Abstract:
OBJECTIVE： To provide scientific basis for the utilization and development of Miao medicine Oxalis corniculata by promoting the quality standard of it. METHODS： Total of 12 batches of O. corniculata were collected from Guizhou， Anhui and Henan， etc. Microscopic characteristics of 12 batches of O. corniculata powder were observed. According to the corresponding methods in 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia （part Ⅳ）， TLC was used for qualitative identification [developing solvent was trichloromethane-methanol-formic acid （8 ∶ 1 ∶ 0.1， V/V/V）]， and the contents of moisture， total ash， acid insoluble ash and alcohol soluble extractive from 12 batches of O. corniculata were determined. The content of isovitexin was determined by HPLC. The determination was performed on Venusil XBP C18 （L） with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1％ phosphoric acid solution （15 ∶ 85， V/V） at the flow rate of 1 mL/min. The column temperature was 35 ℃， and the detection wavelength was set at 338 nm. The sample size was 10 μL. RESULTS： Microscopic observation showed that the powder was grayish brown to yellowish brown， with many non-glandular hairs and obvious fibrous pore. Results of TLC identification showed that the spots of the same color appeared in the corresponding positions of the test and the control chromatogram. The contents of moisture， total ash， acid insoluble ash and alcohol soluble extract from samples were 6.66％-12.13％， 9.16％-13.79％， 1.58％-4.63％ and 5.22％-15.79％， respectively. Results of HPLC method showed that the concentration of isovitexin showed a good linear relationship in the range of 5.20-78.3 μg/mL （r＝0.999 0）； RSDs of reproducibility （n＝9）， intermediate precision （n＝6） and stability （24 h， n＝6） tests were all lower than 2.0％； and the recovery rates were 97.54％-99.52％ （RSD＝0.74％， n＝6）； the contents of isovitexin in 12 batches of O. corniculata were 0.036％-0.144％ （n＝3）. CONCLUSIONS： Qualitative and quantitative identification methods of O. corniculate were established， which can be used as a reference for improving the quality standard of O. corniculata.
