Abstract:
In view of the tendency to increase the dosage of Flos Lonicerae(FL) in prescription, an experimental study was undertaken to determine the release rate of chlorogenic acid(CA), an active component part of FL, in decoctions containing different dosage of FL. The results showed that the release rate of CA was reversely proportional to the dosage of FL added when FL was over 40 gm. It is indicated that a large dose of FL is unnecessary.
