Quality Evaluation of Pseudostellariae Radix Based on Simultaneous Determination of Multiple Bioactive Components Combined with Grey Relational Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Pseudostellariae Radix (PR) is an important traditional Chinese herbal medicine (TCM) with vast clinical consumption because of its positive effects. However, little attention has been devoted to simultaneous analysis of its bioactive components for quality control of PR based on its different harvesting times, different growing habitats, and different processing methods. In this research, the quality of PR was evaluated based on simultaneous determination of multiple bioactive components combined with grey relational analysis (GRA). A reliable method based on ultra-fast liquid chromatography tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UFLC-QTRAP-MS/MS) was established to simultaneously determine the contents of 30 components in PR, including two cyclopeptides, 12 nucleosides, and 16 amino
