Abstract: | In the present study, a microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of seven triterpenoid saponins in Pulsatilla turczaninovii. Operational conditions of MAE were optimized using a central composite design. Multiple-reaction monitoring was employed for quantification while switching the electrospray ion source polarity between positive and negative modes. Full validation of the method was carried out (linearity, precision, accuracy, limit of detection and limit of quantification). The results indicated that the method was rapid, specific and reliable. The developed method was successfully applied to determine the investigated compounds in nine batches of P. turczaninovii. These samples were collected in different seasons from the Liaoning province and varied greatly. The total triterpenoid saponins content was the highest in April, the seedling stage, and decreased from May to August. The contents of total triterpenoid saponins decreased significantly after the blooming period. |
