Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the correlativity between volatile components of Wuao decoction and its major constituting herbs.
METHODThe chemical compositions of essential oil, obtained by hydrodistillation from Wu-ao Decoction and its major constituting herbs (Herba Ephedrae, Semen Armeniacae Amarum, Radix Platycodi, Herba Schizonepetae), were analyzed by GC-MS.
RESULTThe volatile components of Wu-ao Decoction were mostly derived from Herba Ephedrae, Radix Platycodi and Herba Sehizonepetae.
CONCLUSIONThe method of GC-MS can be used to investigate the volatile component changes in traditional Chinese medicine formulae.
