[Quantitative Analysis of Pinellia ternata in Banxia Decoction by PCR]
Objective:
To establish the quantitative detection method for Pinellia ternata in Banxia decoction by polymerase chain reaction( PCR) and to explore a suitable quantitative analysis method for medicinal materials in liquid preparation of traditional Chinese medicine.
Methods:
The PCR method was adopted for analyzing Pinellia ternata in Banxia decoction based on the specific detection of ITS region. The PCR amplification products were analyzed with agarose gel electrophoresis. The relationship between the percentage of Pinellia ternata in Banxia decoction with the PCR products were established. In addition,Real-Time PCR assay and agarose gel electrophoresis were applied in the quantitative detection.
Results:
Accurate quantitative analysis of Pinellia ternata medicinal materials can be achieved by two methods,and a better linear correlation in the standard curve( r = 0. 9943) were obtained with agarose gel electrophoresis method.
Conclusion:
A high specificity and sufficient reproducibility PCR technology with agarose gel eletroghoresis method has been established for the quantitative detection of Pinellia ternata in Banxia decoction. The quantitative detection of medicinal materials in decoction based on PCR technology was reported for the first time.
