ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE： To establish a method for simultaneous determination of 4 triglyceride anti-tumor components in Coix lacryma seed oil. METHODS： HPLC-ELSD was adopted. The determination was performed on Inertsil ODS-3 C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-isopropanol （57 ∶ 43， V/V） at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The column temperature was 30 ℃， and the sample size was 10 μL. Evaporative light scattering detector was used， the drift tube temperature was 70 ℃， and the gas flow rate was 2 L/min. Using glycerol trioleateas internal standard， relative correction factors （RCF） of linolein trilinolein， 1，2-linoleic acid-3-palmitic acid glyceride and 1-palmitic acid-2-oleic acid-3-linoleic acid glyceride were calculated respectively. The contents of above 3 components in C. lacryma seed oil were calculated by RCF. The contents of 4 components in C. lacryma seed oil were determined by external standard. The results of content determination by quatitative analysis of multi-components by single marker （QAMS） were compared with external standard method. RESULTS： The linear ranges were 0.15-4.50 μg for linolein trilinolein， 0.15-4.50 μg for 1，2-linoleic acid-3-palmitate， 0.35-10.50 μg for 1-palmitic acid-2-oleic acid-3-linoleic acid glyceride， 0.35-10.50 μg for glycerol trioleate （r≥0.999 5）. The limits of quantification were 0.13， 0.06， 0.07， 0.12 μg. The limits of detection were 0.04， 0.02， 0.02， 0.03 μg， respectively. RSDs of precision， stability， and repeatability tests were less than 2.0％（n＝6）. The average recoveries were 95.43％-102.67％（RSD＜2.0％， n＝6）. Average RCFs of linolein trilinolein， 1，2- linoleic acid-3-palmitic acid glyceride and 1-palmitic acid-2- oleic acid-3-linoleic acid glyceride were 0.31， 0.88， and 1.21， respectively. RCFs reproducibility was perfect under different experiment conditions. There was no significant difference in results of content determination between QAMS and external standard method （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS： The method is simple， rapid， accurate and reliable. It is used for simultaneous determination of linolein trilinolein， 1， 2-linoleic acid-3-palmitate， 1-palmitic acid-2-oleic acid-3-linoleic acid glyceride and glycerol trioleateas in C. lacryma seed oil.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To optimize the soxhlet extraction technology of Atractylodis macrocephalae,and to provide evi-dence for research and preparation of its formula granules. METHODS:Using the contents of atractylenolide Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ as index, based on single factor test,the Soxhlet extraction technology of A. macrocephalae formula granules was optimized and verified by L9(34)orthogonal test with extraction time,solid-liquid ratio,extraction times as factors,and then compared with other technolo-gies (normal temperature extraction method,ultrasonic extraction method,reflux extraction method). RESULTS:The optimal ex-traction technology was as follows as 6-fold ethanol,extracting for 3 times,lasting for 8 h. Results of validation test showed that the extraction amounts of atractylenolide were 0.769,0.752,0.781 mg/g (RSD=1.99%,n=3) for 3 times,which were higher than the extraction amounts of other 3 methods(0.683,0.489,0.693 mg/g). CONCLUSIONS:The optimized extraction technolo-gy possesses high extraction rates of atractylenolide Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,and can be used for the extraction of internal ether from A. macro-cephalae formula granules.
ABSTRACT
Emotional and cognitive disorders (EACD),such as depression and anxiety,have become very common in today′s society,seriously affecting human lives and health. Neural plasticity can reflect the anti-stress ability of the nervous system to the internal and external stimulation,and is capable of dynamic changes in structure or function to adapt to environmental changes,as is often manifested in the process of compensation and repair of nerve injuries. EACD is often accompanied by macroscopic and cellular morphological changes in brain tissues and functions. Thus,studies on the mechanisms of neural plasticity will contribute to the treatment of EACD. In this paper ,the role of neural plasticity in the active components of Chinese herbal medicine(ACCHM) is reviewed. The effects of ACCHM on 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)system,and the antioxidant activities and neurotrophic effects of ACCHM are described. ACCHM can affect neural plasticity,playing a neuroprotective role by improving 5-HT levels,reducing oxidative stress in brain cells,and increasing the expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF). In summary,one ACCHM could affect neural plasticity through one or more mechanisms. There are interactions between different mechanisms of the same ACCHM. Different ACCHM can play a synergistic effect on the enhancement of neural plasticity because of their different mechanisms.
