RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the absorption mechanism of paeoniflorin in Radix Paeoniae Alba, both of Radix Paeoniae Alba and Radix Angelica Sinensis and Siwu Decoction. METHODS: The circulatory perfusion technique was used in this study, the concentrations of paeoniflorin and phenol red in intestinal absorption circulation were respectively determined by HPLC and UV. The effects of pH value, drug concentration, absorption site and P-gp on the absorption of paeoniflorin were investigated separately. RESULTS: By comparing the absorption of paeoniflorin in Radix Paeoniae Alba, both of Radix Paeoniae Alba and Radix Angelica Sinensis, and Siwu Decoction, it was found that in the sample solution at the same absorption site, pH value and concentration (based on the concentration of paeoniflorin), the absorption, Ka and cumulative absorption of paeoniflorin in compound Siwu decoction group were significantly increased compared with the other groups (P<0.05), while t1/2 was significantly decreased (P<0.05). When combined with the inhibitor and inducer of P-gp, the absorption of paeoniflorin showed significant increase or decrease in the amount of absorption, Ka and cumulative absorption% compared with the control group (P<0.05), and t1/2 also showed significant decrease or increase (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The absorption of paeoniflorin could be affected by P-gp, and under the same conditions, the absorption of paeoniflorin in complicated Chinese herbal formula is better than that in the single herb and herb-pair.

RESUMEN
Paeoniflorin is the main effective component of Paeoniae lactiflora and Paeonia suffruticosa. A large number of studies have proven that paeoniflorin has many pharmacological effects, such as anti-depression, anti-inflammation, analgesia, anti-tumor, liver protection, nerve protection, sedation and hypnosis, immunomodulation and so on. It has little toxic and side effects and has been highly concerned by people. At present, paeoniflorin is rarely used in clinical practice in the form of monomers. This article mainly refers to the related research literatures on paeoniflorin pharmacological action in recent three years, combs and summarizes the new progress of its pharmacological action research. The relationship between the drug effect and the prescription of traditional Chinese medicine was discussed, in order to provide a reference for further development and clinical application of paeoniflorin.

RESUMEN
This paper was aimed to explore the effects of glycosides, the effective component of Buyang Huanwu decoction, and its main active components such as astragaloside Ⅳ, amygdalin, peoniflorin and their combinations on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) proliferation, clarify the major active materials of anti-VSMC proliferation and investigate the mechanisms via the signal transduction pathway. Plasma containing drug was prepared via oral administration in rats. VSMCs of rats aorta were cultured, and then VSMC proliferation was stimulated by using platelet derived growth factor (PDGF).The plasma containing drug was added to detect the activity of cell proliferation, cell cycle and related protein expressions of signaling pathway such as extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), phos-phatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) and Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT). After being stimulated by PDGF, the proliferation activity of VSMC was strengthened (P<0.01), G₀/G₁ phase cells were decreased (P<0.01), S/M phase cells were increased (P<0.01), and PcNA, cyclin D1 protein expressions related to cell cycle were up-regulated (P<0.01). Glycosides, astragaloside Ⅳ, amygdalin, peoniflorin and their combinations could inhibit the cell proliferation (P<0.05 or P<0.01) in a dose-effect relationship and time-effect relationship. They could increase G₀/G₁ phase cells (P<0.01), decrease S/M phase cells (P<0.01), and down-regulate the protein expressions of PCNA, cyclin D1 (P<0.01); and the effects of the combinations were greater than those of single active component (P<0.05). After VSMC proliferation was induced by PDGF, p-ERK1/2 expression was increased (P<0.01), PI3K expression was down-regulated while p-PI3K expression was up-regulated (all P<0.01), and STAT3expression was reduced while p-STAT3 expression was increased (all P<0.01). Glycosides, astragaloside Ⅳ, amygdalin, peoniflorin and the combinations of these active components could reduce p-ERK1/2 expression (P<0.05), increase PI3K expression (P<0.01), decreasep-PI3K expression (P<0.05 or P<0.01), increase STAT3 expression (P<0.01), and decrease p-STAT3 expression (P<0.05 or P<0.01). These results suggested that PDGF could induce the cell cycle conversion of VSMC, leading to VSMC proliferation. The mechanism was related to the activation of ERK, PI3K/Akt and JAK/STAT signaling pathways. Glycosides and its main active components such as astragaloside Ⅳ, amygdalin, peoniflorin and their combinations can inhibit the cell cycle conversion of VSMC, with the effect against VSMC proliferation, and the mechanisms may be associated with the inhibition of PI3K/Akt, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and JAK/STAT signaling pathways. astragaloside Ⅳ, amygdalin and peoniflorin were the major active materials of anti-VSMC proliferation, and their combination showed enhanced effect.
