Optimization of the Extraction Technology of Total Flavonoids from Typhonium divaricatum / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE： To establish a method for the content determination of total flavonoids from Typhonium divaricatum， and to optimize its extraction technology. METHODS： The content of total flavonoids in T. divaricatum was determined by UV spectrophotometry. Using the extraction amount of total flavonoids from T. divaricatum as index， the volume fraction of ethanol， the ratio of material to liquid， the extraction time and times as factors， the extraction technology of total flavonoids from T. divaricatum was optimized by L9（34） orthogonal design， based on the single factor test. RESULTS： The linear range of rutin were 8-48 μg/mL （r＝0.999 7）； the quantification limit was 0.54 μg/mL， and the detection limit was 0.18 μg/mL； RSDs of precision， stability and repeatability tests were all lower than 2％. The recoveries were 99.61％-102.38％（RSD＝1.15％， n＝6）. The optimal extraction technology was as follows： ethanol concentration of 70％， solid-liquid ratio of 1 ∶ 20 （g/mL）， extraction time of 45 min， extracting for 2 times. Under this condition， the average content of total flavonoids from T. divaricatum was 2.74 mg/g.  CONCLUSIONS： Established method is simple and accurate； the extraction process is stable and feasible.
