Metabonomic phenotype of "formula corresponding to pattern types" based on "qi and yin deficiency pattern" of myocardial ischemia rat model / 药学学报

In order to explore the scientific connotation of "Fangzhengduiying (formula corresponding to pattern types)", "Qiyinliangxuzheng (Qi and Yin deficiency pattern)" of myocardial ischemia rat model and GC-TOF/MS based metabonomic method were used for comparing the effects of Sheng-mai injection, Salvia injection and propranolol in the present study. After data processing and pattern recognition, Sheng-mai injection showed better efficacy than the other two drugs in accordance with not only visual observation from PLS-DA scores plots but also the number of abnormal endogenous compounds restored to the normal level. Further studies showed that Sheng-mai injection could normalize the level of plasma endothelin-1, the index related to cardiovascular diseases and sleep disorders, which verified the results of metabonomics. Finally, the regulated metabolites and related metabolic pathways were analyzed, and it was supposed that the effects of Sheng-mai injection involved in the alternation of energy metabolism, lipid metabolism, amino acids metabolism, and so on. These findings provided scientific evidence to Shengmai "Fang" used for "Qi and Yin deficiency pattern" correspondingly, indicating that metabonomics has great potential in traditional Chinese medical research, which provides a novel approach and way to modernization of traditional Chinese medicine.

Pharmacokinetics of Balofloxacin Tablets in Chinese Healthy Volunteers / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To study the pharmacokinetics of balofloxacin tablets in Chinese healthy volunteers.METHODS:A single dose of 100 or 200 mg balofloxacin tablets were given to 12 healthy volunteers in a randomized crossover design.Concentrations of balofloxacin in plasma and urine were determined by HPLC with data processed by DAS(drug and statistics)software.RESULTS:After administration of balofloxacin 100 mg and 200 mg,the Cmax were(0.970?0.245)?g?mL-1 and(1.849?0.466)?g?mL-1;the tmax were(1.25?1.10)h and(1.24?0.81)h;the t1/2 were(7.14?1.01)h and(7.11?0.72)h;the AUC0～36 were(7.309?1.368)?g?h?mL-1 and(15.214?1.727)?g?h?mL-1;AUC0～∞ were(7.531?1.386)?g?h?mL-1 and(15.695?1.762)?g?h?mL-1;the accumulative eliminating rates within 36 h in urine were(64.47?11.56)% and(63.24?11.93)%,respectively.CONCLUSION:The pharmacokinetics of balofloxacin in healthy volunteer after oral administration was characterized by high peak concentration and long half life.The method is sensitive,accurate,reliable and specific,and can satisfy the requirements for pharmaceutical study.
