Objective:To establish an UPLC method for the simultaneous determination of andrographolide sulfonate E and an-drographolide sulfonate F in andrographolide sulfonates. Methods: The sample was separated on a Shimadzu Shim-pack XR-ODSⅢcolumn (2. 0 m × 75 mm, 1. 6 μm) with acetonitrile( A) and potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer solution( B:1. 361 g potassium dihydrogen phosphate and 1. 0g heptane-1-sodium sulfonate were dissolved in 1 000 ml water) as the mobile phase with gradient elu-tion, and the flow rate was 0. 4 ml·min-1 ,the column temperature was 30℃, and the detection wavelength was set at 225nm. Re-sults:The linear range of andrographolide sulfonate E was 4. 39-43. 88μg·ml-1(r=1. 000 0) and the average recovery was 98. 71%(RSD=1. 41%, n=6). The linear range of andrographolide sulfonate F was 4. 43-44. 32 g·ml-1(r=1. 000 0) and the average re-covery was 99. 29%(RSD=0. 76%, n=6). Conclusion:The method is reproducible, sensitive and accurate, which can be used in the quality control of andrographolide sulfonates.

BACKGROUNDTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and toxicity of GP (gemcitabine+cisplatin) and NP (navelbine+cisplatin) regimens in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
METHODSSeventy-six cases of advanced NSCLC were enrolled. Among them, 36 received GP (gemcitabine 1.0 g/m² D1,8,15+cisplatin 30 mg/m² D1-3), meanwhile 40 were administrated NP regimen (navelbine 30 mg/m² D1,8+cisplatin 30 mg/m² D1-3).
RESULTSThe overall response rates of GP and NP were 52.8% and 47.5% respectively (P > 0.05), and the median survivals were 9.8 and 8.7 months respectively (P > 0.05). The main toxicity was hematological toxicity. The incidences of leukopenia were 58.3% and 92.5% in GP and NP respectively (P < 0.01), and those of grade III-IV leukopenia were 16.7% and 52.5% respectively (P < 0.01 ). There was no significant difference in thrombocytopenia incidence between the two groups, however, GP group had a remarkably higher incidence of grade III-IV thrombocytopenia (33.3%) than NP group ( 10.0% ) (P < 0.05 ).
CONCLUSIONSEfficacy of GP regimen is similar to that of NP and both of them can be well tolerated by patients.
