ABSTRACT
A method for qualitative analysis of constituents in Panax notoginseng by UPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometry was established. Based on the high-resolution mass information, MS/MS fragmentation behaviors and chemical components from literatures, 43 compounds were identified or tentatively characterized. New type saponin aglycone, combined with malonyl-substituted and acetyl-substituted saponins were discovered and plausibly identified in this study. This work could be helpful for the quality control and further phytochemical studies of Panax notoginseng, and provided a good example for the analysis of chemical constituents in traditional Chinese medicine.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effects of soil microbes of habitats on the cuttings rooting of Huperzia serrata and its mechanism.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The cuttings of H. serrata were planted on the primary habitat soil and on the soil autoclaved, rooting rates were examined respectively. Changes of contents of phenolic compounds (catechin, quercetin, chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid) and indoleacetic acid (IAA) , and changes of activities of polyphenoloxidase (PPO) and peroxydase (POD) during the cuttings rooting were determined.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Soil microbes of primary habitat could increase the rooting rate and the number of roots, could increase contents of catechin, chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid and IAA during rooting, and could affect activities of PPO and POD.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>During the rooting higher contents of catechin, chlorogenic, ferulic acid and IAA caused by soil microbes of primary habitat are important factor for rooting rate.</p>

A new compound and twelve known compounds were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the roots of Homonoia riparia Lour, which are used in folk medicine for treatment of hepatitis, bellyache and scald, by the method of silica gel column chromatography repeatedly with a gradient of PE-EtOAc, PE-Me2CO, CHCl3-Me2CO, CHCl3-MeOH. Their structures were identified as a new compound 1-oxo-aleuritolic acid (1), and twelve known compounds aleuritolic acid (2), 3-acetoxy-aleuritolic acid (3), taraxerone (4), taraxerol (5), methyl 3-acetoxy-12-oleanen-28-oate (6), 3-acetoxy-12-oleanen-28-ol (7), ursolic acid (8), lupenol (9), 3beta-acetoxy-lupenol (10), cleomiscosin A (11), chrysophanol (12), and gallic acid (13), which were obtained from this plant for the first time, by the spectroscopic techniques of NMR, HMBC, IR and MS, separately. Among the cytotoxicities evaluation of compounds 1 -3 towards AGZY 83-a (human lung cancer cells) and SMMC-7721 (human liver cancer cells) tumor cells was assayed by MTT methods with cis-dichlorodiamminoplatinum (DDP) used as positive control. Compound 2 exerted weak activity against AGZY 83-a with the IC50 value of 33.055 microg x mL(-1), while 1 and 3 showed no activity to these two cell lines.
