[Studies on the method for the processing roots of cultivated Saposhnikovia divaricata].
OBJECTIVE
To establishing a standard processing method for cultivated Saposhnikovia divaricata.


METHODS
Crude drug was dried at different temperature, and the contents of prim-O-glucosyl-cimifugin,cimifugin,4'-O-beta-glucosyl-5-O-methylvisamminol, sec-O-glucosyl-hamaudol in the processed crude drug were determined by HPLC.


RESULTS
Of the contents of the four compounds, the sample that heated by 45 degrees C was at the best level. Prim-O-glucosggl-cinmifugin was 0.636%, cimifugin was 0.043%, 5-O-methtlvsamminol was 0.598%, sec-O-glu-cosyl-hamaudol was 1.85%, and total content was 1.302%.


CONCLUSIONS
The best drying temperature for processing is 45 degrees C.
