Objective To screen endophytic fungal strains isolated from wild Huperzia serrata which can highly produce huperzine A. Methods The strain producing huperzine A was identified through thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high- performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) with authentic huperzine A. The fungus was identified according to its morphological characteristics and nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS sequence. Results The strain was identified as Fusarium oxysporum NSG-1 according to its morphological characteristics and nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS sequence. The amount of huperzine A produced by the fermentation liquor of this endophytic fungus was quantified to be 1.11 mg/100 ml by HPLC, which was higher than that of previously reported endophytic fungi. Conclusion Endophytic fungus producing high huperzine A can be obtained from H. serrata. The production of huperzine A based on mutagenesis and transformation of the obtained strain may adapt to the industry production.

Objective: To study the preparation of sinomenine hydrochloride (SH) loaded nano flexible liposomes and investigate the mechanism of the flexible liposomes for enhanced in vitro transdermal drug delivery. Methods: The SH loaded nano flexible liposomes were prepared by film dispersion method, and the effects of concentration of phosphatidylcholine (PSC), cholesterol (CH), and propyleneglycol (PG) on the entrapment efficiency of SH were also investigated. The SH content was determined by HPLC. The physical property was evaluated by the atomic force microscope (AFM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and photon correlation spectrometer (PCS). The side-by-side diffusion cells were used to evaluate transdermal delivery of SH by nano flexible liposomes. At the end of the transdermal experiment, the treated skin was carefully observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results: The SH loaded nano flexible liposomes were prepared by film dispersion method with the PSC (3%), CH (0.02%), and PG (25%); The SH entrapment efficiency was (66±2.3)%. The prepared nano flexible liposomes had a closed spherical or elliptical shape showed by AFM images, the TEM images appeared as multi-lamellar vesicles. The calculated mean size was (170±26) nm, the zeta potential values of -(43±3.4) mV. The SH loaded nano flexible liposomes caused the structure of stratum corneum (SC) layer disturbed and disordered the intercorneocyte domain wider, this increased the skin permeability of drug. Conclusion: The SH loaded nano flexible liposomes are obviously resulted in a remarkable enhancement of the SH transdermal drug delivery, which could act as a new nanodimensional vehicle for transdermal delivery of SH.

Objective To screen endophytic fungal strains isolated from wild Huperzia serrata which can produce alkaloids and huperzine A (HupA). Methods Thirty-three endophytic fungal strains were obtained from H.serrata.Alkaloid production was assayed with alkaloid precipitation and acid dye colorimetry. Then, the crude extracts of alkaloids produced from fungal strains were analyzed by modulation of acetylcholinesterase(AChE) activity, TLC and HPLC. Identification of endophytic fungi producing HupA was based on morphology analysis. Results Seven alkaloids produced by endophytic fungal strains were determined based on alkaloid precipitation and acid dye colorimetry, among which strain V generated HupA in vitro. Morphology analysis showed that strain V belonged to Penicillium. Conclusion A high percentage of fungal strains isolated from H.serrata leaves has alkaloid producing potentials. It is the first report that Penicillium species produced HupA. The screening of endophytic fungi producing HupA based on alkaloid precipitation and acid dye colorimetry, AChE activity and structure identification are more efficient and directive.

Based on the results of the morphologic studies on genus Dioscorea, the paper summarized the entire chemical constituent that isolated from this genus and analyzed it with the methods of chemotaxonomy. The rules of the chemical constituent and pharmacodynamic effects were analyzed. Seventeen species which belong to Sect. Stenophora Uline of Dioscorea contain steroidal sapogenin. Other species with different main components such as polysaccharide and tannin have have different effects. This chemotaxonomic view point will conduce to establish a phylogeny of the genus Dioscorea.
