Effect of β-cyclodextrin-assisted extraction on Cassiae Semen / 中成药

AIM To investigate the effect of β-cyclodextrin-assisted extraction on Cassiae Semen.METHODS The chemical constituents in aqueous extract and β-cyclodextrin extract determined and analyzed by UPLC and principal component analysis had their antioxidant activities tested by six methods (protective effects on lipid peroxidation injuries induced by spontaneous liver,CCl4,H2 O2,FeSO4-vitamin C,and scavenging effects on DPPH,hydroxyl free radicals).RESULTS Compared with aqueous extract,the component content and antioxidant activity of β-cyclodextrin extract were increased by 10.476％ and 80.88％,respectively.CONCLUSION β-Cyclodextrin can effectively enhance the component extraction rate and antioxidant activity of Cassiae Semen.
