YU Ding-rong, ZHANG Cun, GU Xue-zhu, et al. Comparing the Identification by Chromatography and the Content of Paeoniflorin of Peeled and Unpeeled Pieces and of Paeoniae Radix Alba[J]. Chinese journal of experimental traditional medical formulae, 2013, 19(21): 159-161. DOI: 10.11653/syfj2013210159.
Objective: To establish a new method to identify the peeled and unpeeled pieces and provide the basis of quality control for the pieces of Paeoniae Radix Alba by determining the content of paeoniflorin. Method: Two samples were identified by TLC and the content of paeoniflorin was compared by HPLC chromatography. Result: There had significant differences in two kinds of pieces. The unpeeled pieces had one extra spots more than the peeled pieces and the HPLC chromatography showed two extra peaks expect 12 common peaks. The content of paeoniflorin in Paeoniae Radix Alba decreased after peeled. Conclusion: The content of paeoniflorin in Paeoniae Radix Alba decreased after peeled and the established method was simple;it could be used for evaluation of different pieces of Paeoniae Radix Alba.
