Abstract:
Objective The dynamic accumulation trend of secondary metabolite in cultivated Spatholobus suberectus Dunn at different growth time was studied to provide scientific basis for confirming its reasonable harvesting time. Methods Ethanol-soluble extractives were measured by the method recorded in Chinese Pharmacopoeia ( A) Appendix XA ( 2010 edition). The content of total flavonoids was tested by ultraviolet spectrophotometer. The contents of protocatechuic acid, catechin, and epicatechin in Spatholobus suberectus Dunn were determined by high performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC). Results The contents of ethanol-soluble extractives, total flavonoids and the major components such as protocatechui cacid, catechin and epicatechin in Spatholobus suberectus Dunn showed increasing trend with the prolongation of growth time. The changes of contents of alcohol-soluble extract, total flavonoids and epicatechin in samples collecting at different months in one year showed a parabolic trend, and the contents reached the peak values from July to September. Catechin content kept increasing continually. The content of ethanol -soluble extractives of Spatholobus suberectus Dunn aged 4-6 years met the requirements of the current edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia when harvested from July to September. Conclusion It is preliminarily recommended that Spatholobus suberectus Dunn cultivated for more than 7 years is suitable for harvesting, but the optimal harvest period and the harvest month still need to be further studied.
