Résumé
OBJECTIVE：To compare the difference in the antioxid ant effect of fresh Rehmannia glutinosa ，dried R. glutinosa ， R. glutinosa preparata during ancient characteristic processing and its polysaccharides before and after processing on aging model rats，and to provide reference for the processing of R. glutinosa . METHODS ：The sample of R. glutinosa preparata was prepared according to ancient characteristic method. During the processing ，the fresh and dried R. glutinosa samples were retained. Then crude polysaccharide were extracted from fresh R. glutinosa and Rehmanniae radix preparata by water extraction and alcohol precipitation. Totally 96 rats were divided into blank group （water），model group （water），positive control group [vitamine C ，100 mg/（kg·d）]，fresh R. glutinosa group [ 700 mg/（kg·d）]，dried R. glutinosa group [ 135 mg/（kg·d）] ，Rehmanniae radix preparata group [ 135 mg/（kg·d）]，fresh R. glutinosa polysaccharide group [ 1 400 mg/（kg·d），by the weight of fresh R. glutinosa ] and Rehmanniae radix preparata polysaccharide group mg/（kg·d），by the weight of Rehmanniae radix preparata] ， with 12 rats in each group. Except for blank group ，other 制。E-mail：zhouyan1221@163.com groups were given D-galactose [ 125 mg/（kg·d）] on neck and back to induce sub-acute aging model. At the same time ，they were given relevant medicine in tragastrically，once a day ，for consecutive 56 days. After last admin istration，the liver ，brain，kidney，spleen，heart and thymus indexes were determined. The total antioxidant capacity （T-AOC），superoxide dismutase （SOD）activity，catalase（CAT）activity and MDA content in serum ， liver，brain and kidney were determined. RESULTS ：Compared with blank group ，organ indexes of rats in the model group were decreased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）；T-AOC，SOD activity and CAT activity in serum ，brain，liver and kidney tissue were decreased significantly （P＜0.01），while MDA content increased significantly （P＜0.01）. Compared with model group ，the organ indexes of brain ，liver and kidney ，SOD activity in serum and kidney of fresh R. glutinosa group were not significantly increased （P＞0.05）；kidney index ，T-AOC in serum and brain ，SOD activity in serum ，liver and kidney tissue were not significantly increased in the dried R. glutinosa group（P＞0.05）；kidney index ，T-AOC in serum and cerebral tissue ，SOD activity in serum were not significantly increased in fresh R. glutinosa group（P＞0.05）；other organ indexes ，T-AOC，SOD activity and CAT activity in serum and tissues were increased significantly in other groups （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01），while MDA content in serum and tissues were decreased significantly in all administration groups （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with fresh R. glutinosa group，T-AOC in serum was decreased significantly in dried R. glutinosa group（P＜0.01），and there was no significant difference in other indexes （P＞0.05）；kidney and spleen indexes of rats in Rehmanniae radix preparata group were increased significantly （P＜0.05），T-AOC in renal tissue ，SOD activity in serum ，cerebral tissue and renal tissue ，CAT activity in cerebral and liver tissue were increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01），while MDA in cerebral and liver tissue were significantly decreased （P＜ 0.01）. CAT in cerebral tissue and liver tissue of rats in Rehmanniae radix preparata group were significantly higher than those in positive control group （P＜0.01）. Compared with fresh R. glutinosa polysaccharide group ，spleen and renal indexes of rats in Rehmanniae radix preparata group were increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01），T-AOC，SOD activity and CAT activity in serum and cerebral ，liver，renal tissues were increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. T-AOC and CAT activity of cerebral ， liver and renal tissues in Rehmanniae radix preparata group were all significantly higher than those in positive control group （P＜ 0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS ：In the aspect of increasing organ index and improving the activity of antioxidant enzymes in serum，cerebral，liver and
Résumé
The chemical constituents of Rehmanniae Radix Preparatawere prepared according to the traditional method of "jiu zheng jiu shai" and investigated using multiple chromatographic methods. Six alkaloids were isolated and their structures were elucidated from spectral data and physicochemical properties, as follows: rehmanniae alkaloid A (4-{[(5-O-á-D-galactopyranosyloxy)methyl]-1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde-1-yl}butyric acidmethyl ester) (1), baimantuoluoamide B (2), capparisine C (3), harman-3-carboxylic acid (4), (2S)-1-[2-(furan-2-yl)-2-oxoethyl]-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylate (5), and 1-[2-(furan-2-yl)-2-oxoethyl]pyrrolidin-2-one (6). Among them, compound 1 is a new alkaloid. Compounds 2-6 were newly isolated from Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch.The effect of compounds 1-6 on NRK-52e cell injury induced by LPS was investigated. The results show that compounds 1-3 exhibit protective effects against LPS-induced damage to NRK-52e cells.
Résumé
This paper is based on the literature of the last ten years by summarizing and analyzing the progress in the study of Rehmanniae Radix, focusing on the research progress are reviewed at the dynamic changes of the main Chemical indicators of Rehmanniae Radix Preparata, objective expression of four kinds of processed products (Steamed, steamed with wine, wine stew, ancient law (steamed for nine times and shined for nine times) ) and the objective expression of four kinds of processed products and the change of the pharmacological effects.There are many objective expression methods for processing end points of different processed products of Rehmanniae Radix Preparata, But processing are unclear until now. Innovative research on standardized unification and new research ideas are needed.
Résumé
AIM To study the effects of Rehmanniae Radix Preparata (A) and Poria (B) on decoction amounts of loganin,morroniside and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in Corni Fructus (C).METHODS These three medicinal materials were combined one another and divided into seven groups (A,B,C,A + B,A + C,B + C and A + B + C).Then the contents of three constituents were determined by HPLC.RESULTS Compared with the single decoction of Corni Fructus,the decoction amounts of loganin and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural were decreased,and that of morroniside was increased at the time of mixed decoction of Rehmanniae Radix Preparata and Corni Fructus,or Rehmanniae Radix Preparata,Poria and Corni Fructus.This situation was just the contrary at the time of mixed decoction of Poria and Corni Fructus.CONCLUSION The mixed decoction of Corni Fructus,Rehmanniae Radix Preparata and Poria increases the decoction amount of morroniside,which may make mixed decoction liquid show better efficacy.
Résumé
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the decoction amount changes of verbascoside,gallic acid in single decoction and com-bined decoction of rehmanniae radix preparata,corni fructus and poria,and provide scientific basis for further study of effective substance basis. METHODS:The single decoction,combined decoction with each 2 medicine and combined decoction with the 3 medicines of rehmanniae radix preparata,corni fructus and poria,were respectively prepared. HPLC was adopted to detect and com-pare the decoction amount of active component verbascoside in rehmanniae radix preparata and active component gallic acid in cor-ni fructus in each group. RESULTS:Compared with single decoction of rehmanniae radix preparata,the decoction amount of ver-bascoside was decreased in combined decoction of poria+rehmanniae radix preparata(P<0.01),decoction amount of verbascoside was increased in combined decoction of corni fructus+rehmanniae radix preparata or combined decoction with the 3 medicines(P<0.01). Compared with single decoction of corni fructus,the decoction amount of gallic acid in each combined decoction was de-creased (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:The combined decoction of rehmanniae radix preparata,corni fructus and poria has certain promotion and inhibition effects on the decoction of verbascoside in rehmanniae radix preparata and inhibition effect on the decoc-tion of gallic acid in corni fructus. It is speculated verbascoside may be one of the main components in combined decoction playing the role of effectiveness.
