A simple method is described for simultaneous determination of six main nucleosides and bases including adenine, uracil, adenosine, guanosine, uridine and inosine in Cordyceps by capillary electrophoresis (CE). Chemometric optimization based on central composite design was employed to find the optimum resolution. The optimum factor space was defined by three parameters: buffer concentration, pH and concentration of acetonitrile as organic modifier. Resolution (R_S) was employed to evaluate the response function. A running buffer composed of 500mM boric acid, adjusted pH to 8.6 with sodium hydroxide and 12.2% acetonitrile as modifier was found to be the most appropriate for the separation. The contents of the six components were determined by using adenosine monophosphate as an internal standard. Furthermore, hierarchical clustering analysis based on characteristics of 32 peaks in CE profiles …
