ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE： To establish a method for simultaneous determination of 10 isoflavones in Belamcanda chinensis， and to evaluate the differences of active ingredient content of B. chinensis from different areas. METHODS： UPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Waters ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column with mobile phase consisted of 0.5 ％ methyl-β-cyclodextrin and 0.1％ phosphate as water phase， acetonitrile as organic phase （gradient elution） at the flow rate of 0.2 mL/min. The column temperature was set at 35 ℃， and the detection wavelength was set at 265 nm. The sample size was 2 μL， and analysis time was 20 min. The contents of 10 isoflavones in 26 samples from 8 provinces， including tectoridin， iristectorin A， iristectorin B， iridin， tectorigenin， iristectorigenin B， iristectorigenin A， irigenin， irisflorentin， dichotomitin， were determined. RESULTS： The linear ranges of tectoridin， iristectorin A， iristectorin B， iridin， tectorigenin， iristectorigenin B， iristectorigenin A， irigenin， irisflorentin， dichotomitin were 8.569 5-342.78， 0.643-25.72， 1.119 8-44.79， 2.187 8-87.51， 0.770 3-30.81， 0.421 3- 16.85， 0.288 5-11.54， 1.795 3-71.81， 0.560 8-22.43， 0.086-3.44 μg/mL（all r≥0.999 6）. The limits of quantitation were 0.015， 0.102， 0.096， 0.013， 0.036， 0.088， 0.102， 0.019， 0.067， 0.092 μg/mL. RSDs of precision， stability（24 h）and reproducibility tests were lower than 2.00％ （n＝6）. The recoveries ranged 95.30％-103.30％ （all RSD≤2.33％， n＝6）. Among 26 samples of B. chinensis， the content of tectoridin was the highest （3.66％-57.79％）， and the content of dichotomitin was the lowest （0.09％- 0.59％）， the contents of irisflorentin were 0.29-2.80 mg/g. The contents of isoflavones in B. chinensis from different areas were different greatly. CONCLUSIONS： The established method is sensitive， with short analysis time and good repeatability， and can be used to determine the content of 10 isoflavones and evaluate the content difference of each component.
ABSTRACT
Through reviewing ancient and modern literatures,the effect evolution and disease treatment changes of Belamcanda chinensis were understood.The pharmacological experiments were used to verify its main effects.The combination of featured advantages of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modern science and technology contributed to the promotion of TCM modernization.It had important significance for the development of effective components,selection of disease types in the treatment for research and development of new TCM drugs.The indication of Belamcanda chinensis was verified from textual research.The treatment of disease types by Belamcanda chinensis was verified from medical books.The treatment of disease types by Belamcanda chinensis compound was analyzed based on the Pujifang database management system.Main indications of Belamcanda chinensis were summarized.Modern pharmacological studies on anti-inflammatory mechanism of main components of Belamcanda chinensis were combined to screen animal models and investigation indexes for the preliminary verification of the efficacy of Belamcanda chinensis.The comprehensive application of classical herbal medicine books and prescription database analysis results showed that removing phlegm and relieving sore throat were the efficacy of Belamcanda chinensis,which was an important medicine in the treatment of pharyngitis and sore throat.In the modern research,serum of experimental group,IL-4 in throat tissues,as well as IgE and LTC4 level in serum and lung tissues were significantly reduced compared to the model group (P＜0.05).It was concluded that the treatment effect of Belamcanda chinensis extract to chronic pharyngitis may be through the decreasing of IgE level in serum and lung tissues,inhibiting IL-4 expression in serum and throat tissues,and the LTC4 expression in serum.
ABSTRACT
Translational medicine means that to establish a bridge between fundamental research and clinical medicine through bidirectional translation path in order to promote the translation and application from fundamental research to clinical medicine.The purpose of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) translational model is to collate and build one multidimensional TCM translational model,rationality carry out the research on TCM translation.Three paths have been confirmed,where are from literature research to clinical verification,from clinical application to clinical verification,and from experiment to clinical verification.In this research,methodology of one path mcntioned above could be established,which is the key technology of translational medicine.Take constipation,insomnia,and post-flu cough as target diseases to investigate the herbal compounds which could be qualified for clinical application based on preliminary work.This research not only provided clinical data to TCM translation,but also established one methodology of TCM translation path--"from experiment to clinical verification".
