Determination of total flavonoids,eriodictyol-7-methylether and isosakuranetin in seeds of Artemisia halodendron Turcz / 中华中医药杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To establish a method for determination of total flavonoids,eriodictyol-7-methylether and isosakuranetin in Artemisia halodendron seeds.Method:The content of total flavonoids was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry at 506 nm,and compared with eriodictyol-7-methylether as a reference substance;the content of eriodictyol-7-methylether and isosakuranetin was determined by RP-HPLC,the analytical column was YMC-Pack ODS-A column(5?m,4.6 mm?250 mm),the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.2% phosphoric acid aqueous(3565) at a ow rate of 1.0 ml?min-1,and the detection wavelength was 288 nm.Results:The linear range of total avonoids was 0.1228--0.7368mg(r=0.9991) and the average recovery(n=6) was 100.5%(RSD=1.41%);the linear ranges of eriodictyol-7-methylether and isosakuranetin were 3.016--30.16?g/ml(r=0.9999)and 3.304--33.04?g/ml(r=0.9999),respectively;the average recoveries(n=6) were 98.9%(RSD=1.20%)and 96.8%(RSD=1.38%),respectively.Conclusion:The methods of UV and HPLC are simple,accurate with good reproducibility and suitable for determination of total avonoids,eriodictyol-7-methylether and isosakuranetin.
