ABSTRACT
Objective: To establish a method for determining the content of dracorhodin as an indicator in the quality control with methodological studies to provide basis for the preparation process study of Qilisan gel. Methods: An HPLC method was used with a DiamonsilR C18 (250 mm ×4. 6 mm, 5 μm) column, the detection wavelength was set at 440 nm and the column temperature was 30 ℃. Acetonitrile-0. 05 mol·L-1 sodium dihydrogen phosphate solution (45 ∶ 55) was used as the mobile phase, and the flow rate was l. 0 ml·min-1 . Results: The content of dracorhodin was in a good linear relationship (r =0. 999 6) within the range of 1. 632-64. 250 μg·ml-1 , and the average recovery was 99. 02%(RSD =0. 77%, n =6). The number of theoretical plates was calculated as 7 100 according to the dracorhodin perchlorate peak without any interference from the negative sample. Conclusion: The method is objective, accurate and sensitive with high reliability, easy operation and fast process. The measurement results can be used as the quality control basis for the preparation process study of Qilisan gel.
ABSTRACT
Objective To optimize the producing area and parts of Gardenia roots. Methods Oleanolic acid 3-acetate was hydrolysed into Oleanolic acid in Gardenia roots from 10 different origins, and root, stem, leaf of Gardenia from Liuyang Hunan, and the content was determined by HPLC. Results The content of oleanolic acid 3-acetate in Gardenia roots of different origins from high to low was:Shaodong, Liuyang of Hunan>Anji of Zhejiang, Guiyang of Hunan>Ningxiang, Anhua of Hunan, Zhangshu of Jiangxi>Liling, Pinjiang, Youxian of Hunan. The content in root was 2 times of that in stem and leaf. Conclusion Experimental data were provided for the optimization of producing area and part of Gardenia roots.
