Simultaneous Separation of Eight Lignans in Forsythia suspensa by β-Cyclodextrin-Modified Capillary Zone Electrophoresis.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to develop an alternative capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) for simultaneous determination of phillyrin (1), phillygenin (2), epipinoresinol-4-O-β-glucoside (3), pinoresinol-4-O-β-glucoside (4), lariciresinol (5), pinoresinol (6), isolariciresinol (7) and vladinol D (8) in Forsythia suspensa. The structural types of lignans 1-8 could be attributed to bisepoxylignans (1-4 and 6), monoepoxylignans (5 and 8) and cyclolignan (7). The major difficulties in the CZE separation of 1-8 could be summarization as the simultaneous presence of free lignans (1, 2 and 5-8) and lignan glucosides (3 and 4) and simultaneous occurrence of two pairs of isomers (3 and 4 as well as 5 and 7). Without the addition of β-CD and methanol, the resolution of these analytes was quite poor. H
