AIM: To establish an extraction of alkaloid from Cortex Phellodendri METHODS : Taking berberine hydrochloride and palmatine hydrochloride in Cortex Phellodendri as evaluating index determined by the HPLC,the effects of different solvents,extraction time,and extraction models on extraction rate of the berberine hydrochloride and palmatine hydrochloride were systematically investigated. Berberine hydrochloride and palmatine hydrochloride in Cortex Phellodendri from different sources were also involved. RESULTS : The ultrasound extraction with hydrochloric acid-methanol (1∶100) up to 20min was more effective. CONCLUSION : The kinds of solvent and models of extraction have a great influence upon the extracting efficiency of berberine hydrochloride and plamatine hydrochloride.

Objective: To establish an extraction of paeoniflorin from Radix Paeoniae Alba as traditional Chinese medicine. Methods: The paeoniflorin in Radix Paeoniae Alba was taken as a evaluating marker and was determined by HPLC, the effects of different solvents and extraction on extraction efficiency of the paeoniflorin were systematically investigated. And also the orthogonal test was further used to optimize the extracting conditions. Results: The reflux extraction with 80% ethanol seven times as much as the Radix Paeoniae Alba amount for 2 h and twice was more effective. Conclusion: The kinds of solvent and method of extraction have a great influence upon the extracting efficiency of paeoniflorin.

For controlling the quality of sea buckthornoil, a reversed phase-high performance liquid chro-matography (RP-HPLC) method was establishedto determine the a-Tocopherol contents. Aftersaponated, the sea buckthorn oil samples were ex-tracted by ethyl ether. The extraction liquid wascondensed and tben dissolved in anhydreousethanol for liquid chromatographic analysis. Chro-matographic conditions were as follows: ZORBAXODS column (4. 6 ? 150 mm); methanol as mobilephase (1. 0 ml/min); the wavelength of UV detec-tor: 280 nm. Three branches of sea buckthornseed oil and three branches of fruit oil which wereproduced by Yongshou County, Shaanxi Provincewere determined. The average contents of a-Toco-pherol were 989 mg/kg, and 1745 mg/kg, respec-tively. The recoveries of this method were 98. 6%(for seed oil), 102. 2% (for fruit oil) with CV lessthan 5. 44%.

Objective: To determine the content of sanguinarine and chelerythrine in Macleaya microcarpa(Maxim) Fedde. Methods: RP-HPLC was adopted, kromasil C 18 column (150mm?4.6mm.5?m) with a mobile phase acetonitrile-0.1%(V/V) phosphoric acid solution(25∶75) by UV detector at 270nm. Results: The average recoveries of chelerythrine and sanguinarine were 90.2%,92.8%,RSD were 1.5%,2.4% respectively. Conclusion: A simple, rapid and sensitive method with good precision was established.

Objective: To build an extraction method of coumarins from Radix Angelicae Dahuricae. Methods: The solvent varieties, polarities, and extraction methods were systematically studied by TLC with imperatorin as marker.Results: The more effective way to extract coumarins from Radix Angelicae Dahurica was refluent extraction with 4 times amount of 95% alcohol twice (one hour each time).Conclusion: The Solvent varieties and extraction method showed greater effects than others on the extraction efficiency of imperatorin.

AIM: To establish an extraction method of emodin from Radix polygoni multiflori . METHODS: Emodin in Radix polygoni multiflori was taken as an evaluating marker and determined by HPLC, the effects of different solvents and extraction models on extraction ratio of the emodin were systematically investigated. And also the orthogonal test was further used to optimize extracting conditions. RESULTS: The refluent extraction with 80% alcohol as much as seven times of the medicine amount for 2hs and twice was more effective. CONCLUSION: The kinds of solvent and models of extraction have a great influence upon the extracting efficiency of emodin.

Objective To compare the specificities of the cell membrane stationary phases(CMSP) with cell membrane chromatography(CMC).Methods Cell chromatographic columns were constructed for both rat aorta tissue cells and cultured rat aorta smooth muscle cells.Then the chromatographic affinities of ten ligands of ?-adrenergic receptor(?-AR) with both said chromatographic columns were investigated.Capacity factors(k'),as a chromatographic parameter,were calculated.Results The correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between the rat aorta tissue CMSP and the cultured rat aorta smooth muscle cell CMSP,with correlation factor of r=0.923,P

Objective: To build an extraction method of ferulic acid from Ligusticum Chuanxiong Hort.Methods: The solvent varieties, polarities, and extraction methods were systematically studied by HPLC with ferulic acid as marker.Results: The more effective way to extract ferulic acid from Ligusticum Chuanxiong Hort was effluent extraction with 8 times amount of 40% alcohol under reflux for three hours.Conclusion: The solvent varieties and extraction method showed greater effects than others on the extraction efficiency of ferulic acid.

AIM: To study the pharmacokinetics of ligustilide in the volatile oil from Angelica Sinensis(Oliv.) Diels in the rabbit. METHODS: HPLC method for ligustilide determination in the blood was developed.The HPLC system consisted of C_(18) column using MeOH-H_2O(65∶35,v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and UV detection at 236 nm. RESULTS: Linear calibration curves were obtained over the concentration range of 0.40 ?g?mL~(-1)～10.00 ?g?mL~(-1) for ligustilide.The minimum limit detection was 0.40 ?g?mL~(-1).The recovery of ligusitilide in blood was 90.90% with RSD 2.74%. CONCLUSION: After oral administration of volatile oil,intracorporal process of ligustilide in rabbit accords with 2-compartment model with 1 st order absorption,(2.6638) h and 108.88 h are obtained as t_(1/2?) and t_(1/2?) respectively.
