The Fingerprint of Lycium barbarum Polysaccharide was Established by Needs Methylation Method
Objective Polysaccharide is a major active component in Lycium barbarum.the structure and content of polysaccharide are different among different producing districts.At present,most of the quality control methods of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide construct fingerprint from the aspect of monosaccharide composition,but the quality control of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide only by analyzing monosaccharide composition can not fully explain the relationship between structure and Lycium barbarum polysaccharide.Therefore,we established the Needs methylation method of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide fingerprint to achieve quality control of Lycium barbarum from different places by determining the sugar residue linkage mode of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide on the basis of monosaccharide composition.Methods Lycium barbarum polysaccharide was extracted through water extraction followed by alcohol precipitation,and the Needs methylation,complete acid hydrolysis,reduction by NaBH4,acetylation and other methods combined with GC-MS to determine the sugar residue linkage motif of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide.Result The chromatograms of 18 batches of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides were imported into the Chinese Medicine Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System(2004 edition),combined with chemometrics to evaluate the differences of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide from different origin.The result of similarity showed that the similarity of three batches of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide from Tibet ranged from 0.551 to 0.569,others were more than 0.929.16 common peaks were marked in chromatogram of sugar residue linkage mode,and 10 of them was identified,they are T-Arap,T-Araf,T-Xylp,1,2-Arap,1,3-Rhap,1,5-Araf,T-Glcp,T-Galp,1,4-Glcp,1,6-Galp.The results of HCA,PCA and PLS-DA analysis divided 18 bathes of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide were divided into three categories,and three signature components were screened,which were T-Araf,1,5-Araf and T-Glcp,to judge the differences of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides from different places.Conclusion The Needs methylation fingerprint of 18 batches of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide was established for the first time.The establishment of the fingerprint can provide experimental data reference for the quality control of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide,and further prove the role of polysaccharide in the quality control of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
