Abstract

Scrophulariae Radix (Scrophulariaceae) is a perennial growing in all parts of Korea, China and Asia. It has been used as a folk medicine in treating guttural diseases acting as an antiphlogistics, antipyretics and analgesics. In this report, to compare with Korea and China product, quantitative analysis of harpagoside and p-methoxy cinnamic acid (4-MCA) was performed by HPLC method. Using a Luna C18(2) column, we carried out quantitative analysis with 0.1% phosphoric acid in water and acetonitrile as gradient condition. Harpagoside and 4-MCA were detected at retention time of about 11.5 and 15.0 min, respectively. Contents of harpagoside and 4-MCA proved that Korean products were higher than China more than twice.
