Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To compare the contents of podophyllotoxin and 4'-demethylpodophyllotoxin in Rhizoma et Radix Dysosmae of different areas. METHODS The assay was performed on phenomenex C18(250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was MeOH-0.1 mol·L-1K2HPO4(50∶50). Flow rate was 1.0 mL·min-1. Wavelength was 207 nm, and the temperature of column was 25 ℃. RESULTS The calibration curve was linear in the range of 20-400 ng for podophyllotoxin (r=0.999 9). The average recovery was 100.4% (RSD=1.2%). And the liner range of demethylpodophyllotoxin was 2-20 ng (r=0.999 8). The recovery was 101.6%(RSD=2.5%). CONCLUSION The method is accurate, reliable and simple, the apparent differences of contents among samples was found.
