ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of the ethanol extract of thunberg fritillary leaf (EETFL) and the ethanol extract of thunberg fritillary flower (EETFF) on relieving cough, sputum elimination and relieving asthma. Methods The cough relieving effects of EETFL and EETFF were studied in mouse cough model caused by ammonia water and in guinea pig cough model caused by citric acid. The sputum elimination effects of EETFL and EETFF were researched by the observation of tracheal phenol red shedding in mice. The asthma relieving effects were tested by spraying method in guinea pigs. Results EETFL can obviously inhibit the incubation period and cough frequency of the model mice and guinea pigs induced by ammonia water and citric acid (P<0.05), and significantly improve the tracheal phenol red excretion volume in mice (P<0.05), and obviously prolong the incubation period of asthma (P<0.05). EETFF can obviously inhibit the incubation period and cough frequency of the model mice and guinea pigs induced by ammonia water and citric acid (P<0.05), and significantly improve the tracheal phenol red excretion volume in mice (P<0.05), but EETFF couldn’t prolong the incubation period of asthma evidently. Conclusion EETFL has obvious activity of relieving cough, eliminating phlegm and relieving asthma. EETFF has obvious activity of relieving cough and eliminating phlegm, but EETFF has no anti-asthmatic activity under the current dose.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the acute and long-term toxicity of brucea javanica oil subnanoemulsion injections ( BJOSI ) . Methods:The mice were given BJOSI by intravenous injection. The acute toxicity was observed and LD50 in mice was calculated by Bliss method. To observe the long-term toxicological effects, Beagle dogs were injected intravenously BJOSI once a day for 8-week du-ration with the dose of 20, 10 and 6 ml·kg-1 , respectively followed by 3-week recovery period. Results:LD50 of BJOSI in mice was 7. 388 g·kg-1 with 95% confidence limits of 6. 306-8. 656 g·kg-1 . The long term toxicity test showed that all the detected indices were within normal range in all groups, including general state, weight changes,hematological indices,biochemical indices,EEG,organ coefficients, morphological and histological changes, while there was an upward tendency of ALT and Cr in every BJOSI group without dose-effect correlation. The dogs could completely recover in three weeks after the administration. Conclusion:The results suggest that BJOSI has low toxicity,while the pathological changes are reversible, and attention should be paid to the function of liver and kidney.
ABSTRACT
Objective To optimize the prescription and technology of Brucea javanica oil subnanoemulsion injection. Methods Using superfine Brucea javanica oil as oil phase,yolk lecithin and poloxamer 188 as the complex emulsifying agents. The dosage of oil,emulsifier and stabilizer were optimized and the preparation was optimized by orthogonal experiments. Results The optimum precription was 10% oil phase,1.2% emulsifier and 0.1% stabilizer. The optimum technology was that aqueous phase and oil phase mixed at 70 ℃,sheared 20 min by high speed shearing machine and then passed the ultra-high pressure nano homogenizer 6 times under the pressure of 900 bar. Conclusion The physical stability of Brucea javanica oil subnanoemulsion injection is good.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish the quality standard for Kangganmao Granule.Methods Radix scutellariae,radix et rhizome glycyrrhizae and radix platycodonis in the prescription were identified by TLC.The content of the baicalin was determined by HPLC.The column of AichromBond-AQ-C18(4.6 mm? 150 mm,5 ?m)was used.The mobile phase was CH3OH-H2O-H3PO4(43:57:0.2),with the flow of 1.0 mL/min,the column temperature of 30 ℃,and peaks were detected at 280 nm.Results The characteristic of identification by TLC was distinct and highly specific.The linear range of baicalin was 0.049 6～0.297 6 ?g,r =0.999 7,the average recovery was 101.80%,RSD=1.86%(n=6).Conclusion The method was easy to operate with accurate result and good reproducibility.It can be used effectively for the quality control of the preparation.
