Establishment of fingerprints and differential component identification of cultivated and wild Anemarrhena asphodeloides / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To establish the fingerprints of c ultivated and wild Anemarrhena asphodeloides，and to identify their differential components. METHODS Using an evaporative light-scattering detector ， the high performance liquid chromatography combined with Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprint （2012 edition） were used to establish fingerprints of 14 batches of cultivated A. asphodeloides and 14 batches of wild medicinal materials ，and evaluate their similarity. The common peaks were identified by comparison with the chromatogram of the mixed control. At the same time ，the contents of components corresponding to common peaks in cultivated and wild A. asphodeloides were determined. The principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discrimination analysis were adopted to identify differential components of them ，and compare the contents of them. RESULTS Among 28 batches of A. asphodeloides ，10 common peaks were found ，i.e. neomangiferin（peak 1），mangiferin（peak 2），isomangiferin（peak 3），timosaponin B Ⅱ（peak 7），timosaponin B Ⅲ（peak 8）， timosaponin Ⅰ（peak 9），timosaponin A Ⅲ（peak 10）. The similarities of fingerprints of samples with control fingerprint were no less than 0.963. The average total contents of seven components in cultivated and wild A. asphodeloides were 74.18 and 84.72 mg/g， respectively；there was statistical significance （P＜0.05）. The cultivated and wild A. asphodeloides could be divided into two categories. The differential components were neomangiferin ，mangiferin，timosaponin B Ⅱ and timosaponin A Ⅲ（VIP values were all higher than 1）. The content of neomangiferin in cultivated products was significantly higher than that in wild products （P＜ 0.05），and the contents of mangiferin ，timosaponin B Ⅱ and ti mosaponin A Ⅲ were significantly lower than those in wild products （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Fingerprint of A. asphodeloides is established ，and differential components of cultivated and wild A. asphodeloides are identified primarily.
