Study on Toxic Medicine Radix Podophylli and Fructus Podophylli by HPLC Fingerprint, Compare Their Toxicity
Objective: The aim of this study wasto compare the chemical constituents of Radix Podophylli and Fructus Podophylli
and analyze the relationship between chemical constituents and the toxicity
as well as to provide the basis for establishment of the fingerprint. Method: HPLC fingerprint was used to study the chemical composition of Radix Podophylli and Fructus Podophylli. The relationship between chemical composition and toxicity was analyzed through acute toxicity test. Result: There were 14 common chromatographic peaks for Radix Podophylli and Fructus Podophylli
the contents of Podophyllotoxin and 4'-demethylpodophyllotoxin in Radix Podophylli were higher thanin Fructus Podophylli. Median lethal dose for Radix Podophylli and Fructus Podophylli was 0.088 7
0.909 8 g·mL-1
repectively. Conclusion: Radix Podophylli and Fructus Podophyllihave the same chemical composition. But there is a great difference in content. Radix Podophylli hasstronger toxicity than Fructus Podophylli. The content of toxic components Podophyllumshould be strictly controlled in the formulation of medicine quality standard.
