Content Determination of Chemical Compositions of Old Alice with Different Harvest Time
Objective The aim was to provide a scientific basis for determination of harvest time of the old alice, through the determination of forsythin, forsythoside A and extract in old alice with different harvest time. [Method] HPLC method was used for analyzing the contents of forsythin and forsythiaside A in different harvest time of old alice, and multi-speed oscillator was used for analyzing the contents of extract. Luna5uC18(2) 100A (250 mm ×4.6 mm, 5 μm) column was carried out and the mobile phrase of determination forsythin was acetonitrile-water (25∶75, V∶V) and the detection wavelength was 277 nm.The mobile phase of determination forsythiaside A was acetonitrile-0.4%acetic acid (15∶85, V∶V)and the detection wavelength was 330 nm.The column temperature was room temperature. And the flow rate was 1.0 mL/min.[Results] There was a good linear relationship (R2=0.999 7) for forsythin at 3.33-13.32μg and the average recovery rate was 98.9%,and RSD was 1.8%.The good linear relationship (R2=0.999 7) was for forsythiaside A at 4.17-6.69μg and the average recovery rate was 101.7% and RSD was 0.9%. [Conclusion] Forsythin, forsythiaside A and extract were decreased during the whole experiment have shown a declining trend, in which the content of phillyrin in the whole experiment were not up to the required 2010 version Pharmacopoeia standards. Forsythiaside A and extract respectively in January 20th, 2013 and February 25th would not meet the required standard Pharmacopoeia 2010 edition.
