ABSTRACT
To investigate the quality of different parts of Radix Fici Hirtae. The content and components of volatile oils and ethanol-extracts from different parts of Radix Fici Hirtae were analyzed by the combination of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The content of volatile oils in the cortex was higher than that in the xylem and the chemical components either in the cortex or in the xylem are similar. The main components in volatile oils are hexadecanoic acid, oleic acid+linoleic acid, linoleic acid amide, palmitic acid amide,stearic acid amide and dibutyl phthalate. The main components in ethanol-extracts are psoralen, hexadecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid ethyl ester, bergapten, oleic acid and linoleic acid. The content of psoralen in the cortex was higher than that in the xylem.[Conclusion]The chemical components in different parts of Radix Fici Hirtae are similar but the contents of volatile components and psoralen are higher in the cortex than those in the xylem.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the applicability of the digitized standard of GC-MS characteristic fingerprint in GC. Methods The GC-MS and GC were used to analyze the essential components of thirteen batches of Amomum villosum samples. The digitized standard of characteristic fingerprint of Amomum villosum essential oil was compared with the result of the samples detected by GC-MS and GC. Results Ten essential characteristic components have been identified in thirteen batches of Amomum villosum samples,and their relative content was (88.15?2.97)%,which are the representative components. The main components were ?-pinene,camphene,?-pinene,?-myrcene,limonene,linalol,camphor,isoborneol,borneol and borneol acetate. With the ten components as indexes,the sample similarity calculated by cosin method was 0.994～1.000 when analyzed by GC-MS and GC,0.978～0.999 when analyzed by GC-MS and the digitized standard of GC-MS characteristic fingerprint,and 0.986～0.998 when analyzed by GC and the digitized standard of GC-MS characteristic fingerprint. Conclusion The digitized standard of GC-MS characteristic fingerprint of Amomum villosum can be used in GC,which will ensure the comparison of results obtaining at different time by different types of machines,on different chromatographic columns and under different conditions. The method can be used for quality evaluation of Amomum villosum.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze what will create after oxidation in Shenchang Injection, the oxidated mechanism, and isomerous conversion of ?-asarone and borneol in it. Methods To analyze the sample of Shenchang Injection before and after oxidation by GC-MS and to compare the composition of ?-asarone and borneol before and after sterilization. Results Some of ?-asarone was oxidized and changed to asarylaldehyde (about 0.88%—2.82% of total composition ) and saishinone (about 0.24%—0.46% of total composition), some of the borneol and isoborneol was oxidized and changed to camphor when three samples of Shenchang Injection are oxidized; some of ?-asarone (cis-) change to ?-asarone (trans-, about 1%—2%), (7.85?7.27)% of the isoborneol (cis-) changed to borneol (trans-) when sterilized at 100 ℃ for 30 min. Conclusion ?-Asarone and borneol in Shenchang Injection are involved in the oxidated reaction and have isomerous conversion after high pressure sterilization.
