A reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic method (RP-HPLC) was developed for the simultaneous determination of wedelolactone and isodemethylwedelolactone in Herba Ecliptae from different sources. The separation was performed on a Kromasil C18 column (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm), with methanol-0.5% acetic acid (55 45, v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 351 nm and the volume of injection was 20 microL. There were good linear relationships between the mass concentrations and the peak areas of isodemethylwedelolactone and wedelolactone in the ranges of 1.6 - 32.0 mg/L (r = 0.999 5) and 5.6 - 112.0 mg/L (r = 0.999 8), respectively. The recoveries were found to be in the range of 97.5% - 98.2% and 99.0% - 100.2%, respectively. The results of the experiments have demonstrated that the established method is rapid and simple with good accuracy and reproducibility for the simultaneous determination of wedelolactone and isodemethylwedelolactone. The method is suitable for the quality control of Herba Ecliptae from different sources.

Article Synopsis
- Inflammation and ECM degradation are critical factors in the development of osteoarthritis (OA), and the study explores the protective role of Wedelolactone, a natural compound derived from medicinal plants.
- Pretreatment with Wedelolactone suppresses key inflammatory markers (like COX-2 and TNF-α) and enhances ECM-related proteins (like Collagen II) in chondrocytes, indicating its potential to protect against OA.
- The study reveals that Wedelolactone inhibits the NF-κB signaling pathway, which is central to inflammation in OA, and shows promise in relieving cartilage damage in animal models, suggesting its therapeutic potential for OA treatment.
