ABSTRACT
Objective To study the correlation of anti-osteoporosis effect of Hedysarum polybotrys and HPLC fingerprint. Methods Osteoporosis model was established through ovary resection of female rats to select the best part after performing ig administration with different extracts of H. polybotrys. The fingerprints of ethanol extract of ten batches of H. polybotrys from different habitats were established by HPLC. The partial least squares regression (PLSR) analysis was used to explore the correlation between peak areas of HPLC fingerprints and efficacy. Moreover, the effects of active ingredient of H. polybotrys on the function of osteoblasts were observed. Results The ethanol extract of H. polybotrys was the most effective part. Nine common peaks of the active fraction were selected. Adenosine, calycosin and ononin in ethanol extract of H. polybotrys have been identified separately, among which adenosine and calycosin were positively correlated with the pharmacodynamic data, and ononin was negatively correlated with the effect of drug. Additionally, calycosin can increase osteoblast ALP activity. Conclusion The results indicate that anti-osteoporosis effect of H. polybotrys is related to various components, among which adenosine and calycosin have a certain contribution to this effect, and calycosin can also stimulate the differentiation of osteoblasts in vitro.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the correlation of HPLC fingerprint of Hedysari Radix and efficacy of improving immunity of normal mice, and provide the basis for finding bioactive components and selecting the index composition of quality control. Methods: The mice delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) model induced by dinitoflruorobenzene (DNFB) was used to study the effect and then to perform ig administration with different extracts of Hedysari Radix for selecting the best part. To study the correlation between fingerprint and efficacy and find out the effective substances foundation of improving immunity, the peak area of each common peak from HPLC fingerprint was associated with the date of improving immunity in the method of partial least square regression (PLS). Results: In ear swelling experiment, water extract of Hedysari Radix was the most effective part which could improve the immunity function. PLS was used to evaluate the correlation of effect of improving immunity and components of the water extract including adenosine, ononin, genistein, formononeti, and medicarpin, the index of compounds to characterize the quality of Hedysari Radix, showed the negative correlation with the effectiveness. Conclusion: A new method is established to evaluate the activity of enhancing immunity of Hedysari Radix. It is of practical significance as an effective approach for controlling quality and exploring the material basis for efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine compounds.
ABSTRACT
Thearticle is aimed to find the correlation between bioactive components of XYE-E and the antidepressant efficacy, by analyzing the immovability time in tail suspension test (TST) and forced swimming test (FST). Using the method of gray relational analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis, relating the peak area of each common peak of1H-NMR spectra with the immovability time in TST or FST, we found that there were total 14 chemical components identified in the1H-NMR spectrum of XYE-E. Among them, 8 compounds, including saikosaponin a, saikosaponin c, saikosaponin E, saikosaponin F, saikosaponin G, saikosaponin b2, atractylenolide I and atractylenolide II, had significant correlation with antidepressant efficacy.
