Identification of all herb medicines in Fuhuang Tablet / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish the identification method of Typha angustifolia (stir-bake to black), Sophora japonica, Sanguisorba officinalis (stir-bake to black), and Rheum palmatum in Fuhuang tablets. Methods HPLC method were studied to identify typhaneoside and isorhamnetin-3-O-neoheptanoside in T. angustifolia, and sophoricoside in S. japonica. HPLC conditions were as follows: Agilent TC-C18 (2) column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with a gradient elution at a temperature of 30 ℃; Phosphate buffer and acetonitrile were used as the mobile phase with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min; The detection wavelength was 254 nm. The acid hydrolysis-HPLC method was explored to identify S. officinalis (stir-bake to black). TLC identification method was performed to identify R. palmatum. Results HPLC method can identify typhaneoside, isorhamnetin-3-O-neoheptanoside, and sophoricoside synchronously. Acid hydrolysis method can identify S. officinalis (stir-bake to black) by HPLC and TLC can identify R. palmatum. Conclusion The three methods are simple and accurate with high sensitivity and good specificity, which can be used to identify all herbal medicines in Fuhuang tablets.
