Deoduk (Codonopsis lanceolata) has a complex chemical composition that includes polyphenols, saponins, amino acids, and other unidentified compounds. The contents of tangshenoside and lobetyolin are considered as standard of quality evaluation of Deoduk. In this study, an ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method was developed for the quantitative determination of the two marker constituents, tangshenoside and lobetyolin. The methods for determining the standards of quality were validated by measuring their linearity, specificity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), precision, and accuracy using UPLC. Reversed-phase UPLC analysis was conducted quantitatively to identify individual tangshenoside and lobetyolin in Deoduk extracted with 50% (v/v) aqueous ethanol. We used 21 samples to carry out quantitative analysis of tangshenoside and lobetyolin. Based on their dry weights, the levels of tangshenoside and lobetyolin were 0.36~3.54 mg/g, 0.24~1.29 mg/g, respectively. These results will be valuable as basic data for standardization of Korean Deoduk.

Codonopsis lanceolata has numerous chemical constituents that includes polyphenols, saponins, tannins, triterpene, alkaloids, and steroids. The extract of C. lanceolata was partitioned with Haxane, CH₂Cl₂, EtOAc, n-BuOH and MeOH. The determination of structure for lancemaside G, lancemaside B, lancemaside A were based on physicochemical and HPLC chromatogram data, including NMR and HR-MS. In addition, tangshenoside I and lobetyolin were identified in the material separation process for the extract of C. lanceolata, and content analysis was performed using HPLC. The compounds were confirmed as lancemaside G, lancemaside B, lancemaside A, tangshenoside I, and lobetyolin.

The roots of Codonopsis lanceolata afforded tangshenoside I(1) and $\beta$-adenosine (2) as $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitors. Their structures were unambiguously determined by 1D and 2D NMR data including HMQC and HMBC experiments. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited weak $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitory activities in vitro with $IC_{50}$ of 1.4 and 9.3 mM, respectively.

Codonopsis lanceolata (Deoduk) was grown in East Asia, including Korea, China, Japan, and Russia, and the roots of C. lanceolata have been used as functional foods and traditional medicine to treat symptoms of cough, bronchitis, asthma, tuberculosis, and dyspepsia. The phytochemicals of C. lanceolata have been reported such as phenylpropanoids, polyacetylenes, saponins, and flavonoids that are involved in pharmacological effects such as anti-obesity, anti-inflammation, anti-tumor, anti-oxidant, and anti-microbial activities. Selecting marker substances of the main producing area by MS-based metabolomics analysis is important to ensure the beneficial effect of C. lanceolata without side-effects because differences in cultivated areas of plants were related not only to the safety of medicinal plants but also to changes in chemical composition and biological efficacy. In our present study, ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry combined with multivariate statistical analysis was applied to recognize the main producing area of C. lanceolata in South Korea. As a result of Principal Component Analysis and loading plot analysis of three groups, Inje (Kangwon-do), Hoengseong (Kangwon-do), and Muju (Jeonlabuk-do), several secondary metabolites of C. lanceolata including tangshenoside I, lancemaside A, and lancemaside G, were suggested as potential marker substances to distinguish the place of main producing area of C. lanceolata.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activity and tyrosinase inhibitory activity of Codonopsis lanceolata 50% ethanol extract, and its solvent fractions (n-hexane, ethyl acetate (EA), n-butanol, water). The main components of the EA fraction were qualitatively analyzed using UPLC Q-ToF/MS. Additionally, a quantitative analysis was performed using UPLC. As a result, the total polyphenol content was 113.36 mg gallic acid/g in the EA fraction, which contained the largest amount of the C. lancolata solvent fractions. Also EA showed the highest antioxidant activity than other fractions. The IC₅₀ of DPPH(2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity was 0.03 mg/mL and the IC₅₀ of ABTS [2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate)] radical scavenging activity was 0.049 mg/mL. The EA fraction showed tyrosinase inhibitory activity than other fractions and especially inhibited monophenolase oxidase reaction higher than diphenolase oxidase reaction. The monophenolase oxidase inhibited 55% when the concentration of the EA fraction was 0.25 mg/mL. As a result of Q-ToF/MS analysis, it was confirmed that tangshenoside I and lobetyolin were the main components of EA fraction. Thus, these results suggest that C. lanceolata may be used as a potent source of cosmetic agents.
