Objective: To determine loureirin A and B in different brands of home made resina draconis,providing basis for new quality control method.Methods: A high pressure liquid chromatography(HPLC) method has been developed. UV detector wavelength was set at 270 nm.The mobile phase was acetonitrile acetic acid solution (40∶60).The flow rate was 1.0 ml/min and the column was at room temperature.Results: A good linear correlation was found in the range of 4 to 24 ?g/ml of loureirin A.The regression equation obtained was Y =855.8+803 7.1 X ( r =0.999 9); A good linear correlation was found in the range of 20 to 120 ?g/ml of loureirin B.The regression equation obtained was Y =219.3+808 1.8 X ( r =0.999 9).Conclusion: The quantities of loureirin B in all brands are lower than the limit of quality standard.The quantities of loureirin A are higher than that of loureirin B in the same sample.

Objective:To establish a random amplified polymorphism DNA(RAPD) method for classification of origin fungi of the Chinese traditional medicine Red Kojic. Methods:The genome DNA of 7 ordinary species Monascus including M. purpureus and a strain of Aspergillus terreus were extracted by CTAB. The content of DNA was assayed doubly by fluorescence intensity of ethidium bromide (EB) and spectrometer. Amplification products were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis and clustering analysis by PHYLIP 3.5c. Results:A characteristic pattern was produced depend on one of the 10 primers screened from 60 random primers, and the genome was amplified. The diversities of the fingerprint patterns of Monascus was obvious, by which Monascus can be distinguished easily. The results were consistent with that of morphologic study. Conclusion:RAPD is a new assay technique. It can be used to classify and identify of Monascus fungi. [

Through the sexual activity test in Drosophila melanogaster,the antistress test in mice,the influence on sexual gland development of young mice model with yang-deficiency and the Vc content of adrenal gland in rats, the kidney reinforcing and kidney-yang invigorating action of Shen'ebutin oral liquid(SBOL)was evaluated and compared with Guilinji(GLJ),a traditional tonic prescription recorded in Chinese pharmacopocia(1990 edition).The results showed that the therapeutic effects of SBOL were evident and were stronger than GLJ in some aspects.

Objective:To search for a rapid and efficient method for the isolation of 3 kinds of isoflavone glucosides from the ethanol extract of Semen Sojae Praeparatum.Methods: The crude isoflavones were extracted by 75% aqueous ethanol after removing the oil by Soxhlet extraction.Then 1300 macroporous resin,water and different concentrations of aqueous ethanol(10%,20%,30%,40%,50%,70%,and 95%) were used to separate and elute the crude isoflavones.The fraction eluted by 40% aqueous ethanol was subjected to preparative HPLC analysis.The chromatographic conditions: A YWG C18(10.0 mm?200 mm,i.d.10 ?m) column was used;the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-water-acetic acid at volume ratio of 25751(V/V/V) and a flow rate of 3.0 ml/min;the injection volume was 750 ?l;and the detection wave length was set at 260 nm.Results: Daidzin,glycitin and genistin were rapidly separated with the purities over 99% as determined by external standard HPLC.Conclusion: This technique is simple and suitable for the isolation of daidzin,glycitin and genistin from Semen Sojae Praeparatum.

Objective: To determine the suitable condition for enrichment and purification of total flavonoids from Scutel-laria baicalensis with macroporous resins and to select the optimal parameters. Methods: Using the total flavonoids as the standard, the optimum macroporous resins were selected. Sample concentration, adsorption duration and alcohol concentration were investigated by orthogonal experiment design of form L9(34). Results: The 1300 resin was the suitable one for enriching and purifying total flavonoids. The optimum conditions Were as follows :adsorption time at 40 min, sample concentration at 4. 00 mg/ml (pH 5. 0) ,and 30% alcohol as the elution reagent. Conclusion: 1300 resin can be used to enrich and purify the total flavonoids of Scutellaria baicalensis, which can increase the rate of enrichment.

Objective:To establish a method by combining microwave-assisted extraction(MAE),solid phase extraction(SPE)and high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)for determination of the mefenacet residues in rice.Methods:Acetone and acetontrile(37)were used as extraction solvent.Microwave-assisted extraction was used to extract mefenacet residues in the rice.The extracts were then cleaned up with a Florisil cartridge and then subjected to Hypersil C18 column(5 ?m,4.6 mm?200 mm),with acetonitrilewater(5050,V/V)solution as mobile phase and with a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min;the ultraviolet detection wavelength was at 217 nm.Results:Good linear correlation for mefenacet was found within a concentration range of 0.198-9.900 ?g/ml.The detection limit was 0.039 6 ?g/mL for mefenacet(S/N=2).The average recovery rate of rice hull and brown rice were 90.8%(RSD 1.8%)and 85.6%(RSD 2.5%),respectively.Conclusion:The present method is simple and rapid;it can be used for the determination of mefenacet residues in rice.

Objective：To establish a capillary gas chromatography(CGC) method for identifying the origin fungi of traditional Chinese medicine Hongqu. Methods：The volatile components of 7 species of Monascus including M. purpureus Went, M.aurantiacus Lee, M. serorubesceus　Sato, M. albidus Sato, M. barkeri Dangerd, M. ruber van　Tieghem, and　M.fuliginosus　Sato were analyzed by capillary gas chromatography method. Inlet temperature and detector temperature were 280℃，temperature program were 130℃,5 min→10℃/min→200℃, 10 min FID was used for detection. Results：The variety and contents of the volatility components in Monascus had obvious differences which can be distinguished easily by the main fingerprint peaks within 20 min. Conclusion：This method is useful to identify of Monascus fungi.
