Objective: By analyzing the relationship between mineral elements and effective components in Bupleuri Radix to explore the influence of this relationship on quality of Bupleuri Radix. Method: Samples were digested by microwave digestion method
ICP-AES was employed to determine contents of 16 kinds of mineral elements in 24 batches of samples
then according to standards in the 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia
HPLC was adopted to determine contents of saikosaponin a and d with mobile phase of acetonitrile-water for gradient elution and detection wavelength of 210 nm.Relationship between mineral elements and effective components in Bupleuri Radix was analyzed by double variable correlation method with SPSS 17.0 software. Result: Contents of different mineral element and active ingredient in Bupleuri Radix had significant differences.Saikosaponin a and d were significantly positive correlation with Cu element
their correlation coefficients were 0.349 and 0.425;and they had significant negative correlation with Na element
correlation coefficients were -0.517 and -0.420. Conclusion: Mineral elements and contents of effective components in Bupleuri Radix with different growing conditions have a certain difference.It is suggested that saikosaponin a and d can be synthesized in roots of Bupleuri Radix by exogenous application of mineral elements.
