The preparation process of Xiaoyaosan Oral Liquid was investigated with the orthogonal test. As a result,the amount of water added was a main factor influencing the dip-extraction effect of crude Chinese medical materials when the oral liquid was made with the method of distillation and warm dip. It was suggested that the following process would be the best to ensure the extraction of active compo- nents:adding 10 times amounts of water,then dipping and extracting for 1.5h at 90℃ and repeating 3 times.

Objective: To study the effect of volatile oils from Foeniculum Vulgare Mill, anisaldehyde, anethole and water extracts on the percutaneous penetration of 5 fluorouracil. Methods: With Valia Chien horizontal diffusion cell and HPLC method to observe the effect of volatile oils of Foeniculum Vulgare Mill, anisaldehyde, anethole on the percutaneous penetration of 5 fluorouracil. Results: The volatile oils of Foeniculum Vulgare Mill, anethole, anisaldehyde possessed the high promoting action on percutaneous absorption of 5 fluorouracil, and their enhancement ratio are 7.14, 4.17, 9.54, respectively. Conclusion: The volatile oils of Foeniculum Vulgare Mill, anethole, anisaldehyde enhance the skin permeation of 5 fluorouracil effectively.

Objective:To study the transdermal permeability of Psoralen (Pro) and Isopsoralen (Isopro). Methods:V C two compartment was adopted to research the permeability deferences between Pso and Isopso in nude mouse skin in vitro, and investigated the effect of penetration enhancers, such as EtOH, azone and glycerol on the permeability of them. Results: Pso and Isopso are suitable compounds for transdermal delivery system and the permeability coeffient of Isopso is larger than that of Pso. 10% EtOH-1% Azone greatly increased the permeability coefficient. Conclusion: The results can offer reference for Psoralea corylifolia TDS.

AIM:To study antiasthmatic action of ephedrine on guinea pig by transdermal administration in vivo. METHODS:The gelatinizer made from ephedrine was taken as the treatment to carry research for antiasthmatic effect and compared the difference between therapeatic and control drug. RESULTS:The ephedrine gelatinizet could prolonge the latent period and shock stage of asthmatic attack in sensitized guinea pigs. CONCLUSION:The results indicate that transdermal administration of ephedrine gelatinizer is reasonable

AIM: To establish a method to determine the serum concentration of ephedrine,and to study its pharmacokinefics in guinea pig. METHODS: The serum concentration of ephedrine gels transdermal administration in guinea pig were determined by HPLC and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by computer.(RESULTS:)The calibration curve was linear in the range of 0.5～2 ?g with r=0.998 0.The limit of identification was 0.02 ?g/mL.The pharmacokinetics behavior of ephedrine showed one order absorption.The main parameters after adminstrition of ephedrine gels and extractum ephedrae gels were as follows:t_(1/2)k_a were 1.362 1 and(l.541 8),t_(1/2)k_e were 2.627 4 and 3.262 2 h,T_(max) were 3.124 3 and 3.440 9 h,C_(max) were 0.115 6 and 0.081 0 ?g/mL,AUC were(0.081 0) and 0.741 5 ?g?h/mL. CONCLUSION: Ephedrine shows a fast rate of absorption in guinea pig,serum concentration of ephedrine is stable and lasting potency,and indicates the reason of transdennal administration of Herba Ephedrae preparation.

The studies on the preparation technology,quality control and pharmacodyrnamics of Xi- aoyaosan Oral Liquid have been carried out. The experiment results suggested that,using the color reaction, TLC Identification and TLC-scanner could effectively control the intrinsic quality of oral liquid. Both possessed practical availability and their operations were simple Meanwhile,pharmacodynamic study also indicated that oral liquid could increase the peristalsis of stomach and bowel,the amount of consumed food and the body weight of mice,which was in conformity with the indication and efficacy of the original prescription.

Object The permeability of integerrimine was studied in vitro to design its anticancer preparations Methods Vilia Chien diffusion cells were adopted as apparatus for in vitro skin permeation, nude mouse skins were used as permeation barrier and permeation coefficient (P) was calculated The concentrations of integerrimine in samples were measured by RP HPLC, and the effects of Azone, 4% Tween 80, 8% propylene glycol on it were studied Results Its P is 1 184?10 -2 cm/h with water solution as donor and pH 6 8 PBS as receptor Its enhancement rate (ER) of 2% Azone and 8% propylene glycol is 2 8 and 1 5, while Tween 80 inhibits its penetration Conclusion Integerrimine is a good candidate of antiskin cancer for transdermal drug delivery, and the optimal formulation can be designed according to the experiments

Objective: To study the effects of clarificant chitosan on contents of zinc,manganese,calcium and heavy metal lead in the water extraction liquid of chinese herbal medicines. Methods: The contents of these elements were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.Results: The results indicated that the chitosan clarification could raise the transfer rate of some inorganic elements such as zinc,manganese and calcium as compared with water extraction and alcohol precipitation method,And it could also reduce the amount of heavy metal lead.Conclusion: chitosan as a clarificant is promising in the field of refining water extraction liquid of chinese herbal medicines.

Object To study the degree of deacetylation of chitosan and its residual amount left over in the clarified products when chitosan was used as a clarificant. Methods The free amino group in the deacetylated chitosan was determined by linear titration. Results The degree of deacetylation of chitosan was found to be about 80%. The residual amounts left over in the clarified products were lower than 10 -4 . Conclusion The results suggested that it is feasible to use chitosan as a clarificant for refining water extract of TCM.
