Il existe plus de 90 espèces de plantes de rhodiola dans le monde, et plus de 60% de toutes les espèces se trouvent en Chine, les plus courantes étant la Rhodiola crenulata, la Rhodiola rosea, la Rhodiolas achalinensis et la Rhodiola algida17. La Rhodiola crenulata, enregistrée dans la première partie de la pharmacopée chinoise (2020), est une médecine traditionnelle tibétaine cultivée en haute altitude. La demande du marché pour Rhodiola crenulat...

La phytothérapie a une longue histoire et une riche expérience d’application en Chine, et c’était le premier enregistrement systématique dans le classique à base de plantes de Shennong1. La découverte de l’artémisinine appliquée au paludisme a favorisé le développement de la phytothérapie à un nouveau stade1. L’utilisation de la technologie scientifique moderne pour découvrir le mécanisme exact de la phytothérapie augmente le taux d’utilisation et la demande de phytothérapie, ouvrant un nouveau marché international pour elle 2,3,4. Cependant, cela a entraîné une série d’effets négatifs. Les non-professionnels ont une vague compréhension des caractéristiques de la phytothérapie, ce qui fait que l’utilisation de la phytothérapie fait face à un énorme risque de sécurité5.
Rhodiola crenulata, l’une des plantes de l’espèce Rhodiola, est principalement distribuée au Tibet, au nord-ouest du Yunnan et à l’ouest du Sichuan en Chine (Figure 1)6,7. Rhodiola crenulata comprend du salidroside, du tyrosol, de l’acide gallique et d’autres composés pour le traitement des maladies liées à l’hypoxie grâce à la fonction de « revigorer le qi et de favoriser la circulation sanguine, d’éclaircir le pouls et de calmer l’asthme »8,9,10,11. L’étude sur le terrain montre que Rhodiola crenulata peut être trouvé dans les zones d’éboulis alpins, les pentes de ravines et les crevasses rocheuses à une altitude de 4 000 à 5 600 m. Son environnement de culture est froid, plein de soleil et de rayonnement intense, et il appartient à l’écosystème des prairies alpines. Rhodiola crenulata peut être distribué en populations lamellaires et ponctuelles en fonction du terrain de croissance, et le flux génétique peut être effectué par pollinisation croisée.
L’avortement pollinique du genre Rhodiola, l’excavation illégale et l’environnement écologique dégénéré font de Rhodiola crenulata une espèce en voie de disparition 6,12. Compte tenu de la valeur médicinale élevée de Rhodiola crenulata, des produits contrefaits devraient affluer sur le marché. Cet article présente l’habitat de Rhodiola crenulata et quelques méthodes pratiques d’identification en laboratoire. Tout d’abord, nous avons observé l’environnement de croissance de Rhodiola crenulata et ses propriétés médicinales. Deuxièmement, la microstructure de la poudre médicinale a été observée au microscope. La dernière étape est le point clé. Les composants représentatifs de Rhodiola crenulata ont été séparés et identifiés en fonction des différentes propriétés d’adsorption ou de dissolution de ces composants dans une certaine substance. Les méthodes d’authentification par ADN ou d’analyse métabolomique des plantes médicinales sont compliquées et coûteuses13. Ces méthodes de base, pratiques et économiques permettent d’identifier rapidement la Rhodiola crenulata.

