毛細管電泳(Capillary Electrophoresis, CE)是新近發展出來的一種分析方法,已廣泛應用於蛋白質、胺基酸、核苷酸、有機酸、藥物等的分離分析,效果良好。CE分析時間短、再現性佳、自動取樣,尤其特別適合於分析高極性物質的特性,應可有效地應用於中藥成分的定量。本文介紹其在芍藥、黃檗、黃連、麻黃、黃芩等中藥村,及含麻黃、含黃連、含黃檗、含黃芩、含甘草、含杏仁等中藥製劑的應用情形。
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a newly developed instrument widely used with very good results in the analysis and separation of proteins, amino acids, peptides, organic acids as well as pharmaceuticals. It offers short analysis times, good reproducibility, autosampling, and is especially suitable for the analysis of high polar compounds. These characteristics lead to conjecture about possible application to analysis of Chinese herbal drugs. This paper describes the use of capillary electrophoresis in analysis of such crude drugs as Paeoniae Radix, Phellodendri Cortex, Coptidis Rhizoma, Ephedrae Herba, Scutellariae Radix and the Ephedrae Herbacontaining, Coptidis Rhizoma-containing, Phellodendri Cortex-containing, Scutellariae Radix-containing, Glycyrrhizae Radix-containing, Armeniacae Semen-containing Preparations.
