    Abstract:
    We have developed an online analytical method that combines human periodontal ligament cell membrane chromatography (hPDLC/CMC) with high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC/MS) for recognizing and identifying osteoplastic active components from Coptidis Rhizoma. Retention fractions on hPDLC/CMC were enriched onto an enrichment column and the components were directly analyzed by combining a 10-port column switcher with an LC/MS system for separation and preliminary identification. Using simvastatin (SIM) as a positive control, berberine from Coptidis Rhizoma was identified as the active component which could act on the hPDLC. The MTT colorimetric assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and staining tests revealed that berberine could promote hPDLC growth, increase the secretion of ALP in the culture medium, and enhance the formation of mineralized nodule, thus it is a potential osteoplastic ingredient. This hPDLC/CMC-online-LC/MS method can be applied for screening active components acting on hPDLC from traditional Chinese medicines exemplified by Coptidis Rhizoma and will be of great utility in drug discovery using natural medicinal herbs as a source of leading compounds.
