Abstract:
This research utilizes a HPLC-UV method for determining the mass fractions of diosbulbin B and catechin in
Rhizoma Dioscoreae Bulbiferae combined with different proportions of
Radix Angelicae Sinensis. Linearity was obtained over the concentration range of 10~200
μg/mL for diosbulbin B, and 200~1 200
μg/mL for catechin. The average percent recovery of diosbulbin B was 89.4%, and 92.8% for catechin. The contents of diosbulbin B in
Rhizoma Dioscoreae Bulbiferae and different combinations (1:1, 1:2, 2:1) with
Radix Angelicae Sinensis were 2.90, 1.01, 2.19, 2.04 mg/g, respectively. The contents of catechin were 0.78, 0.35, 0.30, 0.43 mg/g in combinations the same as above. The results suggest that different combination of
Rhizoma Dioscoreae Bulbiferae and
Radix Angelicae Sinensis would decide different levels of marker components in
Rhizoma Dioscoreae bulbiferae, which might be relevant to the efficacy enhancement or toxicity decrease.
