A procedure involving microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) followed by solid-phase extraction (SPE) was established for the extraction and purification of three bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids from Stephania cepharantha, and a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed for the quantification of the target alkaloids. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Phenomenex Luna Phenyl-Hexyl column. Prior to the HPLC analysis, the alkaloids were rapidly extracted by an optimized MAE process using 0.01 mol/L hydrochloric acid as the solvent. The MAE extract was subsequently purified by SPE using a cation-exchange polymeric cartridge. The MAE-SPE procedure extracted the three alkaloids with satisfactory recoveries ranging from 100.44 to 102.12%. In comparison with the MAE, Soxhlet and ultrasonic-assisted extractions, the proposed MAE-SPE method showed satisfactory cleanup efficiency. Thus, the validated MAE-SPE-HPLC method is specific, accurate and applicable to the determination of alkaloids in S. cepharantha.
