Study on the Correlation between Contents of Active Ingredients in Hedysarum polybotrys from Gansu and Ecological Factors / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

ABSTRCT OBJECTIVE:To analyze the correlation between contents of active ingredients in Hedysarum polybotrys and ecologi-cal factors. METHODS:HPLC was used for the simultaneous determination of calycosin and formononetin in H. polybotrys;UV spectrophotometry was used to determine the content of hedysari polysaccharide;and hot-dip method was used to determine the con-tent of extracts in H. polybotrys. Factor analysis method was used to analyze the correlation between contents of active ingredients and ecological factors. RESULTS:4 common factors,which were heat,geography,illumination and precipitation,were extracted. The heat was an ecological dominant factor influencing the quality of H. polybotrys. And ≥10 ℃ accurnulated temperature was the most significant variate influencing hedysari polysaccharide,latitude was the most significant variate influencing the contents of ca-lycosin and formononetin H. polybotrys;and annual averge amount of radiation was the most significant variate influencing content of extracts in H. polybotrys. CONCLUSIONS:Different ecological factors have different effects on the contents of active ingredi-ents in H. polybotrys,and it is the result of the combined effect of various of ecological factors.
