基于ITS2条形码序列鉴定中药材佩兰及其混伪品

目的:对中药材佩兰及其混伪品进行ITS2条形码鉴定,以确保该药材的质量以及临床疗效。方法:提取佩兰的DNA,利用PCR技术扩增其ITS2序列,双向测序,所得序列经过CodonCodeAligner拼接后,用软件MEGA5进行相关数据分析,计算其种内、种间遗传距离,并构建系统发育树。结果:佩兰药材的ITS2序列长度为218 bp;佩兰种内最大K2P距离为0.009,与混伪品种间最小K2P距离为0.024。ITS2序列的NJ系统聚类树可明显区分佩兰药材及其混伪品,表现出良好的单系性。结论:ITS2条形码序列能够成功鉴定中药材佩兰与其混伪品,为保障临床安全用药提供了新的技术方法。

Identification of Eupatorii Herba and Its Adulterants by ITS2 Sequence

Objective: This study aimed to discriminate between Eupatorii Herba and its adulterants in order to guarantee the quality and clinical curative effect of this medicinal material. Methods: Genomic DNA extracted from Eupatorii Herba was used as templates. The internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) of nuclear ribosomal DNA was amplified. Sequence assembly and consensus sequence generation were performed by CodonCode Aligner. The intraspecific and interspecific genetic distances of Eupatorii Herba and its adulterants were computed by MEGA5 and the phylogenetic tree was constructed using the neighbor-joining (NJ) method. Results: The length of ITS2 sequence of Eupatorii Herba was 218 bp. The maximum intraspecific genetic distance (K2P distance) of Eupatorii Herba was 0.0092. The minimum interspecific genetic distance of Eupatorii Herba and its adulterants was 0.024. The NJ trees showed that the ITS2 sequence would be used to identify Eupatorii Herba and its adulterants. Conclusion: ITS2 sequence was able to identify Eupatorii Herba and its adulterants correctly and it provided a new technique to ensure clinical safety in utilization of traditional Chinese medicines.
