Summary
The main triterpene glycosides ofCimicifuga racemosa were separated by reversed phase HPLC, using a C-18 column, Evaporative Light Scattering (ELS) detection and a grient system consisting of water, acetonitrile and reagent alcohol. Within 35 min three main glycosides could be separated and quantified in the methanolic root extract with detection limits of 10.5, 15.6 and 31.6 μg·mL−1 respectively. The method was successfully used, to analyzed differentCimicifuga racemosa market products, as well as to distinguish between otherCimicifuga samples from China.
