ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To optimize water extraction technology of Feng-Moutan Cortex. METHODS: L9 (34) orthogonal design was used to optimize soaking time, solid-liquid ratio, extraction time and extraction times in water extraction technology of Feng-Moutan Cortex using comprehensive scores for the peak area percentage and extract yield of 8 ingredients in Feng-Moutan Cortex as gallic acid, paeoniflorin, catechin, paeoniflorin, benzoic acid, benzoyloxypaeoniflorin, benzoylpaeoniflorin and paeonol after normalization as indexes. Verification test was conducted. RESULTS: The optimal water extraction technology was that 20-fold water, soaking for 1 h, extracting twice, 2 h each time. Results of verification test showed that comprehensive scores of 3 times of tests were 65. 98, 68. 85 and 69. 25, respectively. RSDs of each index were lower than 5％ (n=3). CONCLUSIONS: Established comprehensive scoring method can reflect the relative contents of effective components in Feng-Moutan Cortex comprehen- sively, so that optimized extraction technology is reasonable and feasible.
ABSTRACT
AIM To analyze the dynamic changes of five constituents in Ligustri lucidi Fructus at five picking time (August,September,October,November,December).METHODS The HPLC analysis of Ligustri lucidi Fructus ethanol extract was performed on a 25 ℃ thermostatic Aglient Zorbax SB-C1s column (4.6 mm ×250 mm,5 μm),with the mobile phase comprising of acetonitrile-0.1％ phosphoric acid flowing at 1 mL/min in a gradient elution manner,and the detection wavelength was set at 224 nm.RESULTS Salidroside,tyrosol,luteolin-7-O-glucoside,ligustroflavone and specnuezhenide showed good linear relationships within their own ranges (r ＞0.999 0),whose average recoveries were 99.56％-100.30％ with the RSDs of 0.89％-1.23％.The contents of various constituents (except for tyrosol) were the highest in samples picked up in September,followed by those picked up in October.CONCLUSION The suitable picking time of Ligustri lucidi Fructus is September and October.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish an RP-HPLC method for determination of atractylodinol in Ateractylodes lancea and compare the contents of atractylodinol in the herbs of different origins.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The samples were separated on an Agilent TC-C18 (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm) column with the mobile phase of acetonitrile-water (49:51). Flow rate was 1.0 mL x min(-1). The detection wave length was set at 337 nm. Column temperature was 30 degrees C.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The linear range of atractylodinol was 9.12 x 10(-2) -9.12 mg x L(-1) (r = 0.999 9), the average recovery was 97.15%, RSD was 1.5% (n = 5). The contents of atractylodinol were in the range of 0.268-1.213 mg x g(-1) in the samples from different orgins. The contents of atractylodinol in samples growing in Dabieshan mountain were higher than those in Jiangsu province (P < 0.001).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The established method for determination of atractylodinol is accurate and reliable, which can be used to evaluate the quality of A. lancea, the contents of atractylodinol in the sample was related with its morphological characteristic and geographic orgin.</p>
