RESUMEN
Objective:To determine the content of stilbene glucoside in polygonum multiflorum by HPLC. Methods: An Agilent Eclipse Plus C18(100 mm ×4.6 mm,3.5 μm)column was adopted with acetonitrile-water(18∶82) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1. 0 ml·min-1 . The detection wavelength was set at 320nm and the injection volume was 8 μl. Results:The linear range of stilbene glucoside was 38-237. 5 μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 4)with the average recovery of 98. 32%(RSD=1. 59%). Conclusion: The method is simple, sensitive and specific in the content determination of stilbene glucoside in polygonum multiflorum.
RESUMEN
There are few reports of hepatitis related to the Chinese Medicine in Korea. Because herbal medicine contains many ingredients, it is confused what ingredient causes the hepatitis. We experienced a case of acute hepatitis developed after consumption of Chinese herbal medicine, Ho-Shou-Wu, for 75 days which contains only one component, Polygonum multiflorum, in a 55 year-old woman. And gradual recovery from hepatitis was observed after stopping the medication. Drug-induced hepatitis was diagnosed with typical clinical course and exclusion of all the possible causes of acute hepatocellular injury. We report this case with review of literature.
