Objective To establish the base of molecular system-theory on medicinal plants of Angelica L.and to offer molecular gists for finding the efficacy difference of them.Methods The PCR technique was utilized together with the clone technique to get the ITS gene and measure its genic sequence.Statistical analyzing and branch analyzing were carried out by Phylip software and genetic distance difference in every kinds can be calculated with MEGA3.Results ITS1-5.8 S-ITS2,belongs to one of medicinal plants of Angelica L.,its sequence length extents 600 to 629 bp.Subtracting 5.8 S,its length is 165 bp,the length of ITS is 468 bp.The medicinal plants of Angelica L.are divided into two groups by dendrogram.The genetic distance of A.sinensis from Gansu Province is obviously different from the other medicinal plants of Angelica L.,but the distance difference compared with Levisicum officinale is smaller.Conclusion It suggests that the above result be identical to the efficacy of medicinal plants of Angelica L.It may be an important reason of explaining why the efficacy between A.sinensis and other medicinal plants of Angelica L.is so different.

Phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K), a key regulator in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, plays a critical role in regulation of cell growth, differentiation, metastasis apoptosis, and angiogenesis processes. Abnormal activation of PI3K is closely related to the development of many types of human cancers. PI3Kδ is an important isoform of PI3K family, mainly expressed in leukocytes, which makes it an attractive target for the treatment of hematological malignancies. Great efforts in both industry and academia have been made to develop PI3Kδ selective inhibitors as anti-cancer agents. This review attempts to provide an overview of recent advances in the research of PI3Kδ selective inhibitors, fueling the progress of the ideal selective PI3Kδ inhibitors in the future.

DNA marked-assisted selection of medicinal plants accelerated the breeding and promotion of new cultivars, and guaranteed the healthy development of Chinese medicinal materials industry. The first disease-resistant cultivar of notoginseng, namely "Miaoxiang Kangqi 1", served as the object of study. We evaluated the Kangqi's resistance of seeds, seedlings and root against the pathological bacteria (Fusarum oxysporum) of root rot. Compared to the traditional cultivars, the disease index of notoginseng seeds declined by 52.0% after inoculation for seven days; the death rate of seedlings and disease index of root respectively decreased by 72.1% and 62.4% after inoculation for 25 days. Additionally, the growth inhibition ratio of notoginseng seeds and seedlings declined after inoculation. The seeds, seedlings and roots of "Miaoxiang Kangqi 1" showed significantly resistant to root rot. The evaluation of disease-resistance of Kangqi provided the basis for the popularization of new cultivar and guaranteed the favoring conduct of notoginseng pollution-free cultivation.

Baicalin (BA) is the most well-known flavonoid present in Radix Scutellariae. The aim of this study was to explore whether the pharmacokinetic behavior of BA in rat brain can be affected by Panax notoginsenosides (PNS), and to assess the possible mechanism for the observed effects. Specific HPLC and HPLC/MS/MS methods were developed and validated for the determination of BA in the rat plasma and brain using carbamazepine as an internal standard. BA was found to enter rat brain quickly after a single intravenous dose. When co-administered with PNS, clearance (CL) of BA from rat plasma decreased by 50.00%, while the area under the curve AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ increased 94.69% and 87.68%, respectively. On the other hand, some pharmacokinetic parameters of BA in rat brain had obvious differences after PNS was administered, such as an increase in Tmax from 5 min to 15 min, an increase in AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ by 42.75% and 29.39%, respectively, as well as a decrease in CL by 27.95%. Together, these results indicate that PNS can decrease the elimination rate of BA from rat plasma, promote the penetration of BA into rat brain, increase the concentration and slow down the elimination of BA from rat brain. The data provide important information that compatibility with PNS can promote the consequent effects of BA for the treatment of encephalopathy.

DNA marker-assisted selection of medicinal plants is based on the DNA polymorphism, selects the DNA sequences related to the phenotypes such as high yields, superior quality, stress-resistance and so on according to the technologies of molecular hybridization, polymerase chain reaction and high-throughput sequencing, and assists the breeding of new cultivars. This study bred the first disease-resistant cultivar of notoginseng "Miaoxiang Kangqi 1" using the technology of DNA marker-assisted selection of medicinal plants and systematic breeding. The disease-resistant cultivar of notoginseng contained 12 special SNPs based on the analysis of Restriction-site Associated DNA Sequencing (RAD-Seq). Among the SNP (record_519688) was related to the root rot-resistant characteristics, which indicated this SNP could serve as genetic markers of disease-resistant cultivars and assist the systematic breeding. Compared to the conventional cultivated cultivars, the incidence rate of root-rot and rust-rot in notoginseng seedlings decreased by 83.6% and 71.8%, respectively. The incidence rate of root-rot respectively declined by 43.6% and 62.9% in notoginseng cultivation for 2 and 3 years compared with those of the conventional cultivated cultivars. Additionally, the potential disease-resistant groups were screened based on the relative SNP, and this model enlarged the target groups and advanced the breeding efficiency. DNA marker-assisted selection of medicinal plants accelerated the breeding and promotion of new cultivars, and guaranteed the healthy development of Chinese medicinal materials industry.
