TLC Identification and Content Determination of Saponins from the Roots of
Objective: Studies on the saponins from the roots of Bupleurum marginatum. Method: The thin layer chromatography (TLC) was performed to identify saponins qualitatively
and a HPLC method was used for the determination of saponins in the roots of B. marginatum. The RP-HPLC system consisting of C18 (4.60 mm×150 mm
5 μm) column and a solution system of acetonitrile-water with gradient elution
the detection wavelength was at 210 nm
the flow rate was 0.8 mL·min-1
the column temperature was set at 35 ℃ and the injection volume was 10 μL. Result: The linear ranges of saikosaponin A and saikosaponin D were 440-8 800 ng (r=0.999 7)
488-9 760 ng (r=0.999 2) respectively. The average recoveries (n=6) were 99.88%(RSD 0.41%)
100.23%(RSD 0.46%) respectively. The amounts of saikosaponin A and saikosaponin D were in the range of 0.48%-1.08%. Conclusion: The whole grass of B. marginatum as a traditional chinese medicine has its scientific nature.
