Qualitative and Quantitative Evaluation of Epimedium and Ginseng Contained Combinations Using HPLC

摘要

Aim:To develop a rapid,effective method for the detemination of flavonoids and ginsenosides in one injection and evaluate the flavonoids and ginsenosides content to control the ratio of Epimedium and Ginseng herbs in botanical combinations.Methods: The quality evaluation was determinatted using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatog raphy(HPLC),referred by the major flovonoids from Epimedium,epimedin A,epimedin B,epimedin C,and icariin as the standards,and the major ginsenosides Rg1,Re,Rf,Rb1,Rb2,and Rd as the standards,included Epimedium brevicornum Maxim.,E.sagittatum(Sieb.et Zucc)Maxim.,E.koreanum NaKai,P.ginseng C.A.Meyer,P.quinquefolium L.,P.notoginseng and some products containing the above herbs.Results:The main flavonoids and ginsenosides could be clearly resolved in the single analysis.Conclusion.The results can be effectively used in evaluating qualitatively and quantitatively the ration of Epimdium and Ginseng contained products.
