The comparative studies on phenylpropanoid glycosides of Viscum album subspecies by high performance liquid chromatography

Viscum L. is a semi-parasitic genus growing on various host plants, such as trees and shrubs. The plant is known as "Okse Otu" in Turkey. In our count ry, Viscum L. is represented by one species and 3 subspecies. These subspec ies are V. album ssp. album, V. album ssp. abietis, V. album ssp. austriacu m. Comparative investigations were carried on with the active principles, p henylpropanoid glycosides, of the subspecies of V. album. Qualitative and quantitative determinations of the phenylpropanoid glycosid es named syringin, coniferin, and kalopanaxin D of 3 V. album subspecies we re done by using HPLC. We developed a new isocratic mobile phase (Methanol: water: 0.1 N sodium acetate 20:73.5:6.5) for HPLC analysis of these group o f compounds.
