Abstract:
Objective:To explore the chemical-biological evaluation pattern for the quality control and evaluation of Chinese materia medica solid preparations( CMMSP) according with the characteristics of Chinese traditional medicines. Methods:Lonicera granule as the model drug, the bacteria sensitive tests [minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration(MBC)] were applied to study the antimicrobial effect of Lonicera extract on 4 kinds of standard strains ( Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoni-ae, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The standard curves of the relationship between the anti-bacterial ring diameter for sensitive bacterial and the concentration of Lonicera extracts were established, and the biological potency of Lonicera granule from differ-ent manufacturers was calculated and compared with the result of the HPLC method ( measured by chlorogenic acid) . Results:The anti-microbial test showed that Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were susceptible to Lonicera, and the antibacterial circle edge for Staphylococcus aureus was clear with higher sensitivity. There was a good linear relation-ship between the logarithmic dose and the response effect when the concentration of Lonicera was within the range of 0. 014 2-0. 068 0 g· ml-1(r=0.990 9). Conclusion:As a quality control method for Lonicera and Lonicera granules, the bioassay is feasible, which can ef-fectively cooperate with the traditional test method for the quality control of Lonicera and its preparations.
