 High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Berberine

Berberine is a naturally occurring alkaloid found in several plants, including the roots, rhizomes, and stem bark of plants such as Berberis species (barberry), Coptis chinensis (goldthread), and Hydrastis canadensis (goldenseal).

Biological Activities:

  • Medicinal Properties: Berberine has been used in traditional medicine for its various medicinal properties, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects.
  • Blood Sugar Regulation: Some studies suggest that berberine may help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity, making it of interest in diabetes research.
  • Cholesterol Management: It has been investigated for potential benefits in managing cholesterol levels.
  • Anticancer Properties: Berberine has also shown promise in preclinical studies for its potential anticancer properties.

Uses:

  • Berberine supplements are available and marketed for various health purposes.
  • In traditional medicine, berberine-containing plants have been used for treating various conditions.

Berberine can be retained, and analyzed using a Primesep B mixed-mode stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water, acetonitrile (MeCN), and ammonium formate as a buffer. Detection is achieved using LC MS 336 + positive mode

Separation of Berberine on Newcrom R1 HPLC column

Berberine can be analyzed by this reverse phase (RP) HPLC method with simple conditions. The mobile phase contains an acetonitrile (MeCN), water, and phosphoric acid. For Mass-Spec (MS) compatible applications the phosphoric acid needs to be replaced with formic acid. Smaller 3 µm particles columns available for fast UPLC applications. This liquid chromatography method is scalable and can be used for isolation impurities in preparative separation. It also suitable for pharmacokinetics.

Application Column

Newcrom R1

The Newcrom columns are a family of reverse-phase-based columns. Newcrom A, AH, B, and BH are all mixed-mode columns with either positive or negative ion-pairing groups attached to either short (25 Å) or long (100 Å) ligand chains. Newcrom R1 is a special reverse-phase column with low silanol activity.
