Abstract
    [Objective] To develop a LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of caffeic acid, ferulic acid and isoferulic acid in the Rhizoma Cimicifugae. [Methods] Chromatographic separation was achieved with gradient elution by a ACQUITY UPLC® BEH C18 coloum (2.1 mm×100 mm,1.7 μm) hyphenated to a mass spectrometer system was operated under the MRM mode with electrospray negative ionization. The mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid aqueous and the flow rate was 0.3 mL/min. [Results] Caffeic acid, ferulic acid and isoferulic acid showed good linearity in the range of 5~100 ng/mL, 10~200 ng/mL, 50~1 000 ng/mL. The lower limit of quantification of the 3 essential compounds was 5, 10 and 50 ng/mL respectively. The average recoveries of the method were in the range of 97.83%~98.40%. [Conclusion] The method is fast, sensitive and reproducible. It can be used for the simultaneous determination of caffeic acid, ferulic acid and isoferulic acid in the Rhizoma Cimicifuga.
