ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To optimize the isolation and purification technology of active components of Senecio cannabifolius with macroporous adsorption resin. METHODS:The type of macroporous adsorption resin was selected with static adsorption using adsorption capacity and resolution rate of chlorogenic acid and hyperoside as index. The isolation and purification condition was op-timized with dynamic adsorption using the elution volume of chlorogenic acid and hyperoside as index,such as maximal sample size,rinse water quantity,volume fraction and collective volume of eluant ethanol. RESULTS:Among 7 kinds of resin,HPD100 had the best purification property;the optimal purification technology was as follows as mass concentration of sample 6 mg/ml,the speed of sample loading 2 ml/min,maximal sample size 3 times of column volume(BV), rinse water quantity of 2.5 BV,60%ethanol as eluting reagent. The contents of chlorogenic acid and hyperoside were increased from 0.90,0.18 mg/g to 7.26,1.04 mg/g after purification. RSD of each index were all ≤3.0%(n=3) in validation test. CONCLUSIONS:The isolation and purification technology of active components of S. cannabifolius with HPD100 macroporous adsorption resin is stable and effective.
ABSTRACT
Objective To preliminarily investigate the effect and possible mechanisms of Senecio cannabifolius Less. II (FHC- n) on perfluoroisobutylene (PFIB) inhalation-induced acute lung injury. Methods Totally 156 rats were randomly assigned to three groups: the control group， the PFIB group and the FHC- H prevention group， with 32， 62 and 62 rats in each group respectively. The FHC- II prevention group were given FHC- II three times per day at the dosage of 340 mg/kg before PFIB exposure. 1 h after the last time of FHC- h administration，the FHC- i prevention group were exposured to gaseous PFIB (0.2 mg/L) for 10 minutes in a static whole-body exposure inhalation system. The survival rate of the rats were recorded at 1，2，4，8，16，24，48 and 72 h post PFIB exposure; the lung index and total protein content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured at 1 h，2 h，4 h，8 h，16 h and 24 h; IL-1β and IL-8 in sera were assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at 1，2，4，8 and 16 h post PFIB exposure and the histopathological examination of the lung tissue was performed at 8 h post PFIB exposure. Results FHC-II significantly reduced the content of the total protein in BALF，lung index and the levels of IL-1β and IL-8 in aera as well， and dramatically alleviated the histopathological changes in the lung tissue. Conclusion FHC- D demonstrates some preventive effect on PFIB inhalation-induced acute lung injury in rats.

ABSTRACT
Senecio cannabifolius var integrilifolius (Compositae), locally known as "Fanhuncao" in China, is a folk herb used for the treatment of pneumonia, virus influenza and bronchitis. To investigate the chemical constituents of this herb, water extract of the aerial parts was subjected to various chromatography on normal/reversed phase silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column. Eleven compounds were obtained and identified on the basis of their physicochemical properties and spectroscopic analysis as senecine (1), p-hydroxy-benzeneacetic acid (2), protocatechuic acid (3), 2,5-dihydroxy-benzeneacetic acid (4), 3,4-dihydroxy-benzeneacetic acid (5), vanillic acid (6), caffic acid (7), succinic acid (8), 2-furoic acid (9), 1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-jacaranone (10), and 4-(pyrrolidin-2-one)-phenylacetic acid (11). Compound 1 was structurally identified to be a new compound;the other compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time.
