China Pharmacy 1991;0(02):-
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the concentration- time curve of ferulic acid(FA) in serum of healthy male volunteers after oral administration of Guanxin II (GXEH) and to study its pharmacokinetic parameters.METHODS: Serum FA level was determined by HPLC in healthy male volunteers after single oral administration of GXEH(4.5g?kg-1) decoction. RESULTS: No double - peak occurred in the concentration - time curve of FA.6 -fold interindividual variation was noted in maximum blood drug level.The pharmacokinetic parameters were stated as follows: Ka: (0.26?0.350) min-1; Ke: (0.013?0.004 17)min-1;t1/2Ke: (63.45?32.288)min;tmax:(24.117?14.631) min, AUC:(13 263.51?6 478.275)ng?min-1?mL-1; CL/F(s):(0.000 44?0.000 268)L?g-1?min-1.CONCLUSION:There is a significant individual FA level difference in healthy male volunteers after oral oral administration of GXEH decoction,and both the absorption and the elemination of FA are fast.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the variation degrees of the active components in the same batch No.GuanxinⅡdecoctions under the same decoction technics.METHODS:Crude drug of the same batch No.of the same formula was decocted,every decoction detail was tried to be kept under control,the contents of the active components in 5 batches of GuanxinⅡdecoctions were determined and the mean value of which was calculated as well.RESULTS:In terms of the contents of crude drugs,those of tanshinol,protocatechualdehyde,peoniflorin and ferulic acid were respectively(0.773?0.0 656)mg/g,(36.591?3.0 590)?g/g,(2.655?0.2 454)mg/g,(85.052?7.5 469)?g/g.CONCLUSION:Referenced by the criterion that the content variation coefficient among different batches of decoctions should be less than 10%,the contents of active components in each decoction were all up to the standards.Referenced by the criterion that there should be no statistical difference among different batches of decoctions,more influential factors on the active components of decoctions should be brought into consideration in the quality control.

AIM: To investigate the immunoloregulation effect of Angelica polysaccharide extracted from Angelica Sinensis (Oliv.) Diels. METHODS: Index of immune organs were weighed and calculated. Phagocytosis of mononuclear macrophage (M) were determined with carbon particle clearance test. Spectrophotography was used to estimate levels of serum hemolysis IgG, IgM. The cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay. RESULTS: In certain doses (10-100 mg/kg), Angelica polysaccharide significantly increased phagocytic function and spleen index in immunosuppression mice caused by hydrocortisone, while showed no obviouse influnence on thymus index. It also remarkble decreased levels of serum hemolysis IgG, IgM. In vitro experiments, Angelica polysaccharide could increase the proliferation of mouse spleen cell and macrophage. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that Angelica polysaccharide has potent enhancement on non specific immunity, however, it could suppress humoral immunity.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect on enhancement of contraction and relaxation functions of cardiomyocytes induced by of MN9202 TEA, Forskolin, and MB. Methods The twitch amplitude was measured with a video edge tracker method. The following indexes, including ph (peak height), peak height/baseline percent (ph/bl, %), maximal velocity of contraction (+dL/dt) and maximal velocity of diastolization (-dL/dt), were recorded by a computer. Results TEA, Forskolin and MB increased electrically-induced contraction as shown by the following indexes: ph, ph/bl%, +dL/dt and -dL/dt. Forskolin and MB markedly augmented function of cardiac myocyte contraction and diastolization. Comparing with the control group, Forskolin (10-8mol/L) increased ph from 0.12?0.03(um)to 0.24?0.06 (um), ph/bl % from 12?3% to 27?6%, +dL/dt from 1.8?0.5 (um/s) to 3.8?0.9 (um/s), -dL/dt from 1.8?0.22 (um/s) to 3.5?0.7 (um/s). These indexes increased by 91%, 123%, 110% and 89%, respectively. MB also increased significantly; ph, ph/bl %, +dL/dt and -dL/dt were 0.14?0.04um, 11?4%, 2.2?0.3um/s and 2.2?0.6um/s, respectively. MN9202 (3?10~ -6mol/L) decreased the indexes (+dL/dt and -dL/dt ) which were increased by Forskolin significantly. Conclusion TEA, Forskolin and MB increased function of cardiac myocyte contraction and diastolization. These drugs might elevate intracellular calcium content indirectly and directly. The effects of TEA, Forskolin and MB were attenuated by MN9202. MN9202 might not only block Dihydropyridine Receptor, but might also inhibit calcium influx. Further study is needed to elucidate exact mechanism of MN9202.

