Content Changes of Aristolochic Acid-A from Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis and Its Processed Products / 中国中医药信息杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To research the content changes of Aristolochic Acid-A from Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis and its processed products.Method Chromatographic assay was performed on Lichrospher-C18 column (4.6 mm?200 mm,5 ?m) with methanol-0.1% glacial acetic acid solution (70∶30) as mobile phase,the flow rate was 1.0 mL/min and the detection wavelength was set at 310 nm,the column temperature was 30 ℃.Result The content of Aristolochic Acid-A was lower in three processed products than in crude drugs,and the reduction rate of the one which was boiled by NaHCO3 was the highest.Conclusion The three processed method can reduce the content of Aristolochic Acid-A,and achieve the aim of reducing the toxicity.
