Studies on dynamic change of total ginkgolic acids in Ginkgo biloba leaves of different aged trees and different collecting seasons / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study dynamic change of total ginkgolic acids in Ginkgo biloba leaves of the different aged trees and different collecting seasons.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The content of total ginkgolic acids in G. biloba leaves was determined by HPLC. A Alltima C18 (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm) and the mobile phase of methanol and 1% acetic acid (90:10) were used, the flow rate was 1.0 mL x min(-1), and the wavelength was 310 nm. The content were calculated with external standard method.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The content of total ginkgolic acids in G. biloba leaves was in the range of 0.48% to 2.51% in different collecting seasons. The content reached maximum at the end of May and the beginning of June, and then declined gradually. In different aged trees, the content in the older ages was lower than that in the younger ages.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The results provide scientific basis for the collecting season of G. biloba leaves.</p>

HPLC fingerprint of Venenum Bufonis / 中成药

AIM: To establish HPLC fingerprint of Venenum Bufonis in an attempt to become a standard of quality control. METHODS: The HPLC method was set up using Alltima C_(18)(250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) column with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.5% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution of water;UV detection wavelength at 296 nm and column temperature at 30 ℃ with the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min;20 ?L of the injection volume. RESULTS: In this chromatogram condition,10 peaks were identified as the characteristic fingerprints of Venenum Bufonis.All samples showed the content differences among the samples.The retention times for resibufogenin、cinobufagin、bufalin、bufotalin and cinobufotalin in Venenum Bufonis were consistent with each other.The fingerprint showed good similarity up to 93% in samples from different habitats. CONCLUSION: The method is exact、simple and accurate,and can be used for the identification and quality control of Venenum Bufonis.
