Objective To study the chemical constituents in Crepis turczaniowii C. A. Mey. Method The constituents were isolated and purified by column silica,polystyrene resin RA and polyamide columbine chromatography,and the structures were identified by physicochemical data,MS and NMR. Result Two compounds were obtained in the Petroleum ether fractions as ?-taraxasteryl acetate (Ⅰ) and ?-sitosterol (Ⅱ),and one compound was obtained in the n-BuOH fractions as phillyrin (Ⅲ). Conclusion All above compounds are obtained from the plants of Crepis turczaniowii C. A. Mey. for the first time. Ⅲ is isolated from Crepis L. for the first time.

Objective To establish the quality standard for Zhilining pill. Methods TLC was employed to identify Radix Sophorae Flavescentis and Radix Aucklandiae while the content of dehydroandrographolide in Zhilining pill was detemined by HPLC. Results TLC findings of Radix Sophorae Flavescentis and Radix Aucklandiae showed the spots of same colors as those developed in the corresponding places of control medical materials. Good liner was observed when the samplesize of dehydroandrographolide was within the range of 0.062~1.550 ?g (r =1.000 0). The average recovery rate was 98.00% with RSD=0.90%. Conclusion The method is simple, accurate, stable, reliable and with good reproducibility, which can be used for the quality control of Zhilining pill.

Objective:To analyze the effects of processed Epimedii Folium on endogenous metabolites of mouse melanoma cells (B16 cells) before and after processing based on cell metabolomics; To investigate the changes of processed Epimedii Folium before and after processing.Methods:Ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem four-stage orbital trap mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap-MS) technology was used, and the endogenous small molecules of B16 cells treated with Epimedii Folium and processed Epimedii Folium were analyzed by metabolomics. The differential metabolites between groups were obtained, and relevant metabolic pathways were analyzed based on the MetaboAnalyst 5.0 database.Results:Significant changes were observed in 13 kinds of endogenous metabolites, including alanine, carnitine C3∶0, glutamic acid-1, lactic acid, isoleucine, choline, phosphatidylcholine (34∶2, 36∶2), free fatty acids, citric acid, carnitine C4∶0, lysophosphatidylcholine 16∶0 and malic acid after the intervention of Epimedii Folium and processed Epimedii Folium. And the impact of processed products on differential metabolites was stronger than that of raw products. The main pathways involved were Warburg effect, pyruvate metabolism, malate-aspartic acid shuttle, pyruvaldehyde degradation and so on.Conclusions:Epimedii Folium and processed Epimedii Folium would have certain effects on cellular metabolic pathways. The results may be related to the pharmacological effects and changes in cold and hot properties of Epimedii Folium before and after processing.
