Abstract:

Eight ginsenosides in ginseng, uncombined and combined with Aconitum carmichaeli or Coptis chinensis, have been investigated by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry(ESI-MS). The experimental results demonstrated that the contents of ginsenosides decreased in the decoction of ginseng with Aconitum carmichaeli or Coptis chinensis, and the stripping of ginsenosides was stained during the combination. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity of n-butanol extract in compatible decoction was not only better than the single decoction of ginseng, but also higher than the mixture of the single decoction of ginseng, Aconitum carmichaeli and Coptis chinensis, while the variation of water extract was different, which was determined by ferric reducing antioxidant power(FRAP) method. That might be related to the interaction during the decoction process.
