Analysis of volatile oil in Gardenia jasminoids roasted with ginger juice by GC-MS / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the components and contents of volatile oil in Gardenia jasminoids, Zingiber officinale, G. jasminoids roasted with ginger juice and to provide scientific basis for intrinsic material of G. jasminoids roasted with ginger juice.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The volatile oil in the three herbal medicines was extracted by steam distillation, the components were analyzed by GC-MS and the contents of the components were calculated by area normalization method.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The contents of volatile oil in G. jasminoids, Z. officinale, G. jasminoids roasted with ginger juice were 1.0, 2.0, 1.5 microL x g(-1), respectively. A total of 89 components were identified by GC-MS. Although 42, 75 and 77 peaks were separated, only 30, 58 and 67 components were identified accordingly, which accounted 94.1%, 90.52% and 94.38% of the whole volatile oil.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>After being processed with ginger juice, the components and contents of volatile oil in G. jasminoids has been changed obviously.</p>

Determination of three organic acids in Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus by HPLC / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish an HPLC method for determination of three organic acids in Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The separation was performed on a C18 column with acetonitrile-15 mmol x L(-1) KH2 PO4 (1:99) and methanol-0.5% acetic glacial as the mobile phrase to determine the content of kinic acid, citric acid, and protocatechuic acid.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Three kinds of organic acid can be detective in different samples, and the average content of the three organic acids were about 18%, among which the citric acid was the highest (18%).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Since organic acids is an important parts of the material basis in Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus, it is necessary to carry out the pharmacological research associated with the function of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus. Further, it will provide scientific basis for the drug relevance research between material basis and efficiency, as well as the foundation for the relevance research on the properties and Five Tastes of traditional Chinese medicine.</p>

Optimization of combination modes of medical materials in extract of Huanglian Jiedu decoction by semi-bionic extraction / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To optimize the combination modes of medical materials in extract of Huanglian Jiedu decoction.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Divided the medical materials of Huanglian Jiedu decotion into 15 groups and extracted by semi-bionic estraction (SBE), the contents of berberine, baicalin, geniposide, total alkaloid, total flavonoid, total integral calculus area of HPLC and extract of 1 000 were determined, standardized, weighted and evaluated, respectively.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The maximum evaluated value Y for the extracting technique was AD + BC.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The optimal combination mode of the perscription is that Rhizoma Coptidis and Fructus Gardeniae, Radix Scutellariae and Cortex Phellodendri Amurensis are decocted together respectively then the two decoctions are merged.</p>

Effects of microwave process on total flavonoids and productivity by immersed in Rhizoma Drynaria / 中成药

AIM: To study the effects of different process methods on the content of total flavonoids and the aqueous extract from Rhizoma Drynariae. METHODS: The contents of total flavonoids of Rhizoma Drynariae processed in different ways were assayed by polyamide chromatography and ultraviolet spectroplotometry; the contents of the aqueous extract were assayed by extraction in water. RESULTS: The contents of total flavonoids and the aqueous extract in Rhizoma Drynariae increased after it was processed and purified. The contents of total flavonoids and the aqueous extract in Rhizoma Dyrnariae hotted in sands, at constant temperature oven and microwave process were not influenced, but easier to be extracted in water by these methods. CONCLUSION:Microwave processis better than the other methods.
