[Methods] The liquid of total flavonoids in P. chinense Pursh. was intragastrically administered to the test group rats in the maximum concentration and the maximum administration volume,an equal volume of solvent was given to the control group,and it was observed continuously for 14 d; 1. 5% ferrous sulfate feed was used for feeding,the alcohol intragastric administration method was used to copy the AFL rats model,and the therapeutic effect of total flavonoids in P. chinense Pursh. on the fatty liver rats was observed. [Results]No rat died in the medication administration group and the control group,there was no acute toxicity reaction,and the maximum tolerance dose of total flavonoids in P. chinense Pursh. for the rats by intragastric administration was 33. 6 g/kg; rats suffered AFL 6 weeks after the alcohol intragastric administration. For the 800 mg/kg P. chinense Pursh. total flavonoids and 2 000 mg/kg P. chinense Pursh. extract with the same dose as that of the P. chinense Pursh. crude drug,P. chinense Pursh. total flavonoids played a more significant role than P. chinense Pursh. extract in lowering oil red O staining area in AFL rats' liver tissue and reducing the ALT,AST,TC,TG content in AFL rats' serum. [Conclusions]The P. chinense Pursh. total flavonoids had low acute toxicity,and had a greater therapeutic effect on the AFL rats than the P. chinense Pursh.extract.展开更多

In order to optimize their extraction conditions, various extraction parameters were chosen to identify their effects on gallic acid extraction. With extraction amount of gallic acid as index, based on single factor analysis, influence of solid/liquid ratio, ethanol concentration, fetch time and extraction temperature on extraction technology were investigated by orthogonal test. The optimization conditions for gallic acid extraction were determined as follows: ethanol concentration 60%, extraction time 2.5 h, temperature 90°C and solid/liquid ratio 1:30. The corresponding gallic acid content was 4.85%. This optimized extraction process was stable and feasible.展开更多
