Determination of alkaloid from combination of Rhizoma Coptidis and Fructus Evodiae by TLCS / 中成药

ABSTRACT

AIM: To investigate the changes of alkaloid in Rhizorrm Coptidis and Fructus Evodiae before and after combination. METHODS: The content of berberine hydrochloride,palmatine hydrochloride,jatrorrhizine hydrochloride in Rhizoma Coptidis and Fructus Evodiae before and after combination were determined by TLCS.RESULTS: After combination of Rhizoma Coptidis and Fructus Evodiae,contents of berberine hydrochioride,palmatine hydrochloride,jatrorrhizine hydrochloride significantly reduced,among which the reduction of berberine hydrochloride was more obvious.CONCLUSION: In decoction,Fructus Evodiae appears to restrict the alkaloid from Rhizoma Coptidis in order to lower the side effect of Rhizoma Coptidis.