Aim To investigate the protective effect of RTP1,one of the polysaccharide isolated from Rheum tanguticum,on H2O2 induced apoptosis in IEC-6 cells and its possible mechanism.Methods H2O2(100 mmol?L~-1)was used to induce IEC-6 cell apoptosis.Different doses(10,30,100 mg?L~-1)of RTP1 were administrated before H2O2 was added into IEC-6 cell culture.Cell viability was observed by MTT assay.Reactive oxygen species were measured with laser scanning confocal microscopy(LSCM).DNA content and percentage of apoptosis were assayed by DNA agarose gel electrophoresis,acridine orange staining and flow cytometry.The activation of Caspase-3 was detected with Western blot analysis.Results Following treatment with H2O2 for 2 h,H2O2 induced a significant decrease in cell viability,while DNA ladder was observed and apoptosis percentage was as high as 31.3%.Accumulation of intracellular ROS and increase in Caspase-3 activity were also detected.Pretreatment with RTP1 for 24 h exhibited cytoprotective effects in a dose-dependent manner.RTP1 obviously enhanced cell viability,reduced formation of DNA ladder and significantly reduced the number of cells labeled with Annexin V.The percentage of apoptosis/necrosis cells was markedly decreased to 24.4% and 21.5%,respectively.LSCM showed that RTP1 attenuated the accumulation of ROS.The significant decrease in Caspase-3 activity was detected.Conclusion RTP1 has cytoprotective capacity to antagonize H2O2-induced IEC-6 cell apoptosis and injury,and this effect may be related to decrease ROS and inhibit Caspase-3 activity

AIM: To explore the effects of rheum tanguticum polysaccharides(RTP) on TNBS-induced colitis in mice and its probable mechanisms.METHODS: Mice colitis model was induced by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid(TNBS).The mice were randomly divided into 5 groups,normal group,model group,RTP-100,200 and 400 group.The macroscopical and histological changes of the colon were evaluated and the cytokines IL-8,IL-10,TNF-?and IL-4 produced by splenocyts were analyzed with ELISA.RESULTS: Compared with the model group,both symptoms and the lesions of colonic mucosa of RTP-200 and 400 group were slighter on ulcerative colitis induced by TNBS in mice. Furthermore,the expressions of TNF-?and IL-8 in colon tissue of mice with TNBS-induced colitis were higher and the IL-10 and IL-4 were lower than that of normal control(P

AIM: To investigate the pharmacological effects and mechanism of ethyl ferulate (EF). METHODS: The platelet congregate rate was observed by congregater TYXN-91 and the platelet intracellular calcium oscillation was observed by laser scanning. The acute liver injury model of mice was made by using the CCl 4 156 mg?kg -1, ip. Then the levels of ALT and AST were determined in serum and the levels of MDA and SOD in the liver. RESULTS: The inhibition rate of the platelet congregate were 26.3%? 3.3%, 33.4%? 2.4%, 73.4%? 3.1%, and 94.9%? 2.7% (n=8) in different concentration( 0.1, 0.5, 1.5, and 3.0 mmol?L -1)of ethyl ferulate,respectively. It was higher than those in the same concentrations of ferulic acid. The change of the fluctuation of calcium (?FI 4.6? 1.7) in EF group was much lower than the rest level ( 10.3? 2.6) (n=8,P