field collection and laboratory routine identification of rhodiola crenulata

L’identification des médicaments est la prémisse et la garantie de la sécurité des médicaments. La majorité des chercheurs scientifiques privilégient le processus d’identification simple, rapide, efficace et peu coûteux des plantes médicinales. Rhodiola crenulata est un médicament traditionnel tibétain cultivé à haute altitude, principalement distribué dans les régions du Tibet, du Yunnan et du Sichuan en Chine. Le crénelé de rhodiola possède de multiples bioactivités, telles que des propriétés anti-inflammatoires, anti-hypoxies et antioxydantes, et a un grand potentiel de développement. Avec la demande croissante du marché et une diminution rapide de la teneur en ressources, un grand nombre de produits confus de Rhodiola crenulata ont troublé les gens. Par conséquent, ce protocole introduit un processus standard pour l’identification de Rhodiola crenulata sur le terrain combiné à des tests de laboratoire de routine. La combinaison de l’habitat, des caractéristiques microscopiques et de la chromatographie sur couche mince permettra sans aucun doute d’identifier Rhodiola crenulata rapidement, efficacement et économiquement, contribuant ainsi au développement continu de la médecine tibétaine et au contrôle de la qualité des matériaux médicinaux.

Herbal medicine has a long history and rich application experience in China, and it was the first systematic recording in Shennong&#39;s herbal classic1. The discovery of artemisinin applied to malaria promoted the development of herbal medicine into a new stage1. The use of modern scientific technology to uncover the exact mechanism of herbal medicine increases the utilization rate and demand for herbal medicine, opening a new international market for it2,3,4. However, this has led to a series of negative effects. Non-professionals have a vague understanding of the characteristics of herbal medicine, which makes the use of herbal medicine face a huge safety risk5.
Rhodiola crenulata, one of the plants of the Rhodiola species, is mainly distributed in Tibet, northwest Yunnan, and western Sichuan of China (Figure 1)6,7. Rhodiola crenulata comprises salidroside, tyrosol, gallic acid, and other compounds for the treatment of hypoxic-related diseases through the function of &#34;invigorating qi and promoting blood circulation, clearing pulse and calming asthma&#34;8,9,10,11. Field investigation shows that Rhodiola crenulata can be found in the alpine talus zones, gully slopes, and rock crevices at an altitude of 4,000-5,600 m. Its growing environment is cold, full of sunshine and intense radiation, and it belongs to the alpine meadow ecosystem. Rhodiola crenulata can be distributed in lamellar and point-like populations according to the growth terrain, and gene flow can be carried out through cross-pollination.
The pollen abortion of the genus Rhodiola, illegality excavation, and degenerated ecological environment make Rhodiola crenulata an endangered species6,12. In view of the high medicinal value of Rhodiola crenulata, counterfeit products are expected to flow into the market. This article presents the habitat of Rhodiola crenulata and some convenient laboratory identification methods. Firstly, we observed the growth environment of Rhodiola crenulata and its medicinal properties. Secondly, the microstructure of medicinal powder was observed by microscope. The last step is the key point. The representative components of Rhodiola crenulata were separated and identified according to the different adsorption or dissolution properties of these components in a certain substance. DNA-based authentication or metabolomics analysis methods of medicinal plants are complicated and expensive13. These basic, convenient, and economical methods can quickly identify Rhodiola crenulata.

Field Collection and Laboratory Routine Identification of Rhodiola crenulata

The identification of medicinal materials is the premise and guarantee of drug safety. The majority of scientific researchers are bound to favor the simple, fast, effective, and inexpensive identification process of herbals. Rhodiola crenulata is a traditional Tibetan medicine grown at high altitudes, mainly distributed in Tibet, Yunnan, and Sichuan regions of China. Rhodiola crenulate possesses multiple bioactivities, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-hypoxia, and antioxidant properties, and has great potential for development. With the increasing market demand and a rapid decrease in resource content, a large number of confused products of Rhodiola crenulata have been troubling people. Therefore, this protocol introduces a standard process for the identification of Rhodiola crenulata in the field combined with routine laboratory testing. The combination of habitat, microscopic features, and thin-layer chromatography will undoubtedly identify Rhodiola crenulata quickly, efficiently, and economically, contributing to the continuous development of Tibetan medicine and the quality control of medicinal materials.

Here, we describe the identification of Rhodiola Crenulata from habitat, plant morphology, medicinal properties, microscopic features, and thin-layer chromatography.

