ABSTRACT
Tibetan medicine Lamiophlomis rotata(Benth.)Kudo is a plant belonging to the genus L.rotata(Benth.)in Labiatae,which is a commonly used bulk Tibetan medicine.As a first-class endangered Tibetan medicine,its sustainable utilization of resources is representative,and it is particularly important to master its species characteristics and adaptation mechanism under high Plateau adversity.This paper sorts out the habitat characteristics,morphological characteristics,population ecological characteristics,reproductive characteristics and other aspects of L.rotata(Benth.),analyzes the growth characteristics and adverse ecological factors of L.rotata(Benth.)in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau grassland,and analyzes its adaptation mechanism in drought,cold and different degraded grass from two aspects of biological characteristics and physiological characteristics.The author believes that it is necessary to study its stress resistance mechanism from many aspects,such as gene and molecular biology,and explore the suitable planting mode of monoculture,so as to provide a theoretical basis for introduction and domestication,cultivation management,resource protection and sustainable utilization.
ABSTRACT
Objective The HPLC fingerprints of different varieties of Tibetan medicine"Bangjian"were investigated to compare and analyse the differences in the chemical composition of different varieties and to further classify them,so as to provide reference for their quality control and safe clinical use.Methods HPLC method was used to establish the fingerprints of the different species of"Bangjian",and UPLC-Q-TOF-MS method was used to analyse the similarities and differences of the chemical components of the mainstream species and to identify the characteristic peaks.Chemometrics methods were used for the analysis including cluster analysis(HCA),principal component analysis(PCA)and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA).Results A total of 11 chromatographic peaks were identified from 93 batches of"Bangjian"samples.The HCA and PCA methods were used to classify the 93 batches into 2 categories,and then OPLS-DA was used to classify them into 3 categories in more detail,while 4 main components were selected according to the principle of VIP>1.The results of UPLC-Q-TOF-MS and chemometric showed that the Tibetan medicine"Bangjian"could be divided into iridoids with benzoyl fragments represented by Gentiana szechenyii Kanitz and monocyclic iridoids represented by Gentiana veitchiorum Hemsl.according to their chemotypes.The latter could be divided into alpine gentian group subtype and multi-branch group ornate subtype according to the content of components.The results of the chemotypic classification proved that the traditional classification of the"Bangjian"has a material basis in science but were also flawed.Conclusion The present study demonstrates that the established HPLC fingerprint can be used to classify the"Bangjian"of the complex base elements effectively,which is expected to provide an effective reference for the improvement of quality standards of"Bangjian"and clinical safety medication.
