[目的]分析乌拉尔甘草中6种微量元素的初级形态,为阐明甘草药效原理和探讨人工种植甘草质量控制提供理论依据。[方法]按照传统煎煮法对人工种植乌拉尔甘草中Cu、Zn、Fe、Ca、Mg、Mn6种元素进行提取;用微孔滤膜分离提取液中的可溶态与悬浮态;采用火焰原子吸收光谱法对可溶态中的6种元素进行测定。[结果]Ca含量最高,为3.572mg/g,其次为Mg、Fe、Zn、Mn、Cu含量最低,为3.81mg/kg。甘草中6种微量元素的含量随元素种类不同而有显著差异。甘草中6种元素的总提取率为1.71%~60.06%,浸留比为0.0183%~1.6820%。其中,Zn的提取率最高,为60.06%;其次为Mn、Cu和Ca,分别为51.86%、22.26%和19.38%,表明Zn和Mn元素的存在形态较易溶于水,与甘草具有镇痛、提高免疫功能等作用可能存在密切的关系。Zn的浸留比最大为1.68,是甘草中作用最大的元素或最特征的元素。火焰原子吸收光谱法对各元素的加标回收率为95.72%~103.15%,相对标准偏差小于2.38%。[结论]火焰原子吸收光谱法准确性高,用以分析乌拉尔甘草中微量元素的初级形态是可行的。
[Objective]The aim was to analyze the primary speciation of 6 microelements in Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. and provide theoretical basis for explaining pharmacodynamic principle of liquorice and discussing quality control of liquorice planting. [Method]The 6 elements Cu,Zn,Ca,Fe,Mg and Mn in roots of G.uralensis were extracted based on traditional decoction method and were separated into water-soluble state and suspension state by micro porous filtering film. The elements in water-soluble state were detected by flame atomic adsorption spectrophotometry (FAAS). [Result]The results showed that extractive rates of the elements were in the range of 1.71%-60.06%,and immerse-residue ratio in 0.018 3-1.682 0; the results also indicated that the immerse-residue ratio of Zn was biggest (1.68),Zn played an important medical role and might be considered as the best characteristic element in G.uralensis; the recoveries of the elements were ranged from 95.72% to 103.15% and relative standard deviations (RSD) were less than 2.38%. [Conclusion]Because of its high accuracy,FAAS method is feasible for analyzing primary speciation of microelements in G.uralensis.
