ABSTRACT
Objective: To analyze the contents of flavonoids in Astragali Radix before and after sodium pyrosulfite solution soa-king, so as to provide reliable methods for scientifically evaluating and effectively controlling the quality of Astragali Radix. Methods:After sodium pyrosulfite solution soaking, the contents of calycosin glucoside, ononin, formononetin and pterostilbene were analyzed by HPLC-DAD. Results: Calycosin glucoside, ononin, formononetin and pterostilbene showed a good linear relationship within the range of 0. 048-60. 000 μg·ml-1, 0. 019-30. 000 μg·ml-1, 0. 019-40. 000 μg·ml-1and 0. 019-40. 00 0μg·ml-1, respectively. After sodium pyrosulfite solution soaking, the contents of calycosin glucoside and ononin decreased, furthermore, with the increase of sodium sulfite solution concentration and soaking time, the decrease trend was more obvious, and the differences between the high concentra-tion group and the normal group were 2-3 times. The content of formononetin was essentially the same, while the difference in pterostil-bene content between the high concentration groups and the normal group was 10 times. Conclusion: After sodium pyrosulfite solution soaking, the contents of flavonoid glycoside components are reduced, therefore, it is not advisable to use sodium pyrosulfite solution soaking to achieve keeping fresh, mothproof and prolonging the shelf life of Astragali Radix.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To establish the fingerprint analysis method for the root of Rosa laevigata Michx from different regions by UPLC. Methods:The column was ACQUITY UPLC? Phenyl(2.1 mm × 100 mm,1.7 μm). The mobile phase consisted of methanol-water with gradient elution. The flow rate was 0. 2 ml·min-1 , the detection wavelength was 210 nm, the column temperature was 30℃, and the injection volume was 3 μl. Results:The fingerprint consisted of 15 common peaks. The range of similarity for twelve bat-ches of the root of R. laevigata Michx was 0. 489-0. 942. And the reference fingerprint of the root of R. laevigata Michx was estab-lished by UPLC. Conclusion:The fingerprint method is simple and reproducible, which can provide basis for the quality control and the medicinal resources exploration.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish the method for quantitative determination of sibricose A5 and sibricose A6 in Polygalae Radix by HPLC.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The ultrasonic extracting method was applied in sample pre-treatment. The HPLC procedure was performed on the chromatographic column of Agela Promosil C18 (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm), the mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid water solution (10:90). The detection wavelength was 330 nm and flow velocity was 1 mL x min(-1). The column temperature was 30 degrees C.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The method has good linearity in the ranges of 0.0087-0.0694 g x L(-1) (r = 0.9993) for sibricose A5, 0.0090-0.0723 g x L(-1) (r=0.9991) for sibricose A6. The average recoveries of sibricose A5 and sibricose A6 were 101.7%, 97.87%, with the RSD of 1.7%, 1.6%, respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The method was simple, quick accurate and reliable. It is appropriate for the quantitative determination of sibricose A5 and sibricose A6 in Polygalae Radix.</p>
