- Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To develop a kit for detection of DNA of Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don and optimize its components as well as process protocols, in order to set up a simple, rapid molecular biology method for identification of Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don. METHODS: All genomic DNA of Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don was extracted by kit assay and pharmacopoeia method recorded in the expanded supplement of China Pharmacopoeia 2010, respectively; ultraviolet spectrophotometer was used to measure the quantity of extracted DNA; PCR amplification and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (RFLP) were carried out to identify the authentication of Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don. RESULTS: The maximum value of genomic DNA extracted by pharmacopoeia method was (1.57±0.05) (OD260/OD280) and (1.73±0.10) by kit assay. The PCR amplification showed a single band over 300 bp, while the RFLP showed two distinct bands between 100 and 250 bp in agarose electrophoresis. CONCLUSION: The data demonstrated that the kit assay was better than the pharmacopoeia method, especially in the extraction quantity and DNA purity of Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don nicleic acid; the PCR and RFLP results showed that the kit assay was consistent with pharmacopoeia method. The detection kit has good specificity, high sensitivity and good stability, so it is suitable for the rapid detection of Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don.
