Determination of Matrine and Oxymatrine in Radix Sophorae Flavescentis by Resonance Rayleigh Scattering, Second-order Scattering and Frequency Doubling Scattering Technique

摘要

In 0.1 mol/L HCl medium, 12-tungstophosphoric(TP) acid reacted with matrine(Mat) and oxymatrine(Oxy) to form an ion-association complex. As a result, the new spectra of resonance Rayleigh scattering(RRS), second-order scattering(SOS) and frequency doubling scattering(FDS) appeared and their intensities were enhanced greatly. The maximum scattering wavelengths of RRS, SOS and FDS were located at 370, 670 and 390 nm, respectively. The in-crements of scattering intensity were directly proportional to the concentration of Mat and Oxy in a certain range. Based on this, the method for the determination of matrine and oxymatrine has been established. It has been applied to the determination of matrine and oxymatrine in samples of Radix sophorae flavescentis with satisfactory result. The reaction mechanism and reasons of RRS enhancement were discussed.
