ABSTRACT
Objective:To establish an analysis method for determining the contents of 7 components including ganoderic acid C2, ganoderic acid B,ganoderic acid G,ganoderic acid A,lucidenic acid A,ganoderma D and ganoderic acid F in ganoderma by QAMS. Methods:An HPLC method was used. The column was WatersX-bridge C18(250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm), the mobile phase was acetonitrile(A)-1% acetic acid(B) (28:72) with gradient elution(0-30 min:A-28% to 38%;30-45 min:A-38% to 55%) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml·min-1,the column temperature was 30℃, and the detection wavelength was 254 nm. Ganoderic acid A was used as the internal reference, the correction factors of ganoderic acid C2, ganoderic acid B, ganoderic acid G, lucidenic acid A,ganoderma D and ganoderic acid F were calculated,and the contents of the 7 components were calculated by an external standard method to verify the feasibility and applicability of QAMS. Results:The relative correction factors of multiple assessments were reproducible,and the relative deviation of the contents of 6 components in 16 batches of Ganoderma lucidum was less than 2% when compared with that of the external standard method. Conclusion:QAMS is accurate and reliable in the quality evaluation of Ganoderma lucidum.
ABSTRACT
Aqueous extract of Dracocephalum tanguticum Maxim. (DtM ),when given ig or ip to experimental hypoxia mice,markedly increased their tolerance to normobaric and hypobaric hypoxia. Erythrocyte superoxide dismutasc (SOD ) activity of mice or rats determined at high altitude (animaquing mountain 4700 m above sea level ) showed an elevated dismutation activity of peroxide anions. At an experimentally simulatcd altitude of 6000 m above sea level,determunation of MDA, Hb and Hct showed an obvious reduction of all the abnormally elevated criteria. It is suggested that the antihypoxia activity of DTM may be partly due to its free radical scavenging activity
