ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the antidepressant effect of DS-1226, a hydrolysate of ginsenosides, on a mouse model of depression induced by chronic sleep interruption, and provide scientific evidence for the research and de?velopment of antidepressant drugs. Methods 72 male ICR mice were divided into control group, model group, positive control group (paroxetine hydrochloride, 10 mg/kg) and 3 treatment groups (20 mg/kg, 40 mg/kg, 80 mg/kg of DS?1226). Except the control group, the other mice were put into a rotary roller (parameter settings:1 min/rev;rest 2 min af?ter 1 rev) for 3 days of drum adaptation, 3 h/d. Then making model for 14 days in the roller( parameter settings:1 min/rev;rest 2 min after 1 rev) . The antidepressant effects of DS?1226 were evaluated by weight monitoring, open?field test, tail suspension test, and forced swimming test. Results After 14 d sleep disturbance, compared with the control group,the body weight, immobility time in tail suspension test and forced swimming test were significantly decreased in the model group. Compared with the model group, DS?1226(40 mg/kg)significantly reversed the weight loss caused by sleep disturb?ance. Paroxetine significantly reduced the immobility time of tail suspension test. DS?1226 (40 mg/kg, 80 mg/kg)signifi?cantly decreased the immobility time of tail suspension test, and DS?1226 (80 mg/kg) significantly decreased the immobil?ity time of forced swimming test. Conclusion The hydrolysate of ginsenosides DS?1226 shows antidepressant effect on mouse model of depression induced by chronic sleep interruption.
ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to quickly identify Chinese medicine Olibanum.Thermal analysis method was used on the quality analysis of Chinese materia medica (CMM).A total of 25 batches of Olibanum on the market were collected.This study examined three important factors of temperature range,heating rate,powder mesh on the TGA and DTA thermal analysis experiments.And a method of rapid authentication of medicinal materials using TGA and DTA feature maps was built.Methods of the first-order points,connection on thermogravimetric analysis and heat enthalpy calculation were adopted in the quantitative analysis of Olibanum.The results showed that the best condition of TGA and DTA experiment on Olibanum was confirmed.The temperature range is 50-750℃.The heating rate is 20℃· min-1.The powder mesh is 100 mesh.Under these conditions,good quality goods of Olibanum,counterfeit Olibanum and adulterants of Olibanum could be distinguished through the characteristic peak (T1=447 ± 5℃,T2=549 ± 5℃,T3=350 ± 5℃),thermogravimetric analysis (TV-max,△W2+△W3) and thermal enthalpy analysis (△H).It was concluded that the TGA-DTA technology was simple.It was thought to be a rapid,accurate and simple new method for Olibanum identification and quality analysis.
