ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the influence of drug compatibility on the components of the volatile oil in Flos Lonicerae and Fructus Forsythiae. Methods GC-MS system was used to analyze the volatile oil in Flos Lonicerae, Fructas Forsythiae and their combination. The effect of compatibility on the components and content of volatile oil was evaluated. Results The results of GC-MS showed that gerani]o, tetradecanoic acid methyl ester, hexadecanoic acid ethyl ester, fluoranthene, 9, 12, 15-Octadeeatrienoic acid ethyl ester and linoleic acid was detectable in Flos Lonicerae but was undetectable in the drug pair; camphene, alpha-terpinene, perillaalcohol, 2-beta-pinene, beta-hexadecanal, phellandrene was de-tectable in Fructus Forsythiae but was undetectable in the drug pair; limonene, isolongifolene, nonadecane was detectable in the drug pair but was undetectable in the two single drugs. Conclusion The compatibility of the drug pair has an effect on components and contents in the volatile oil of Flos Lonicerae and Fructus Forsythiae.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To assay serum berberine in Puerariae and Scutellariae and Coptidis Decoction and coptidis rhi?zoma single decoction in dog and to analyze the effect of the compound recipe(whole recipe)on the physiological disposition of beberine.METHODS:Serum concentrations of berberine in dog were determined at different time by HPLC and the phar?macokinetic parameters were computed with WinNonlin software.RESULTS:The concentration-time curves of berberine in Puerariae and Scutellariae and Coptidis Decoction and coptidis rhizoma single decoction in vivo of dog conformed to one-compartment model,the main pharmacokinetic parameters of berberine in Puerariae and Scutellariae and Coptidis Decoction vs.in coptidis rhizoma single decoction were as follows,AUC (0-∞) (1.25?0.06)vs.(14.71?0.54)(?g?h)/ml,t max (1.92?0.31)vs.(3.03?0.07)h,C max (0.17?0.01)vs.(1.79?0.03)?g/ml.CONCLUSIONS:As compared with single-item recipe,the plasma concentration and bioavailability of berberine in the compound recipe of Puerariae and Scutellariae and Coptidis Decoc?tion were all lower.
ABSTRACT
Object To develop a high-performance capillary electrophoresis method to determine ferulic acid concentrations in serum of rats treated with Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BHD). Methods Capillary zone electrophoresis was applied for ferulic acid assay, quantitative determination was based on internal standard and detection was carried on by direct UV. The electrolyte buffer was composed of 25 mmol/L borax-methanol (85∶15). Capillary electrophoresis was performed using a 52 cm (30 cm to detector)?50 ?m fused-silica capillary tube. Separation voltage was 20 kV, sampling time was 3 s, detection wavelength was 320 nm, and the temperature was 30 ℃. Results Ferulic acid was successfully separated within 6 min, the recoveries were 97.2% in serum and 103.28% in BHD, respectively. RSD were 3.73% and 0.91% (n=3), respectively. Conclusion This method can supply reference for the determination of ferulic acid in serum samples and BHD.
