HPLC fingerprints were carried out to investigate the chemical ingredients of DCQT; synthetic weighing method based on analytic hierarchy process（AHP） and criteria importance through intercriteria correlation（CRITIC） was performed to calculate synthetic scores of fingerprints; using the mark ingredients contents and synthetic scores as indicators, the Box–Behnken design was carried out to optimize the process parameters of machine decocting process under high pressure for DCQT. Results of optimal process showed that the herb materials were soaked for 45 min and extracted with 9 folds volume of water in the decocting machine under the temperature of 140 1C till the pressure arrived at 0.25 MPa;then hot decoction was excreted to soak Dahuang and Mangxiao for 5 min. Finally, obtained solutions were mixed, filtrated and packed. It concluded that HPLC fingerprints combined with the Box–Behnken experimental design could be used to optimize extracting process of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）.展开更多

The method was validated to meet official requirements including selectivity, stability, linearity, precision and accuracy. Chromatography was carried out using a LiChrospher RP-18 column, a mixture containing acetonitrile, phosphate buffer of pH 3.5 and methanol (45:45:10, v/v/v) and new fluorescence detection at 255 nm for excitation and 448 nm for emission. The effect of methanol content, pH of the buffer, flow rate, detection wavelengths and column temperature was estimated in robustness study, according to a plan defined by the Plackett-Burman design. For identification of significant effects, both graphical and statistical methods were used. Ro-bustness for dissolution test was checked estimating the effects of paddle speed, temperature and pH of dissolution medium. The method was proved to complying with all official guidelines. Therefore, it is suitable for determination of amlodipine and valsartan in their binary mixtures for different analytical and pharmaceutical purposes.展开更多

However, its clinical applications have been limited by its serious cardio-cytotoxic effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of neferine, a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid extracted from the green embryo in the mature lotus seed, on the pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin. The levels of doxorubicin in plasma and tissues were measured using the high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） method. The chromatographic separation was completed on a reversed-phase C18 column using acetonitrile–phosphate buffer（30：70, v/v） as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL /min and ultraviolet detection wave length was set at 233 nm. The pharmacokinetic study found that the co-administration of neferine and doxorubicin significantly affected the pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin. There were evident changes in area under the curve（AUC）, clearance（CL） and t1/2β in group of pretreatment neferine as compared with those in group treated with doxorubicin alone. Tissue distribution analysis showed that the concentrations of doxorubicin distributed to heart, liver and kidney were statistically significant higher in group of pretreatment with neferine plus doxorubicin than those in the doxorubicin alone-group at 0.5 h and 2 h after drug administration, respectively. While the doxorubicin concentrations in spleen and lung drug were slightly increased in the group of pretreatment with neferine plus doxorubicin as compared to that of group of doxorubicin alone, the difference between two groups were not statistically significant. Therefore, the dose of doxorubicin needs to be taken into consideration when it is administrated in combination with neferine.展开更多

[ Method] By comparing the separation effects of three types of gels with different ratios on P. Americana small peptides, an appropriate Tricine-SDS-PAGE method for separation of small peptides was established. [ Result] Standard low molecular weight Marker was preliminarily separated to a certain extent with polyacrylamide gel electraphoresis, while the sample mixture was not separated due to the different levels of aggregation in separating gel, spacer gel and stacking gel. [Condusion] More appropriate polyacrylamide gel electrephoresis separation method or other better separation methods were to be further explored for separating peptide mixture with smaller molecular weight.展开更多

Methods: the samples of Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz were treated with different baking temperatures, baking time, humidity, open space time, sample morphology and other conditions. The contents of Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz I, II and III were determined by HPLC, and the change rules were analyzed. Results: for the original medicinal materials and decoction pieces, temperature and heating time had a certain effect on the conversion amount, but the effect was limited. However, under the influence of the appropriate heating temperature and heating time, the content of pulverized sample powder changed significantly. In the case of Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz in the form of powder, with the increase of storage time, the content of Atractylenolide I, II and III changed significantly. Conclusion: comparison of the content change law of Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz lactone I, II, III is conducive to optimizing the processing method of Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz, and provides a reference for the quality control of Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz.展开更多

Saponin accumulation is higher in the flower buds than in the other parts of P. notoginseng. However, the flower bud compositions have not yet been quantified. The aim of this study is to investigate the formation and accumulation of saponins in the flower buds of P. notoginseng from different populations and at different growth years. Methods Fourteen types of P. notoginseng with different growing durations and from different areas of Wenshan County, Yunnan Province were collected. We separated P. notoginseng individually into the flower buds, stems, leaves, and roots at the places where it has the highest saponin content. An efficient high-performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） method was developed for simultaneously quantifying two active saponins, ginsenoside Rb1 and ginsenoside Rb3, in the flower buds of P. notoginseng. The total saponin content was determined by using a quantitative vanillin-sulfuric acid colorimetric method. HPLC method was used to establish the fingerprints of 13 saponins and then quantify the composition in the whole plant of P. notoginseng. Results The saponin contents of different parts differ significantly, and the total saponin content and those of Rb1 and Rb3 do not entirely correlated. The flower buds of P. notoginseng contain 27.79% of total saponins, which is the highest saponin content in the whole plant. Fingerprint result showed that different saponins were appeared in different parts of the plant, i.e. flower buds, stems, leaves, and roots.Conclusion The saponin contents from the flower buds of P. notoginseng vary depending on the growth area and duration. The fingerprints show that the saponin contents and compositions vary depending on the part of P. notoginseng. These results are useful for the pharmacological evaluation and quality control of P. notoginseng.展开更多
