Comparison of Content of Coumarins from Different Fractions in Cortex Daphnes
Objective: This study aimed at investigating the distribution of coumarins in the different parts of Cortex Daphnes. Method: The contents of daphnetin and skimmetin in the different parts of Cortex Daphnes were determined by HPLC. The contents of total coumarins in the different parts of Cortex Daphnes were determined by UV. Result: The content of daphnetin in root bark and stem bark was higher than other parts. The content of skimmetin in leaf was the highest. Both daphnetin and skimmetin in bark had higher content than in elder pith. The total coumarins were mainly distributed in bark and leaf
whose content is 4-7 times that of the elder pith. Conclusion: The root bark and stem bark in Cortex Daphnes are not only the medicinal parts in higher quality
but also the parts which are easy to peel and obtain. The leaf of Cortex Daphnes can be developed and utilized in medicine by further research.
