Abstract:
Objective: To analyze the content variation of phellodendrine and berberine from Phellodendron chinense in different years, different seasons, and different parts, and to provide the basis for increasing the planting benefit of Chinese herbal medicine. Methods: High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis method was used to determine the contents. Results: The contents of phellodendrine and berberine from different parts of P. chinense showed as the following order: root barks > barks > roots. The contents of the two kinds of alkaloids changed each year. In first three years, the content change trend was obvious, and the content in barks was close to 5% in the third year. The young P. chinense had development value. After the third year, the contents of the two kinds of alkaloids changed slowly. The contents of phellodendrine and berberine in October were higher. Conclusion: The metabolic accumulation rules of berberine and phellodendrine are summarized, in order to provide the basis for the sustainable utilization of P. chinensis resources.
