Effect of purification of the effective fractions of Sanqi Qilian Decoction on atrophic gastritis / 中成药

ABSTRACT

AIM: To investigate the adsorptive and separative properties of 5 kinds of macroporous adsorbing resins to the total saponins and alkaloids, which treated atrophic gastritis with Sanqi Qilian Decoction (Radix et Rhizoma Notoginseng, Radix Astragali, Rhizoma Coptidis.) METHODS: The adsorption capacities, contents and recoveries of the total saponins and alkaloids were selected as the evaluating quotas. The determination of the contents of the total saponins and alkaloids and the investigation into leakage and elution curve were completed with UV-VIS spectrophotometric method. RESULTS: AB-8 resin had the best adsorptive and separative properties to the total saponins and alkaloids in Sanqi Qilian Decoction. The applicable technology was as follows: the concentration of original solution of the extract of Sanqi Qilian Decoction was 40 mg/mL; the largest adsorption capacities on resin to the total saponins and alkaloids were 5.28 mg/mL and 12.38 mg/mL respectively; the eluant was 50% ethanol with 8 times of resin volume, and the elution velocity was 2 mL/min. AB-8 resin could be used for 4 times repeatedly after being reproducted by 95% ethanol and 1 mol/L NaOH. CONCLUSION: Under the process condition which had been selected above, AB-8 resin can be used successfully to adsorb and separate with over 20% of the content of the total saponins Sanqi Qilian Decoction, and 30% of the content of the total alkaloids in the 50% ethanol eluate, and with over 75% of total saponins recovery and 65% of total alkaloids recovery respectively.
