This project is to study chemical constituents of Rubus biflorus Buch (Chinese name "Fenzhimei"), isolated by silica gel chromatography and structure determined by spectroscopic techniques. Two flavones were isolated from Rubus biflorus Buch and identified as 8-methyl-6-(3"-methylbut-2"-enyl)-5,7-dihydroxy-5'-methoxy-3',4'-methylenedioxy flavone (A) and 8-methyl-5-methoxy-6,7-(2",2"-dimethylpyran)-3',4'-methylenedioxy-5'-(3'''-methylbut-2'''-enyl) flavone (B), named as fenzhimines A and B, respectively. Compounds A and B are two new flavonoids.

Objective: To study therapeutic effect and mechanisms of inhalation of drug-oxygen Fuchong Xiangye for treatment of vascular dementia. Methods: 123 cases were randomly divided into treatment group and control group by single-blind. Thertapeutic effects, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in red cells, plasma lipid peroxide, triglyceride, serum cholesterol and high density lipid protein (HDL) levels, and electroencephalogram were investigated before and after treatment. Results: The improvement of symptom scores and the above indexes after treatment in the treatment group were more obvious than those in the control group, with no reserve reaction in both groups. Conclusion: Inhalation of drug-oxygen Fuchong Xiangye has a better therapeutic effect on vascular dementia, and the mechanism is related with decrease of blood lipid, and increase of HDL and SOD.
