Abstract:Objective:To determine the changes of mangiferin and neomangiferin contents in Rhizoma Anemarrhenae before and after processing. Methods: High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to determine the changes of mangiferin and neomangiferin contents in Rhizoma Anemarrhenae before and after processing. The mobile phase was ACN: 25 mmol/L KH2 PO4 (pH 3.0), gradient elution. The Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of TCM (2004 A edition) was used to evaluate the similarity of the 3 batches of Rhizoma Anemarrhenae before and after processing. Results: Mangiferin in the 3 batches was upregulated and neomangiferin was downregulated afer prosessing. The similarity of the 3 batches was all decreased(〈 1). Conclusion: Processing changes the contents of mangiferin and neomangiferin in Rhizoma Anernarrhenae.
