Magnolol and honokiol are the two main active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine Magnolia, and have a wide range of pharmacological effects such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor muscle relaxation, cholesterol reduction and anti-aging. As early as 1930, Japan’s Sugiyra first isolated magnolol from the bark of Chinese magnolia, and proved that this ingredient is also contained in Japanese magnolia, but the amount is very low. In 1973, Fujita successively isolated magnolol and its isomers and magnolol from Japanese Magnolia and Magnolia.

                                                   Changsha Staherb Natural Ingredients Co.,Ltd.
 
Determination of Magnolol and Honokiol by HPLC 
 
1) Reagents
a. Nanopure water                   b. Methanol (HPLC)
 
2) Apparatus
HPLC (Shimadzu)                      Analytical balance (1/10000) 
 Ultrasonic cleaner                    0.45μm PTFE filter
50ml volumetric flask Screw      cap vials
 
3) HPLC condition
Column: Kromasil C18 5m 4.6×200mm
Detector: UV 294nm
Mobile Phase: A= water   B= MeOH
                     A:B=20:80(Isocratic)
Flow Rate: 1.0ml/min
Injection: 10μl
 
4) Procedure
Samples Preparation
Accurately weigh 30mg extraction into 50ml volumetric flask. Add MeOH to
volume and sonicate to mix, filter through a 0.45μm PTFE filter into a screw cap vial
and proceed with the analysis.
Standard preparation /calibration
Prepare a standard solution (approximately 0.2mg/ml in MeOH) using a standard of
MagnololSonicate for about 10 minutes and transfer to screw-cap vials and can be
stored in the refrigeration.
 
5) Calculation
Determine the peak areas of the Maglolol on the sample chromatogram and compare
to the corresponding peaks in the chromatogram for the standard solution. Calculate
the weight percent.
