Abstract

OBJECTIVE To determine and compare the contents of trace elements in different part of Salvia miltiorrhiza bge.METHODS Trace elements in the root,stem,leaf,flower of Salvia miltiorrhiza bge were determined with inductive coupled plasma emission spectrometer.The contents of trace elements existed in the different parts were analyzed and compared.RESULTS The content of magnesium in the root was highest,the stem contained a lot of Ba,Sr,and the contents of B,Cu in the leaf were highest.More important,Fe was very abundance in the flower,and the contents of Ti,Mn,Ni,V,Sn,Pb,Co,Cr,Cd,Li,Zn in the flower all were higher than those in the other three parts.CONCLUSION Thinking over the trace elements,the flower of Salvia miltiorrhiza bge may have some pharmaceutical effects.
