Objective:The aim of the present study was to determine the quality marker(Q-Markers)of Sparganii Rhizoma against thrombus through an integration of investigations on its antithrombotic effect,content determination and spectrum-effect correlation analysis.Methods:Based on the concept of Q-Marker,Sparganii Rhizoma was investigated for the identification of chemical component.The pharmacological effects on arachidonic acid-induced thrombosis in zebrafish were also investigated.The material basis in ethanol extract was determined by HPLC-UV.Furthermore,the potential Q-Markers were analyzed and predicted according to the effect-chemical cor-relation analysis.Finally,the anti-thrombotic Q-Markers were verified through the anti-thrombotic test of monomer components.Results:The model of thrombosis zebrafish was established with larvae exposed to 100 μmol/L arachi-donic acid for 1 h.Nine ingredients in Sparganii Rhizoma were identified as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural,vanillic acid,ferulic acid,p-hydroxybenzaldehyde,p-hydroxybenzoic acid,vanillin,protocatechuic acid,p-coumaric acid and isoferulic acid.According to the determination effect of zebrafish thrombosis model and HPLC content analysis results,all the other contents present positive correlation except 5-hydroxymethylfurfural,and the P values of three representative potential Q-Markers(ferulic acid,proto-catechuic acid and p-coumaric acid)were 0.002,0.001 and 0.026,respectively.Conclusion:Sparganii Rhizoma showed a dose-dependent effect on the recovery of reducing cardiac red blood cell on zebrafish model.Three phenolic acids(ferulic acid,protocatechuic acid and p-coumaric acid)were proved to possess the anti-thrombotic effects which could be regarded as the potential Q-Markers for quality assessment of Sparganii Rhizoma.
