ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE： To study the effects of ethyl acetate part form the ethanol extract of Periploca forrestii on cardiac function of isolated frog heart， and to primarily investigate its potential mechanism. METHODS： The isolated frog heart samples were prepared by using the intube method of steinmann. The Ren’s solution （blank control）， 1.70 mg/mL and 3.48 mg/mL ethyl acetate part from ethanol extract of P. forrestii were used to perfuse the sample. The BL-420 biological function experimental system was used to record the changes in heart rate and myocardial contractility. The effects of ethyl acetate part from ethanol extract of P. forrestii on cardiac function of isolated frog heart were investigated. After perfused with 10 mg/L atropine， 20 μL isoproterenol， 1 μL low calcium （per 1 000 mL pure water contain 0.06 g CaCl2）， high calcium Ren’s solution （per 1 000 mL pure water contain 0.24 g CaCl2）， adding 1.74 mg/mL ethyl acetate part from ethanol extract of P. forrestii， the changes of myocardial contractility in isolated hearts were recorded by BL-420 biological function experimental system. Myocardial tissue was collected after perfused with Ren’s solution （blank control） and ethyl acetate part from ethanol extract of P. forrestii with 1.74 and 3.48 mg/mL. The activity of Na+-K+-ATPase， Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase and AChE were detected to investigate the potential mechanism of the effects of ethyl acetate extract from ethanol extract of P. forrestii on cardiac function. RESULTS： Compared with blank control， mean myocardial contractility was significantly decreased （P＜0.001） after adding 1.74， 3.48 mg/mL ethyl acetate part form ethanol extract of P. forrestii， but had no significant on heart rate （P＞0.05）. With the increase of extracellular Ca2+ concentration， the inhibitory effect of ethyl acetate part from ethanol extract of P. forrestii on isolated frog heart contraction also increased gradually. After adding atropine and isoproterenol， the inhibitory effect of the ethyl acetate part form ethanol extract of P. forrestii on isolated frog heart contraction decreased to some certain. The activity of Na+-K+-ATPase in cardiac tissue was not significantly changed （P＞0.05）， the activity of Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase was significantly increased （P＜0.05）， and the activity of AChE was significantly decreased （P＜0.05） after perfused with 1.74， 3.48 mg/mL ethyl acetate part form ethanol extract of P. forrestii. CONCLUSIONS： The ethyl acetate part from the ethanol extract of P. forrestii can inhibit the contractile activity of the isolated frog heart and has a certain negative inotropic effect. The mechanism may be related to the increase of Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase activity， inhibition of AChE activity， blocking of calcium channel in the cell membrane， the activation of M receptor and blocking of β receptor.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To extract,isolate the triterpenes from the leaves of Olea europaea,then conduct structural identifica-tion,and provide reference for development and application of the leaves of O. europaea. METHODS:Silica gel column and other methods were used for elution,column chromatography and recrystallization of the ethyl acetate part of ethanol extracts from the leaves of Olea europaea. The structures of separated compounds were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance. RESULTS:6 com-pounds were isolated from ethyl acetate part of the leaves of O. europaea,identified as β-amyrin,erythrodiol,2α,3β-dihydrox-yl-12-ursen-28-acid (compound 3),oleanolic acid,camaldulenic acid (compound 5),3α-maslinic acid. Compound 3 and com-pound 5 were isolated from the leaves of O. europaea for the first time. CONCLUSIONS:The study has provided test basis for the further development and reasonable application of the leaves of O. europaea.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish the method for quality control of ethyl-acetate parts of Ferula sinkiangesis. Methods HPLC was used to detect the contents of ferulic acid, farnesiferol A and farnesiferol C. Waters XTerra RPC18 column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) was used; acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid was as mobile phase with gradient elution; flow rate was 1.0 mL/min; detective wavelength was 324 nm; temperature was 30℃; sample volume was 10 μL ResultsFerulic acid, farnesiferol A, and farnesiferol C showed a good linear relationship range from 0.05– 1.0 mg/mL, 0.132–2.64 mg/mL, and 0.118–2.36 mg/mL, respectively. The average recovery rates were 99.34%, 98.96% and 99.24% respectively. The contents of ferulic acid, farnesiferol A and farnesiferol C were 33.4, 76.5, 72.3 mg/g respectively.Conclusion The method was simple, accurate and repeatable, with good repeatability and stability, which can be used for the quality control of ethyl-acetate parts ofFerula sinkiangesis.
ABSTRACT
In this paper, the chemical composition of ethyl acetate parts of seed melon were studied by using ethanol re-flux method, extraction method, and isolated by column chromatography oversilica gel and Sephadex LH-20 and HPLC.
