A new method for the extraction of tea-polypbenols (TP ) from tea using AlCl3 as precipitating agents was proposed. Compared with tbe traditional extraction method using organic solvents, it is shown that the new method is simple and can be operated easily. The extraction rate of TP by the new method could reach 10.5% and the content of the effective ingredients of TP could reach over 99.5%

In vitro experiment, results showed the that the LH secretion of adenohypophysis incubated with Ginsenosides ( G ) and Pantoc-rine ( P ) was significantly increased, similar to the exciting effect of LRH which stimulats LH secretion. By addition of G or P and Indomethacin (an inhibitor of PGs synthesis) at the same time, however, the LH secretion was significantly decreased. It appears that PGs may be involved in the regulation of the exciting effect of G and P on LH secretion. The experiment in vivo also demonstrated that in healthy young male rats injected with P by S.c.,thetestosterone content in plasma had significant increase, that the binding capacity of testicular tissue to 125I-HCG (receptor function) did not change clearly.

Aim To investigate the molecular mechanism of anti-proliferation effect of Ginsenoside Rh2(G-Rh2)on mouse MFC gastric cells.Methods The cell viability was determined by MTT method and the state of cell proliferation was analyzed.The morphologic changes were observed by invert microscope and fluorescence microscope(Hoechst 33258).Early apoptotic rate was detected by Annexin Ⅴ-FITC through flow cytometry.Western blot was used to detect the p-JNK and p-c-jun activity in MFC cells.Immunocytochemistry staining was used to detect caspase-3 positive cells.Results G-Rh2 could inhibit proliferation of MFC cells in a dose-and-time-dependent manner.The morphological changes of apoptosis were observed in MFC cells after G-Rh2 treatment.The apoptotic ratio was increased.The phosphorylation of c-Jun and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase(JNK)activity increased with time within 4 h compared with that of control.The expression of caspase-3 positive cells was increased.But all the above could be partly inhibited by pre-treatment with SP600125(5 ?mol?L-1)for 2 h.Conclusion G-Rh2 can decrease cell viability by inducing apoptosis and the process may be associated with the activation of JNK transduction pathway and expression of caspase-3.

Objective To investigate in vitro anti-tumor activity and the related mechanism of four alkaloid monomers from Sophora alopecuroides,and to evaluate their toxicity on normal cells,thereby to screen the drugs with high efficiency and low toxicity anti-tumor effects.Methods Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was employed to determine the effects of four alkaloid monomers on the proliferation activity of human lung cancer cells and hamster lung cells.Morphology of apoptotic lung cancer cell nucleus was observed by laser scanning confocal microscopy with Hochest33342 staining.Cell apoptosis and necrosis were measured by Annexin Ⅴ-FITC/PI double staining.Results The four alkaloid monomers showed different degree of proliferation inhibition on lung cancer cells with dose dependent manner.Oxysophoridine had the strongest inhibition effect on lung cancer cells and the minimun toxicity on normal lung cells.Hochest33342 staining and flow cytometry analysis demonstrated that oxysophoridine could induce the apoptosis and necrosis of A549 cells.Conclusions All four alkaloid monomers have certain anti-tumor effect on lung cancer cells.Oxysophoridine is the most active one with high efficiency and low toxicity characteristics,which is suitable for use as anti-tumor drug candidate for further development.
