Ammi visnaga L. extracts were examined for the presence of phytochemicals, antimicrobial activities, and scavenging potentials. The aerial part of this plant underwent warm extraction using three different solvents: hexane, dichloromethane and ethanol. The phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of polyphenols, tannins, flavonoids, glycosides, and reducing sugars in the ethanolic extract. In the dichloromethane extract, polyphenols and glycosides were identified, while in the hexane extract, polyphenols, flavonoids, and glycosides were detected. Antimicrobial activity was determined using disc diffusion method. Results indicate that the dichloromethane extract exhibited the largest zone of inhibition, measuring 10 mm against Staphylococcus aureus. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was recorded as 10 μL/mL, while the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) was below 10 μL/mL. However, no antimicrobial activity was observed against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii. Additionally, antioxidant activity was examined using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyle) assay. The ethanolic extract demonstrated the highest antioxidant power with an IC50 value of 0.843 ± 0.199 mg/mL against 0.095 ± 0.009 mg/mL of ascorbic acid which is used as a reference.

A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed for simultaneous determination of six alkaloids, i.e., (−)-(R)-platydesmin, noroxyhydrastinine, berberine, skimmianine, canthin-6-one, and pteleine in the herbal medicine of Phellodendron amurense Rupr. The optimal condition for extraction and separation was achieved with a linear mobile phase gradient prepared from 0.1% phosphoric acid and acetonitrile. The LODs and LOQs for the analytes ranged from 0.06 to 0.22 μg mL-1 and from 0.25 to 0.80 μg mL-1, respectively. The optimized method was applied to the determination of alkaloids in P. amurense Rupr. and was found to be efficient. This method can provide a scientific and technical platform to the manufacturers for setting up a quality control standard as well as to the public for quality and safety assurance of the proprietary traditional Chinese medicines.

Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) is a liquid chromatography technique when a polar stationary phases - silica or polar bonded phases and aqueous mobile phase containing amount of a less polar solvent (often acetonitrile) is applied. HILIC is important for the separation of highly polar substances including biologically active compounds, such as drugs, amino acids, peptides, proteins, nucleosides, neurotransmitters, etc. HILIC is also the appropriate method for analysis of plant extract polar components such as carbohydrates, amino acids, peptides, phenolic acids, flavonoids and some alkaloids. Plant extracts are usually multicomponent mixtures of compounds of wide polarity range, which often cannot be analyzed by use of a single separation and detection method because of the high chemical diversity. Good results are obtained by use of coupled method, e.g., reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC) and HILIC mode separation. The elution order in HILIC is usually opposite to that in RP separations. This orthogonality determines one of the advantages of HILIC - the possibility of creating multidimensional separations. An important feature of HILIC is the improved sensitivity with electrospray mass spectrometry. This is significant for the analysis of components existing in small concentration in multicomponent mixtures. The high acetonitrile content also gives additional advantage of HILIC - faster separations due to the lower viscosity of HILIC eluents compared to standard RP ones. The presented review deals with the optimization of HILIC separations and application of the method for analysis of plant extracts components.

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) technique coupled with photodiode array (PDA) detection has been proposed for simultaneous determination of five flavonoids, i.e. quercetin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, quercetin 4′-methoxy-3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside, kaempferol 3-O-β-L-rhamnopyranoside, asebotin, and kaempferol 7-methxoy-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside in extract of the whole plant of Saussurea mongolica Franch. The optimum conditions for separation were achieved on a 4.6 × 250 mm i.d., 5-μm particle, C18 column with acetonitrile and 1% acetic acid (20:80, v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min−1. For all the analytes, a good linear regression relationship (r of >0.999) was obtained between peak area and concentration over a relatively wide range. The method was validated for repeatability, precision, stability, and accuracy. Seven different extraction procedures were investigated for preparation of the sample solution. The validated method was successfully applied to simultaneous analysis of these flavonoids in S. mongolica and was found to be simple and efficient.
