OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for rosmarinic acid in Herba Rabdosiae Serrae. METHODS:HPLC method was performed on the column of Inertsil ODS-SP C18 with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.4% phosphoric acid(gradient elution)at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,the detection wavelength was 327 nm,column temperature was 25 ℃,and injection volume 10 μl. RE-SULTS:The linear range of rosmarinic acid was 5.039-100.776 μg/ml(r=0.999 6),RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 3%;recovery was 99.53-104.38%(RSD=2.06%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple with good reproducibility and high accuracy,and can be used for the content determination of rosmarinic acid in Herba Rabdosiae Serrae.

AIM:To determine the effect of rhBMP2 on the migration of human breast cancer cells MCF-7. METHODS:MCF-7 was induced by rhBMP2 (30 ?g/L) for 24 h. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to observe the changes in cell morphology. Cell migration and invasion abilities were assayed by scratch healing and transwell experiments. RESULTS:The formation of lamellipodia and cell polarity together with increased cell length were observed in the cells treated with rhBMP2,whereas lamellipodia of cells in control group were not obvious and the majority of cells tended to be rounder with shorter cell diameter. Compared to control group,scratch healing and transwell experiments showed that the migration and invasion capacity of rhBMP2-induced MCF-7 cells was markedly enhanced. CONCLUSION:rhBMP2 induces human breast cancer cell MCF-7 to present the phenotype of migration and enhances the invasion capacity.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the method for simultaneous determination of pim-O-glucosylcimifugin, liquiritin, 5-0-methylvisammioside and amonium glycyrrhizinate in Xinyi byan pills.METHODS: HPLC-switching wavelength method was used for content determination of 52 batches of Xinyi byan pills sample from enterprises A, B, C. The determination was performed on Kromasil C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0. 1 ％ phosphoric acid at the flow rate of 1. 0 mL/min. The detection wavelengths were set at 220 nm (pim-O-glucosylcimifugin, liquiritin, 5-O-methylvisammioside) and 250 nm (amonium glycyrrhizinate). The column temperature was 30℃, and sample size was 10 μ L. RESULTS: The linear ranges of prim-O-glucosylcimifugin, liquiritin, 5-O-methylvisammioside and amonium glycyrrhizinate were 6. 138-122. 77 μg/mL (r=0. 999 9), 2. 502-50. 03 μg/mL (r=0. 999 9), 5. 988-119. 75 μg/mL (r=0. 999 9) and 12. 788-255. 76 μg/mL (r=0. 999 9), respectively. RSDs of precision, stability and reproducibility tests were all lower than 2. 0％ (n=6). The recovery rate were 100. 32％ (RSD=0. 58％, n=6), 100. 24％ (RSD=0. 56％, n=6), 101. 28％ (RSD=0. 91％, n=6) and 101. 48％ (RSD=0. 79％, n=6), respectively. Total contents of 4 components in enterprise A were generally higher than enterprises B, C, among which the difference of liquiritin was significant; the content of prim-O-glucosylcimifugin in enterprise B was higher than enterprises A, C, while the content of 5-O-methylvisammioside was lower than enterprises A, C. The content of liquiritin in enterprise B was outlier. CONCLUSIONS: This method is simple, reproducible and can provide reference for quality control of Xinyi biyan pills.
