ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To determine Plumbago content in Herba Plumbaginis Zeylanicae under different growing conditions and to provide experimental data for its domestication.METHODS:
High performance liquid chromatography was used to determine Plumbago contents in the roots, stems and leaves of home-grown Herba Plumbaginis Zeylanicae.RESULTS:
Plumbago content in Herba Plumbaginis Zeylanicae grown in mellow and clay soil was higher than in those grown in sand and crude soil. Potasium-fertilized and nitrogen-fertilized Herba Plumbaginis Zeylanicae contained higher Plumbago than those fertilized by phosphorus. Plumbago content was the highest in Herba Plumbaginis Zeylanicae grown in full light. Plumbago contents in roots, stems, and leaves of Herba Plumbaginis Zeylanicae grown under different bred conditions did not vary much.CONCLUSION:
The research group's preliminary studies indicated that Plumbago was the main effective ingredient having anti-cancer and anti-inflammation bioactivity. Clay soil, cuttings, potassium fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer, and full light were thought as ideal conditions for increasing Plumbago content. High quality Herba Plumbaginis Zeylanicae can be grown under these conditions. Copyright 2012 by the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association.
