title: [Capillary electrophoresis fingerprints of Baizi Yangxin Wan].
abstract: The capillary electrophoresis fingerprint (CEFP) of Baizi Yangxin Wan (BZYXW) was established by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). The chromatographic fingerprint resolution index (RF) was applied to optimize the CEFP conditions. The electrophoretic separation was performed on a 75 cm (the effective length of 57 cm) x 75 microm uncoated fused silica capillary with 50 mmol/L sodium borate-50 mmol/L Na2HPO(4)-200 mmol/L H3BO(3)-150 mmol/L NaHCO3 (7:7:1:1, v/v/v/v) containing 4% acetonitrile (pH 9.70) as the background electrolyte (BGE), and the BGE was chosen by using the triangular prism optimization method. The running voltage was set at 12 kV, and the detection wavelength at 228 nm. The sample solution was injected into the capillary by hydraulic pressure in 25 s. The CEFPs were produced by the electropherograms from 12 batches of BZYXW, and the 17 co-possessing peaks were selected as the fingerprint peaks of BZYXW's CEFP by choosing ferulic acid peak as the referential peak. According to the results of classification, the reference CEFP (RCEFP) was synthesized from 12 batches of BZYXW. Taking the RCEFP for the qualified model, the systematically quantified fingerprint method(SQFM) was applied to evaluate the quality of 17 batches of BZYXW, in which the qualities of 3 batches was evaluated as good, 1 batch as fine, 3 batches as moderate, 1 batch as common, and 4 batches as inferior. The triangular prism optimization method was suggested to be good to optimize the BGE. The results showed that the BZYXW-CEFP was established with good precision and reproducibility, which can be served as a novel reference to identify and control the quality of BZYXW.
