Determination of Aristolochic Acid Ⅰ in Different Parts of Asarum by HPLC-UV
The content of aristolochic acid Ⅰ in asarum was determined by ultrasonic extraction with 70%methanol solution and HPLC-UV method.The detection limit was 0.20 ng.The recovery rate was 98.5%-103.5%.The detec-tion method is simple,with good separation,high sensitivity,and good stability.Aristolochic acid Ⅰ was not detected in the roots and stems of asarum,and the content in the leaves was 0.031 3-0.087 3 mg/kg,which was far below the pharmacopoeia limit of 0.001%,and the risk was very low.
