ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a method for the content determination of 3-epibetulinic acid in Nodus Nelumbinis Rhizomatis Charcoal. Methods HPLC was used on Lichrospher C18 column (4.6 mm?150 mm, 5 ?m) with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.2% glacial acetic acid (75∶25), the flow rate of 1 mL/min, the column temperature of 30 ℃ and the detection wavelength of 207 nm. Results 3-epibetulinic acid has a good linearity within 0.365 4～3.654 0 ?g (r=0.999 6) and the average recovery was 98.83% with RSD=2.47%. The content of 3-epibetulinic acid in Nodus Nelumbinis Rhizomatis Charcoal from different region varied from 0.048 3% to 0.575 8%. Conclusion This method is simple, accurate, with good reproducibility, and can be used for the content determination of 3-epibetulinic acid in Nodus Nelumbinis Rhizomatis Charcoal.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To establish a method for the content determination of tannin in Nodus Nelumbinis Rhizomatis. Methods: The content of tannin in Nodus Nelumbinis Rhizomatis was detected by molybdophosphate colorimetric method. Results: The content of tannin in Nodus Nelumbinis Rhizomatis from different drugstores varied from 0.2537% to 1.637%. Conclusion: This method was simple, accurate and can be used for the quality control of Nodus Nelumbinis Rhizomatis.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the identification method and extract of Nodus Nelumbinis Rhizomatis.Methods:The identification of Nodus Nelumbinis Rhizomatis was carried out by TLC and the extract was determined by 65% alcohol.Results:The relevant spots on TLC plates were clear,and it was feasible to determine the extract of Nodus Nelumbinis Rhizomatis with 65% alcohol.Conclusion:Nodus Nelumbinis Rhizomatis can be identificated by 3-epibetulinic acid and ?-sitosterol as reference substance,there were differents on quantity of the extract of Nodus Nelumbinis Rhizomatis,which bought from different districts.
