Abstract

Berberine alkaloids, a group of protoberberine alkaloids under the classification of isoquinoline alkaloids, include berberine, coptisine, palmatine, columbamine, dehydrocorydaline, jatrorrhizine, and epiberberine from natural sources. Studies have shown that berberine alkaloids have various pharmacological functions, such as antibacterial, antiviral, blood pressure-lowering, hypoglycaemic, antiarrhythmia, and anticancer effects. Therefore, it is worthwhile to develop analytical methods to investigate the pharmacokinetics and activity mechanisms of berberine alkaloids and to study berberine alkaloids more comprehensively. Current analytical methods for berberine alkaloids include liquid chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, ultraviolet spectroscopy, capillary electrophoresis, and gas chromatography. The most widely used detection method is mass spectrometry. In order to provide a systematic and comprehensive summary and to serve as a reference for the future pharmacokinetics studies and analysis of berberine alkaloids, analytical methods for natural berberine alkaloids that have been used in the past ten years are reviewed here.
