Study on Quality Standard Improvement of Rhizoma Begoniae from Guizhou / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE：To provide reference for improving the quality standard of Rhizoma Bego niae from Guizhou . METHODS：Five batches of Rhizoma Begoniae from Guizhou were collected ，and the microscopic characteri stics of the Rhizoma Begoniae powder were observed. According to the corresponding methods in 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia （part Ⅳ）， potent adenosine 50-triphosphate competitive phosphati - dylinositol-3-kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors：discovery of compound 26（PKI-587），a highly effi cacious dual inhibitor Morpholine as a privileged structure ：a review on the me - dicinal chemistry and pharmacological activity of morpho - line containing bioactive molecules[J]. Med Res Rev ， qq.com 2019. DOI ：10.1002/med.21634. qualitative identification of Rhizoma Begoniae was conducted by TLC ，and the contents of moisture ，total ash and water-soluble extract in Rhizoma Begoniae were determined. The contents of rutin were determined by HPLC. RESULTS ：The powder of Rhizoma Begoniae medicinal materials was brown ，stone cells were square ，polygonal-like or irregular. There were many starch grains and few complex grains. The conduit ，calcium oxalate square crystal/cluster crystal were visible. The same fluorescence spots were found in the same location of TLC atlas of Rhizoma Begoniae control herb. The moisture ，total ash ，water-soluble extract contents were 10.15％-11.41％，8.70％-12.59％ and 16.91％-19.58％，respectively. The linear range of rutin were 18.47-147.8 μg/mL （r＝0.999 8）；RSDs of reproducibility ，intermediate precision and stability tests （8 h）were all lower than 3.0％；the average recoveries were 99.39％-100.29％（RSDs were 0.23％-2.59％，n＝3）；the contents of rutin in 5 batches of Rhizoma Begoniae were 0.102％-0.198％. CONCLUSIONS ：The contents of moisture and total ash shall not exceed 13.0％ and 14.0％ respectively， and the contents of water-soluble extract and rutin shall not be less than 15.0％ and 0.080％. The quality standard established in this study can be used for the quality control of Rhizoma Begoniae from Guizhou.
