Résumé
This study was aimed to optimize the extraction process of Aesculi. The extraction process of Aesculi wasoptimized through orthogonal experiment while the transfer rate of escin Ia and escin Ib. And the yield of dry extract. wasadopted as marks. And ratio of solid to liquid, the ethanol concentration, extraction time and extraction temperature werestudies. The results showed that optimized extraction conditions of Aesculi were determined as follows. The ratio of solidto liquid was 1: 10, the ethanol concentration was 70％, extracted for 20 minutes ever stage and the extractiontemperature was 60℃. It was concluded that the extraction process is efficacious for general flavone and icariinextraction. The method is suitable for the standardized production technology of Aesculi.

Objective To establish a HPLC method for the determination of geniposide in Mengning Tablets and to investigate the thermal stability of geniposide. Methods The content of geniposide in Mengning Tablets was determined on a E- clipse XDB-C_(18) column with a mobile phase consisting of 0.2% triethylamine (containing 0.1% phosphate) and acetonitrile (85: 15) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL?min~(-1) and detected at a wavelength of 240 nm. The thermal stability of geniposide was investigated by hyperthermal accelerated test. Results A linearity was obtained from 0. 10 ?g to 0.52 ?g of geniposide (r=0.9997, n=5) and the recovery was 98.92%(n=5). The variation of geniposide in Mengning Tablets was in first-order reaction and the expiry date of the medicine at normal temperature was 2.83 years when geniposide content was used as criteria. Conclusion This is a fast method for the determination of the expiry date of a Chinese patent medicine and this method is useful infor the development of a new medicine.

AIM: To optimize the technical parameters of total arasaponin'S purification with macroporous resin. METHODS: Conditions for the elution were studies under the conditio n of the content of total arasaponin. RESULTS: The purity of total arasaponin was up to 83.3% after d riing the part of 70% ethanolic elution. CONCLUSION: The method was a good purification for total arasaponi n.
