AIM: To establish the method of determining peoniflorin,ferulic acid and icariin in Bushen Huoxue Granule(Herba Epimedii,Radix Angelicae Sinensis,Radix Paeoniae Alba,etc.).METHODS: HPLC-DAD was used to determine peoniflorin,ferulic acid and icariin.The samples were separated on Alltima C18(5 ?m,250 mm ? 4.6 mm) with mobile phase consisted of methanol-0.1% phosphoric acid(gradient elution).RESULTS: The average recoveries of peoniflorin,ferulic acid and icariin were 96.7%,97.5%,99.6% and RSD were 1.37%,3.13%,0.96%.respectively.The peoniflorin,ferulic acid and icariin samples showed a good relationship in the ranges of 0.318-3.970 ?g,0.096-1.200 ?g,0.414-5.175 ?g in the chosen HPLC condition.CONCLUSION: The method is simple,accurate and reproducible and can be used for the quality control of granule.

OBJECTIVE: To optimize the purification technique for the extract of Acanthopanax senticosus Harms. METHODS: The techniques of D- 101 macroporous resin adsorption, polyamide adsorption and n- butanol extraction were separately applied to purify the aqueous extract of Acanthopanax senticosus Harms. Syringin was detected by HPLC and total flavone was detected by UV. The anti- cerebral ischemia effects of three purified samples were compared using rat MCAO model and mouse decapitation gape model. RESULTS: The three purified samples all showed anti- cerebral ischemia effects, with the sample purified via D- 101 macroporous resin adsorption having stronger effects than the other two. The content of Syringin was correlated with anti- cerebral ischemia effects. CONCLUSIONS: D- 101 macroporous resin adsorption is a be-tter technique for purifying the aqueous extract of Acanthopanax senticosus Harms.

Aim To study the combined effect Euphor-bia kansui of and Glycyrrhiza uralensis on metabolism of Kansuinine A and Kansuinine B. Methods Control, GU and GU plus EK groups were treated for 10 days, respectively. Then the liver microsomes were pre-pared. KA and KB were incubated with microsomes of each group, and concentrations of KA and KB were measured to reflect the metablism of KA and KB. E-rythromycin, diphenhydramine hydrochloride,benzbro-marone, cimetidine, fluconazole the inhibitors of CYP3 A4 , CYP2 D6 , CYP2 C9 , CYP1 A2 , CYP2 C19 respectively, were incubated with KA and KB. Con-centrations of KA and KB were measured to reveal the cytochrome P450 isoforms which involved in the metab-olism of them. KA and KB were incubated with glycyr-rhizic acid and enoxolone. Then concentrations of KA and KB were measured to reveal the effects of glycyr-rhizic acid and enoxolone to KA and KB. Results Concentrations of KA and KB in GU plus EK group were significantly higher than those in control and EK groups, which showed that the metablisom of KA and KB was inhibited in GU plus EK group. In addition, concentrations of KA and KB were higher in microsomes incubated with erythromycin, diphenhydramine hydrochloride, benzbromarone, cimetidine and fluconazole than in control group, which revealed that the metablism of KA and KB was slowed down when CYP3A4, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP1A2 and CYP2C19 were inhibited. They may participate in the metablisom of KA and KB. After incubation with glycyrrhizic acid and enoxolone, the metablism of KA and KB was slowed down. Conclusions KA and KB may be the substrates of CYP2C19. GU plus EK can inhibit the activity of CYP2C19, which resulted in KA and KB metablism slowing down and accumulation. In addition, glycyrrhizic acid and enoxolone can inhibit the metablism of KA and KB. It may be one of the reasons of increased toxicity of GU plus EK.

CONCLUSION: Qingqi Liangying Injection can obviously reduce the rat body temperature and the content of PGE_2 and cAMP in hypothalamus of rats.

OBJECTIVETo study the optimizal hydrolysis process for C21 steroidal glycoside of Bai Shou Wu by acetic acid.

METHODThe effects of acetic acid concentration, reaction temperature and reaction time had been investigated using orthogonal design and the contents of kidjoranin 3-O-beta-digitoxopyranoside, caudatin, kidjoranin 3-O-alpha-L-diginopyranosyl-(1 --> 4)-beta-cymaropyranoside and caudatin 3-O-beta-cymaropyranoside as response indexs were determined by the high performance liquid chromatography.

RESULTThe factors influencing acetic extraction efficiency were as follows: A > B > C (A. reaction temperature; B. reaction time; C. acetic acid concentration). The optimal hydrolysis condition obtained was: refluxing for 6 hours with 5.0% dilute CH3COOH solution at 100 degrees C.

CONCLUSIONThe content of antitumor active ingredients under the optimum hydrolysis condition is raised obviously and has a great part in studying this antitumor drug.
