Study on HPLC fingerprints of Zhuanggu Guanjie Pills / 国际中医中药杂志

Objective:To establish the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)fingerprints of Zhuanggu Guanjie Pills, which provided the basis for its quality evaluation.Methods:HPLC was used with Agilent Eclipse XDB-C 18 column (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm);mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.1% acetic acid water; gradient elution; flow rate was 1 ml/min; column temperature was at 35 ℃; detection wavelength was 254 nm; injection volume was 10 μl. The HPLC fingerprints of 15 batches of Zhuanggu Guanjie Pills were established and similarity analysis was carried out, and the contents of 18 components were estimated. Results:In the fingerprint study, isopsoralen was used as the reference peak, 40 common peaks were marked and 18 peaks were identified and the similarity between the fingerprints of 15 batches of Zhuanggu Guanjie Pills and the control fingerprints was greater than 0.99.Conclusion:This method is easy to operate and has high accuracy, which can provide basis and reference for the quality evaluation of Zhuanggu Guanjie Pills.

Effects and mechanism of zidovudine on glucolipid metabolic balance in mice / 中国药科大学学报

@#To study the effects of nucleoside antiviral drug zidovudine (AZT) on the flexibility of global metabolism and liver glucolipid metabolic balance in mice, male ICR mice were given zidovudine intragastric administration for 12 weeks, and their water and food intake was recorded daily.Serum glucose (GLU) and triglyceride (TG) levels and serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were detected after 12 weeks of administration.Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin tolerance test (ITT) were performed.HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of liver.The gene levels of glucose transporter (Glut2), carnitine palmitate transferase (Cpt1α), medium chain acyl-coa dehydrogenase (Mcad), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (Pepck) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6pase) were detected by RT-PCR.Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of insulin signaling Akt, P-Akt, Glut2, Mcad and Cpt1α in liver.The results showed that zidovudine significantly decreased lipid metabolism, impaired glucose tolerance, increased liver cell volume, significantly increased liver triglyceride (TG) and non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) content, increased Glut2 gene expression, down-regulated fatty acid oxidative metabolism genes Cpt1α, Mcad and gluconeogenesis related genes after fasting, and down-regulated protein expression of Cpt1α.The results suggest that zidovudine can induce the disorder of glucose and lipid metabolism after fasting in a dose-dependent manner.
