Abstract:
Objective To provide scientific evidence for the identification and development of fructus psoraleae through its pharmacognostical study.Methods To identify fructus psoraleae by paraffin section and powder method,meanwhile,morphological identification and physical and chemical identification were also adopted.Results The morphological and microscopic characteristics of transverse section and powder of fructus psoraleae were described; fluorescent speckles of the same color were found in the same place of test samples and psoralen and isopsoralen reference by thin layer chromatography; results of water and ash determination all complied with Chinese pharmacopoeia specification,water and 70％ ethanol extractives were 21.93～39.68％,22.03～31.77％,respectively.Conclusion The established method was simple and practical with reliable results,and suitable for the identification of fructus psoraleae.
