ABSTRACT
To establish a determination method for the contents of ammonium glycyrrhetate,nardosinone,and curcumin in transdermal receptor liquid of Baimai Ointment,and investigate the percutaneous permeability of Baimai Ointment and the effects of two kinds of penetration enhancers on percutaneous absorption of three components. The contents of ammonium glycyrrhetate,nardosinone,and curcumin in transdermal receptor liquid were determined by high pressure liquid chromatography( HPLC). The vertical modified Franz diffusion cell was used to perform a transdermal experiment in vitro with the abdominal skin of mice( treated and untreated). The transdermal receptor liquid was preferably used to investigate the transdermal absorption rule of the Baimai Ointment and the effect of the penetration enhancer. The results showed that the comprehensive solubility of PEG-ET-NS( 3 ∶3 ∶4) was best among three types of receptor liquid PG-ET-NS( 3 ∶3 ∶4),PEG-ET-NS( 3 ∶3 ∶4),ET-NS( 3 ∶7). PEG-ET-NS was used as the receptor liquid for in vitro transdermal experiments. The cumulative permeation area of ammonium glycyrrhetate,nardosinone and curcumin within 24 h was 5. 73,18. 99,0. 38 μg·cm~(-2)respectively. Taking QEFand ER as comprehensive evaluation indicators of permeation performance,the comprehensive penetration-promoting performance of ammonium glycyrrhizinate: 3% PEG 400-ethanol-normal saline ≈ 1. 19 times( 3%azone) = 1. 94 times( blank); comprehensive penetration-promoting performance of nardosinone: 3% PEG 400-ethanol-normal saline≈1. 28 times( 3% azone) = 1. 37 times( blank); the comprehensive penetration performance of curcumin: 3% PEG 400-ethanol-normal saline≈1. 77 times( 3% azone) ≈3. 42 times( blank). The comprehensive penetration enhancement properties of the two penetration enhancers were as follows: 3% PEG 400-ethanol-normal saline>3%azone>blank. The transdermal absorption curve of ammonium glycyrrhetate,nardosinone and curcumin in Baimai Ointment were consistent with the zero-order equation,indicating that the transdermal absorption process was irrelevant to the concentration of three components,and its was a diffusion process. This experiment provides reference for the study of ointment transdermal preparations.

Objective To establish a method for quality evaluation of Nardostachyos Radix et Rhizoma derived from Nardostachys jatamansi DC by determining the contents of nardosinone and establishing fingerprints. Methods HPLC fingerprint and content determination methods were established to evaluate ten batches of Nardostachyos Radix et Rhizoma from Nardostachys jatamansi DC.For the determination of nardosinone, the samples were separated by Phenomenex-C18 ( 4. 6 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm) with the mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and water at the flow rate of 0. 8 mL · min-1 , the detection wavelength was set at 250 nm,and column temperature was 25℃.The gradient mobile phase system was used for the fingerprints. Results HPLC fingerprint of Nardostachyos Radix et Rhizoma was established with good chromatography separation and repeatability, which could be used for quality control of Nardostachyos Radix et Rhizoma. After similarity analysis, the results showed that there was no significantly difference between the HPLC fingerprints of samples from different origins,but the content of four major peaks were different.The amount of nardosinone from ten batches of Nardostachyos Radix et Rhizoma was determined by HPLC-DAD, which showed that the contents of nardosinone from Nardostachys jatamansi DC were obviously different with each other. Conclusion The method is sensitive, repeatable and accurate. It can be used as a method of quality control for Nardostachyos Radix et Rhizoma.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the chemical constituents from the roots of Millettia speciosa (Leguminosae). Methods: Compounds in the 95% ethanol extract from the air-dried roots of M. speciosa were isolated by chromatography on silica gel column together with recrystallization, and their structures were identified by their physicochemical characteristics and spectral features. Results: Sixteen components were isolated from the air-dried roots of M. speciosa and identified as 7-oxo-β-sitosterol (1), aurantiamide acetate (2), shionone (3), maleic acid (4), psoralen (5), N-methylcytisine (6), lupeol caffeate (7), bisdemethoxycurcumin (8), vanillic acid (9), syringic acid (10), 6-methoxydihdyrosanguinarine (11), glycyrrhizic acid (12), (E)-3, 3'-dimethoxy-4, 4'-dihydroxystilbene (13), schisandrol B (14), 7-hydroxylathyrol (15), and nardosinone (16).
