Abstract

The material of Rhodiola sachatinensis collected from an alpine region of the west-northern China. For analysing the effect, 1 used Rhodiola sachatinensis's rhizome and cultivated callus. In EtOAc, BuOH, $H_2O$ separation the plant showed strong antioxidative activity, but not in Hexane. The radical scavenging effect of EtOAc(RC$_{50}$,35(g), BuOH(RC$_{50}$, 43(g), H$_2$0(RC$_{50}$, 50(g) fraction and MeOH extract(RC$_{50}$, 50(g) of the Rhodiola sachatinensis was comparable to that of synthetic antioxidant BHA(RC$_{50}$, 14(g) and $\alpha$-Tocopherol(RC$_{50}$, 12(g). Total amino acid concentration of plant of In nature condition were 18,009ppm, and major components were arginine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid and valine. The ratio of essential/total amino acid on plant of In nature condition was 46.93%. Total amino acid concentration of callus of In vitro condition were 32,435ppm, and major components were valine, histidine, lysine and leucine. The ratio of essential/total amino acid on callus of In vitro condition was 56.07%. was 56.07%.
