Zhongguo Zhong Yao Za Zhi. 2010 Aug;35(16):2091-4. | Qualitative and quantitative methods for Alpiniae Katsumadai semen[Pubmed: 21046736] | The qualitative and quantitative methods for the quality evaluation of Alpiniae Katsumadai Semen were established. Alpinetin, pinocembrin, cardamonin and Alnustone in the sample were identified by TLC. METHODS AND RESULTS: The contents of them were determined by HPLC. The separation was performed on a Ultimate XB-C18 column (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm) at 30 degrees C using a gradient elution consisting of mobile phase A (water) and mobile phase B (MeOH). The detection wavelength was 300 nm. The TLC method was suitable for the identification of alpinetin, pinocembrin, cardamonin and Alnustone. The linear ranges of the four reference compounds were 25.5-509 (r = 0.9999), 24.9-498 (r = 0.9999), 26.1-521 (r = 0.9999), 50.2-1003 ng (r = 0.9999), respectively. The average recoveries (n=9) of the four components were 97.95%, 97.36%, 97.50%, 98.02%, RSD < 1.9%. Nine samples were analyzed by the established methods. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that, the methods are simple, accurate, sensitive and reliable for quality evaluation of Alpiniae Katsumadai Semen. |
