Extraction optimization study of total alkaloid in Radix Aconiti / 中华中医药杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To optimize the extraction procedure of total alkaloid in Radix Aconiti.Methods:The orthogonal design(L9(34) ) was carried out for the optimum extraction conditions guided by yield of the extract and the content of aconitine,hypaconitine and mesaconitine determined with RP-HPLC method,the mobile phase was MeOH-H2O2-CHCl3-DEA(70∶30∶ 2∶0.1).Results:The best extraction process was as follows:moisten with ammonia test solution,then leach for 24 hours with 15 times of ether.Conclusion:The optimum extraction methods are rational.
