RESUMEN
Objective To apply high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) method in analyzing and identifying the main components in the ethanol extract of Choeros pondiatis fructus. Methods The ethanol extract of Choeros pondiatis fructus was prepared by the refluxing methods, and the main components in the extracts were separated by the gradient elution method with Agilent TC C18 column (250 mmX4. 6 mm, 5 μm), methanol-0. 2% formic acid as the mobile phase, at flow rate 0. 7 mL/min, column temperature 30°C, and sample volume 25 μL Mass spectrometry was applied for the qualitative analysis under the positive and negative ion modes and ESI ion source was used for mass spectra, Vcap 4. 0 kV, drying gas 10 L/min, gas temperature 350°C. and nebulizer 35 psi (1 psi=6 894. 8 Pa). The main chromatographic peaks were assigned by Q-TOF. Results Forty-lwo compounds were identified through direct comparison of both positive and negative ion mass data, the clement composition analysis, the data of the literature and the information from reference substances, including amino acids, organic acids, and flavonoids. Among them 17 constituents have been firstly found in Choerospondiatis fructus. Conclusion HPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS has the advantage of the efficient separation ability of HPLC and highly sensitive detection of MS, and is capable of making a qualitative analysis of the main components in Choerospondiatis fructus, which provides an evidence for study.
RESUMEN
Objective: To investigate the effect of total flavones from the leaves of Choerospondias axillaris (TFLCA) on the immune function of normal mice and to provide the experimental basis for the reasonable application of C. axillaris. Methods: The carbon clearance method, cutaneous delayed hypersensitivity reaction method, serum hemolysin method, and index of immune organs were used to study the effect of TFLCA on the immune function of mice. Results: TFLCA could enhance the phagocytic function of mononuclear macrophage and the cutaneous delayed hypersensitivity reaction of mice, and increase the content of hemolysin antibody and the thymus index in mice. Conclusion: TFLCA could improve the celiac macrophage activity and specific immunity of mice, and TFLCA, consisting with the total flavones of Choerospondiatis Fructus (TFCF), has the effect on the immune function of mice. So both TFLCA and TFCF have the regulatory effects on the immune function of mice. © 2013 Tianjin Press of Chinese Herbal Medicines.
RESUMEN
Objective: To establish a HPLC method for in vivo determination of gallic acid (GA) and protocatechuic acid (PA) in rat plasma, and to study the effect of Sandalwood on the pharmacokinetics of GA and PA. Methods: SD rats were given the water extracts of Choerospondiatis fruit or Choerospondiatis fruit and Sandalwood. The pharmacokinetic parameters of GA and PA were calculated by DAS2. 0 software at different time points after an oral ration of the above extracts. Results: The pharmacokinetic parameters after oral administration of Choerospondiatis fruit extract were as follows: GA: Cmax: (0.112±0.008) mg·L-1, CL/F: (0.132±0.016) L·min-1·kg-1, t1/2β: (69.3±0) min, Tmax: (45.0±0) min; PA: Cmax: (0.550±0.028) mg·L-1, Tmax: (52.0±0) min, t1/2β, (60.7±1.1) min; CL/F: (0.078±0.011) L·min-1·kg-1. The pharmacokinetic parameters after oral ration of Choerospondiatis fruit-Sandalwood extract were as follows: GA: Cmax: (0.187±0.010) mg·L-1, CL/F: (0.094±0.017) L·min-1·kg-1, t1/2β: (69.3±3.3) min, Tmax: (30.0±0) min; PA: Cmax: (1.080±0.066) mg·L-1, Tmax: (45.0±0) min, t1/2β: (69.3±0.2) min, CL/F: (0.011±0.001) L·min-1·kg-1. Conclusion: Oral ration of Choerospondiatis fruit-Sandalwood extract results in earlier plasma peaks of PA and GA, lower clearance rate, and longer half life, indicating Sandalwood can promote the absorption of phenolic compounds in Choerospondiatis fruit.
