Description
Summary:On‐line high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with three biochemical detection (BCD) methods was applied to evaluate bioactive components in Danshen injection. On‐line HPLC‐photo‐diode array–fluorescence detection based on the fluorogenic substrate 7‐acetoxy‐1‐methyl quinolinium iodide, was built to search acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors in Danshen injection. On‐line HPLC coupled with the scavenging assay of 1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2′‐azinobis (3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid) (ABTS) free radicals was developed to screen antioxidants. The three active profiles were obviously different. Radical scavenging profiles revealed seven strong peaks in the chromatographic fingerprint possessing obvious free radical inhibition effects, while some minor peaks exhibited stronger AChE inhibition activities. The main radical scavengers and AChE inhibitors were identified by HPLC‐MS. Several unknown ingredients showing strong AChE inhibition activities needed further identification except protocatechuic aldehydrate, salvianolic acid H or I and lithospermic acid. The on‐line multiple on‐line HPLC‐BCD methods will provide powerful tools in the field of pharmacognosy for fast‐track identification of interesting and/or novel bioactive compounds.
