Comparative study on chemical constituents of Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum in different forms of Cervus nipport / 中草药

Objective: In order to study the differences in chemical constituents of Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum in different forms of Cervus nipport. Methods: The content of polysaccharides, crude protein, amino acids, collagen, fatty acids, mineral elements, biogenic amines, nucleosides, and chondroitin sulfate composition of Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum in different forms of C. nipport was determined and compared by using UV spectrophotometer, Dumas azotometer, automatic amino acid analyzer, UPLC, HPLC, gas chromatograph, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer and atomic fluorescence photometer. Principal component analysis was used to evaluate the quality of Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum. Results: The content of polysaccharide, crude protein, amino acid, collagen, fatty acid, mineral element, biogenic amine, nucleoside and chondroitin sulfate in one-branched velvet antler was 8.40 mg/g, 44.82%, 42.24%, 23.23%, 6 234.69 mg/kg, 145.69 mg/g, 55.12 mg/kg, 2 271.87 mg/kg, and 0.74 mg/g, respectively; The content in two-branched velvet antler was 8.14 mg/g, 52.12%, 48.57%, 21.50%, 8 684.27 mg/kg, 126.40 mg/g, 76.14 mg/kg, 3 438.37 mg/kg, and 1.94 mg/g, respectively; The content in three-branched velvet antler was 8.64 mg/g, 51.86%, 45.49%, 22.31%, 9 100.78 mg/kg, 138.36 mg/g, 70.75 mg/kg, 2 507.82 mg/kg, and 1.84 mg/g, respectively. Conclusion: The chemical composition of Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum in different forms of C. nipport was different. The results of principal component analysis showed that the quality of the two-branched velvet antler was the best, the three-branched velvet antler was the second, the one-branched velvet antler was the worst. This study provides a reference for the quality evaluation and grading standards of different forms of Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum.

Research progress on chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of different Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum / 中草药

Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum has a long medicinal history in China and is often used as a tonic Chinese medicine. Because of the complex provenances, various specifications and unclear efficacy substance, the industry of Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum lacks corresponding quality standards. The paper summarizes the research progress of chemical composition and pharmacological effects of different provenances, different growth stages, different forms, different processing methods, different parts of Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum and provides reference for the in-depth application of Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum in medical and functional food industries.
