The isolation and purification of components were achieved by a series of chromatography, including silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 and HPLC. By using spectroscopic analysis, their structures were identified. Using PDE-4A as analgesic target, moleculardocking was conducted between isolated compounds by using Schrodinger software. Neoline is a typical non-ester diterpene alkaloid. It was studied by using the mouse torsion body method and hot plate method. A total of 12 diterpene alkaloids were obtainedand identified as Mesaconitine(1), Bewutine (2), Bewudine (3), Songoramine (4), Songorine (5), Neoline (6), Talasamine (7), isotalatizidine (8), Hokbusine A (9), Mesaconine (10), 8-OEt-14-benzoylmesaconine (11), 8-Methoxy-14-benzoyl-beiwutinine (12).Compounds 9 and 12 were isolated from Aconitum kusnezoffii Reichb. for the first time. Twelve diterpenealkaloids could act on the analgesic target. Neoline is a typical non-ester diterpene alkaloid. It had significant analgesic effect. Diterpene alkaloids were the main components of Aconitum kusnezoffiiReichb., and they had good analgesic activity.展开更多

Reichb.f.(bai-ji in Chinese, BJ) incompatible pair. Two different kinds of decoctions, namely WT-BJ mixed decoction: mixed water extract of each individual herbs, and WT-BJ co-decoction: water extract of mixed two constituent herbs, were prepared. Batches of these two kinds of decoction samples were subjected to UPLC-QTOF/MS analysis, the datasets of tR-m/z pairs, ion intensities and sample codes were processed with supervised orthogonal partial least squared discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) to holistically compare the difference between these two kinds of decoction samples. Once a clear classification trend was found in score plot, extended statistical analysis was performed to generate S-plot, in which the variables(tR-m/z pair) contributing most to the difference were clearly depicted as points at the two ends of "S", and the components that correlate to these ions were regarded as the most changed components during co-decocting of the incompatible pair. The identities of the changed components can be identified by comparing the retention times and mass spectra with those of reference compounds and/or tentatively assigned by matching empirical molecular formulae with those of the known compounds published in the literatures. Using the proposed approach, global chemical difference was found between mixed decoction and co-decoction, and hypaconitine, mesaconitine, deoxyaconitine, aconitine, 10-OH-mesaconitine, 10-OH-aconitine and deoxyhypaconitine were identified as the most changed toxic components of the combination of WT-BJ incompatible pair during co-decocting. It is suggested that this newly established approach could be used to practically reveal the possible toxic components changed/increased of the herbal combination taboos, e.g. the Eighteen Incompatible Medications(Shi Ba Fan), in traditional Chinese medicines.展开更多

The determination of the analyte was carried out by high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection. The alkaline alumina was used as sorbent. The mixture of acetonitrile and water was used as elution solvent. Several extraction parameters, such as type of sorbent, the ratio of sample to solid support material, type of the elution solvent and the volume of the elution solvent were tested. Mean recoveries ranged from 93.16% to 102.73%, with relative standard deviations from 0.27% to 4.17%. With the extraction efficiency and time expenditure taken into account, MSPD extraction should be a comparatively good method.展开更多