Macroscopic and Microscopic Identification of Rhodiola crenulata Traits and Constituents

To begin, observe the appearance traits of Rhodiola Crenulata with the unaided eye and record the observations. Inhale near the plant to identify the fragrance smell. Next, place a small piece of the root in the mouth, then sip and chew for taste identification.Using a brush, remove the soil on the surface of the plant. Place the plant in an oven at 40 degrees Celsius and turn it every 24 hours. Then powder the dried medicinal materials using a powder machine and filter it through a medicated number three sieve.Spread the powder evenly on a clean slide using a dissecting needle covering 1/3 of the slide within a two millimeter area. Using a glass dropper, add a drop of deionized water to the powder and quickly place a cover glass using a tweezer. Next, place the slide onto the microscope platform.Adjust the light source and the coarse focus spiral to view the powder. Switch to a 40X objective lens and observe the starch granules. Again, spread the powder evenly on a slide using a dissecting needle, then add a drop of chloral hydrate to the powder.Hold the slide with a tweezer and heat on the alcohol lamp thrice for one second each. Add a drop of glycerin to the powder and quickly place a cover glass onto the drop. After adjusting the microscope settings as demonstrated previously, select a 40X objective lens to visualize the catheter, cork cells and fibers, along with the wood parenchyma cells and pigment block respectively.Microscopic examination of our Crenulata revealed key features with cork cells appearing brownish yellow, or colorless with polygonal shapes. Starch grains were observed as single or multiples with distinctive umbilical points and closely arranged spiral vessels. Additionally, xylem parenchyma cells were visualized as achromatic and oval, containing calcium oxalate sand crystals, and irregularly shaped brown red pigment blocks were identified.

Preparing and Analyzing Thin Layer Chromatography Samples of Rhodiola crenulata and Reference Compounds

To begin, weigh three grams of Rhodiola crenulata powder and transfer it into a 100-milliliter conical bottle. Using a large bowl pipette, add 25 milliliters of methanol into the bottle. Place the bottle in the ultrasonic instrument.Set the power to 250 watts, frequency to 40 kilohertz, time to 30 minutes, and start the ultrasonication. Next, rinse the outside of the bottle under running water until it reaches room temperature. Filter the solution through a 0.22-micron microporus membrane.Using a one-milliliter syringe, aspirate 800 microliters of liquid from the bottle and collect 400 microliters of the midstream solution into a chromatographic sample bottle. Measure and add one milligram of salidroside, 0.5 milligrams of tyrosol, and 0.5 milligrams of gallic acid into three separate one-milliliter volumetric flasks. Then, fill each flask to the scale marked with methanol.Sonicate the samples in the ultrasonic instrument using the conditions described previously. Following ultrasonication, aspirate 800 microliters of liquid from the flask. Filter the solution through a 0.22-micrometer microporous membrane and collect 400 microliters of filtrate into the bottle.Add trichloromethane, ethyl acetate, methanol, and formic acid on one side of the double tank chromatography cylinder. Shake the cylinder to mix the contents evenly and cover the upper cylinder head. Arrange the gallic acid, salidroside, tyrosol standard solutions, and our crenulata solution on the sample rack in positions A1 to A4.Place a 5x10-centimeter silicone sheet on the sampling table.Turn on the automatic sampling machine and open the air control valve. Press the Continue button for automatic sampling. After sampling, turn off the machine and air valve.Remove the silicone sheet from the machine. Put the silicone sheet into the other side of the double tank chromatography cylinder. Cover the upper cylinder head and pre-saturate for 20 minutes.Next, use a tweezer to hold the upper end of the thin layer plate and quickly put the silicone sheet into the development agent. Once the organic solvent evaporates, spray the silicone sheet with chromogenic solution. The thin layer chromatographic analysis showed that the R.crenulata sample appeared in spots of the same color, corresponding to the gallic acid, salidroside, and tyrosol standards.
