ABSTRACT
Objective: To establish an HPLC method for the determination of codonoposide in Codonopsis lanceolata Benth. et Hook.F..Methods:The HPLC analysis was performed on a Kromasil C18column (250 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm). The mobile phase was 0. 1% phosphoric acid-acetonitrile (70∶ 30) and the flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min-1 . The detection wavelength was 203 nm and the column temperature was 30℃. Results:Codonoposide in Codonopsis lanceolata Benth. et Hook. F. had a good separation from the oth-er components, and a good linear relationship was obtained within the range of 1. 09-17. 41 μg( r=0. 999 9). The average recovery was 98. 46%(RSD=1. 64%, n=6). Conclusion: The method is practicable with promising repeatability, which can be applied in the content determination of codonoposide in Codonopsis lanceolata Benth. et Hook. F. .
ABSTRACT
Whether there was crossing between Astragalus major split constituents was explored, and the methodology of cross validation for split constituents was studied to determine Astragalus sweet and warm property. The Astragalus was extracted by boiling water or other different solvents, and detected by HPLC-DAD or HPLC-ELSD. Finally, the similarity of each constituent was calculated by fingerprint software. Similarities of flavonoids and saponin constituents were all less than 0.31 and 0.34, respectively, compared to other constituents. The cross situation of nature-taste split components which was extracted by solvents was not serious. This method was proven to be feasible, and provided a theoretical and substantial basis for the Chinese taste pharmacological experiments and would be conductive to determine Astragalus sweet and warm property.
