Alkaloids in Processed Rhizoma Corydalis and Crude Rhizoma Corydalis Analyzed by GCMS

الملخص EN

The alkaloids in the processed Rhizoma Corydalis and the crude Rhizoma Corydalis were qualitatively and semiquantitatively analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) method.

The processing herb drug procedure was carried out according to the standard method of Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

The samples were extracted using Soxhlet extractor with different solvents: methanol and acetone.

The extraction effect on different solvents was investigated.

The results showed that 11 kinds of alkaloids were identified from the crude Rhizoma Corydalis and only two were from the processed Rhizoma Corydalis.

A total of 13 kinds of alkaloids were all based on two backbones.

The alkaloids in the processed sample were less than those in the crude Rhizoma Corydalis significantly, while almost the corydaline has been changed in conformation after the sample had undergone processing, which provided support for the conclusion of reducing toxicity when the herbal medicine having been undergone a traditional drugs treatment process.
