ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To determinate the contents of quercetin and kaempferol in Platycladus orientalis carbonisatus by RP - HPLC.METHODS:The determination was performed on Lichrospher C_(18)(250 mm?4.6 mm,5?m) with mobile phase consisted of methanol-0.2%phosphoric acid solution(55:45) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL?min~(-1).The column temperature was set at 25℃and the detection wavelength was set at 368 nm.RESULTS:The linear ranges of quercetin and kaempferol were 0.24～1.68?g(r =0.999 9) and 0.052～0.624?g(r = 0.999 8),respectively.The average recovery rates of quercetin and kaempferol were 100.91%(RSD = 0.80%,n = 6)and 99.59%(RSD = 1.07%,n = 6),respectively.CONCLUSION:The method is simple,accurate,reproducible,and applicable for the quality control of Platycladus orientalis carbonisatus.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the constituents of volatile oil in Artemisia indica from different area of Guangxi, and to compared which with those in Artemisia argyi. METHODS: The volatile oil was extracted from Artemisia indica and Artemisia argyi respectively by steam distillation. The constituents of the volatile oil were identified by GC-MS technology. RESULTS: The yield of the collected volatile oil of Artemisia indica from different area of Guangxi was 0.32%～0.67%, and compared with Artemisia argyi, both were found to contain the following main constituents: eucalyptol, camphor, borneol, germacrene D, caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide, terpineol, azulene etc. But the content of the same constituents in Artemisia indica varied with different producing area and there was also difference for a certain constituent of the volatile oil. CONCLUSION: The study results serve as a scientific basis for rational use of Artemisia indica from Guangxi.
