCF-10A and AG11132) were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) or Mammary Epithelial Cell Growth Medium (MEGM), respectively. The media contained 10 % fetal calf serum (FCS) and were cultured in a humidified atmosphere with 5 % CO2 at 37 °C. Cells between the 3rd and 10th passages were used for this study. Nor-wogonin was purchased from Chem Faces (Wuhan, Hubei, China) whereas wogonin and wogonoside were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA).

Herb granules [(HQ, Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi Radix), Gegen (GG, Pueraria lobata Ohwi Radix), Shengma (SM, Cimicifuga foetida L. Rhizoma), Baishao (BS, Paeonia lactiflora Pall Radix) and Gancao (GC, Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch Radix)] were purchased from Sun Ten Pharmaceutical Co. (Taipei, Taiwan). The herb weight ratio for Huang Qin Ge Gen Tang formulation (HQGGT) was HQ:10 g; GG:15 g; SM:6 g; BS:10 g; GC:3 g as previously described [12 (link)]. Granules were weighed and resuspended in deionized water and incubated at 80 °C for 30 min. The supernatant was separated from any insoluble material by centrifugation (3000 × g, 20 min) and sterilized by passage through a 0.22 μm filter. For in vitro cell culture studies, 100 mg/mL HQ extract was prepared. For in vivo animal experiments, 300 mg/mL HQ (actual soluble weight is 200 mg/mL) and 20 mg/mL BI solution (DMSO-PBS solution) were used. Baicalin (BI), baicalein (BE), wogonin (WO), and wogonoside (WS) (Sigma; St. Louis, MO) were dissolved in DMSO (50 mM stock solution).

Profiling Phytochemical Composition of Skullcap

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The dried and pulverised biomass samples were extracted with 50 mL of analytical-grade methanol for 2 h at 78 ± 2 °C under a reflux condenser. After extraction, the obtained extracts were filtered through a paper filter, transferred to crystallisers, and left at room temperature to allow the solvent to evaporate. The remains were dissolved in 4 mL of HPLC-grade methanol (Merck) and subjected to HPLC. Qualitative and quantitative HPLC with diode array detection (DAD) was performed as described previously [20 (link),66 (link)]. Compounds were identified based on their retention times and UV spectra, as well as by comparison with reference substances (27 flavonoids, 19 phenolic acids, benzoic and cinnamic acids, 2 phenylethanoid glycosides). The reference standards used for the HPLC analyses of skullcap-specific flavonoids were baicalein, baicalin, scutellarin, wogonin (ChromaDex, Irvine, CA, USA), chrysin, scutellarein, wogonoside (Sigma–Aldrich Co., Saint Louis, MO, USA), oroxylin A and skullcapflavone II (ChemFaces Biochemical Co., Wuhan, China). The verbascoside was purchased form ChromaDex, Irvine, CA, USA.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
