ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a HPLC method for the determination of ferulic acid in Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction. Methods A Kromasil C18(250 mm ×4. 6 mm, 5 μm) column was adopted. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0. 085 % phos-phoric acid(17 : 83)with the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The column temperature was at 35 ℃ and detection wavelength was set at 316 nm. Results A good linearity of ferulic acid was in the range of 0. 0252μg to 0. 504μg and r=0. 999 9. The average recovery was 100. 15 % and RSD=1.69 %. Conclusion The method is simple and rapid, and it is suitable for the determi-nation of ferulic acid in Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction.
ABSTRACT
[Objective] Antifungal action of fat-soluble extracts from Bulbus Allii Cepae (BAC) by different extraction technology on 16 strains of dermatophytes was observed to supply evidence for the optimization of extraction technology for BAC. [Methods] Four methods were used for the extraction of fat-soluble extract from BAC and the antifungal action of the extract was tested by medium dilution method. [Results] Fat-soluble extract freshly extracted from BAC by ether had a strong in-vitro antifungal action and its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was not over 6.25 mL?L-1 against 10 strains of fungi including Shanghai Epidermophytom floccosum and its MIC against other strains ranged 12.5 -50.0 mL?L-1. The minimum fungicidal concentration of fat-soluble extract freshly extracted from BAC by ether was as the same as MIC. Fat-soluble extract freshly extracted by ether had no antifungal action after water removal by heating. [Conclusion] The extraction technology of freshly extracted by ether without heating is a better method for BAC and the fat-soluble extract extracted by this method has a better antifungal action.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the prevention of glucocorticoid -induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head(ANFH)with Tongluo Shenggu Capsule(TSC).Methods One hundred and twenty adult SD rats were randomized into six groups:normal control group,model group,clofibratum group and three -dose TSC groups(high -,moderate -and low -dose respectively).ANFH rat models were established by injection of glucocorticoid once per week and the med-ication groups were given drugs by ga stric infusion one time a day.The rats were killed in the fourth,eighth and twelfth week respectively.Then the macrosc opic and microscopic feature of the f emoral head were observed,and ink -p erfused specimens of the femoral head were detected and analyzed by auto -photograph software of Metamoph to evaluate the pre-ventive effect of TSC.Results In TSC groups,bone trabecula grew we ll,similar to the normal group;lacu nar bone per-centage was lower than that in the mod el group;fatty degeneration in marrow cavity of the femoral head was redu ced,andthe number of subcartilaginous bloo d vessels and their diameter were increased as compared with those in the model group(P
