ABSTRACT
Objective To establish the method to analyze the contents of Costunolide and Dehydrocostus Lactone in Tibetan medicineLiuwei Muxiang Pill.Methods HPLC method was used; the XDB-C18 column (4.6 mm × 50 mm, 1.8μm) was adopted;the mobile phase was methanol- water (60∶40);the flow rate was 0.8 mL/min;UV detection was 225 nm.Results The linear range of Costunolide and Dehydrocostus Lactone was 0.235 5-1.413μg and 0.291 3-1.748μg. The average recoveries were 99.25% and 99.41%, respectively.Conclusion The method is accurate, reliable, stable and with good repeatability, which provides the basis for the quality evaluation of Tibetan medicineLiuwei Muxiang Pill.
ABSTRACT
Objective To set up a method for determining the content of anthraquinone in Liuwei Nengxiaosan.Methods The chromatogram column was Eclipse XDB C18 (150 mm×4.6 mm, 5μm), the mobile phase composition was methanol-0.1% orthphosphoric acid (88∶12), the detection wavelength was at 254 nm, the column temperature was 30℃, the flow rate was 1.0 mL/min. Results The linear range of aloe emodin, rhein, emodin, chrysophanol and physcion was 0.076-0.380μg (r=0.999 6), 0.068-0.340μg (r=0.999 8), 0.076-0.380μg (r=0.999 9), 0.070-0.349μg (r=0.999 9), 0.071-0.355μg (r=0.999 7), respectively. The average recovery rate respectively was 97.88% (RSD=0.72%), 97.52% (RSD=0.96%), 98.79% (RSD=0.95%), 97.77% (RSD=1.18%), 96.34% (RSD=2.00%).Conclusion The method is highly effective, quick and sensitive, suitable for quality control of Tibet traditional medicine Liuwei Nengxiaosan.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo examine the quality of Chinese herbal pieces Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine (Chinese Herbal Pieces) in Guasu Province during 2010 to 2012.MethodsBy using the examination method according to selective examination requirements, 15 varieties of 865 batches of Chinese herbal medicine from 14 regions in Gansu Province during 2010 to 2012 were examined. Evaluation was conducted from the unqualified items and sample quality.Results Among 15 varieties of 865 batches of Chinese herbal medicine from Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Gannan in Gansu Province, 240 batches were unqualified, including 99 batches of fake, 104 batches of adulteration, the total fraction defective was 30.1%.ConclusionThe problems in quality of Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine (Chinese Herbal Pieces) in Gansu Province are serious. Therefore, TCM market inspection and management should be reinforced and the quality of Chinese herbal medicine should be improved as soon as possible.
