Analysis of Similarities of Different Species of Boenninghausenia Plants by Common and Variant Peak Ratios Dual Indicator Sequence Method

[Objectives] To analyze the similarities of Boenninghausenia sessilicarpa Levl. and Boenninghausenia albiflora(Hook.) Meiss by the common and variant peak ratio dual indicator sequence method. [Methods] Four different solvents(petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol) were used to extract the chemical components of different polar regions of B. sessilicarpa and B. albiflora. UV-visible spectrophotometry(second derivative method) was used to collect the fingerprints of different solvent extracts, and common and variant peak peak ratios were analyzed for the absorption peak data. [Results] The common peak ratio and variant peak ratio data of ground parts of B. albiflora and B. sessilicarpa was S2∶S5(46.2(54.2, 62.5)), compared with the data of other groups, the common peak ratio was the largest, thus the components of ground parts of B. albiflora and B. sessilicarpa were closest and had the largest similarities; the common peak ratio and variant peak ratio data of the components extracted by chloroform from B. albiflora and B. sessilicarpa was Y2∶Y6(54.2(38.5, 46.2)), compared with the data of other groups, the variant peak ratio was the smallest, thus, the chemical components near the chloroform polarity of two kinds of medicinal materials had the largest similarities and smallest differences. [Conclusions] This method is simple and easy to operate, and the ultraviolet fingerprint data of four different polar organic solvent extracts are used for comprehensive analysis, and the results have high specificity and high accuracy. Besides, there are certain similarities and also differences between the chemical components of B. sessilicarpa and B. albiflora. It is expected to provide a new evaluation method for the variety quality of B. sessilicarpa and B. albiflora.

臭节草化学成分预试及生物碱成分薄层色谱分析

臭节草是滇西南地区民间常用药物,为了解其所含的化学成分,采用植物化学成分系统预试法,初步测定其主要化学成分,结果表明:臭节草主要含有生物碱、甙类、黄酮、还原糖、多糖等多种化学成分。其中以生物碱和糖类(还原糖和多糖)的反应最为明显,用氨水和氯仿分别提取臭节草地上部分和地下部分的生物碱,得生物碱氯仿萃取部分0.0921g和0.0784g。采用薄层色谱技术分析臭节草生物碱的种类,采用4种展开剂展开,改良碘化铋钾显色,在365nm出检测显色斑块,只有以氯仿-丙酮-氨水(50:20:0.3)为展开系统中可看到明显的荧光点,其余三种均未观察到荧光点,其中地上部分有6个荧光点(Rf值分别为0.41,0.60,0.62,0.69,0.74和0.89),地下部分有4个荧光点(Rf值为0.39,0.54,0.68,0.96)。

Inhibitiont of Obazema on Proliferation of Gastric Cancer BGC-823 Cells and Its Mechanism

[Objectives]This study aimed to investigate the inhibiting effect of Obazema on proliferation of gastric cancer BGC-823 cells and its mechanism.[Methods]BGC-823 cells were treated with high,medium and low concentrations of drug-containing serum(0.316%,0.158%and 0.079%)for 0,48,72 and 96 h,respectively.Then,the proliferation of the cells was detected with CCK-8 method,and the expression of related proteins,B lymphocytoma-2(Bcl-2),phosphorylated protein kinase B(p-Akt),protein kinase B(Akt)and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase(GAPDH),was detected using Western blotting.[Results]The proliferation of the BGC-823 cells was significantly inhibited with different doses of Boenninghausenia albiflora(Hook.)Reichb.ex Meisn.var.albiflora(CH)and B.sessilicarpa Lévl.(S)(P<0.01),in dose-dependent and time-dependent manners.The inhibition of high-dose S on cell proliferation was similar to that of CTX 48 h after administration;the inhibition of high-dose CH on cell proliferation was significantly stronger than that of CTX(P<0.01);different doses of drug administration groups significantly inhibited the expression of p-Akt and Bcl-2 in the BGC-823 cells;the inhibition of high-dose CH on the expression of P-Akt and Bcl-2 and the inhibition of medium-dose CH on the expression of Bcl-2 were significantly stronger than that of CTX(P<0.05,P<0.01),in a certain dose-dependent manner;at the same dose,the inhibition of CH on the expression of the proteins was stronger than that of S(P<0.05,P<0.01);administration of S and CH significantly inhibited the expression of GAPDH compared with CTX(P<0.05,P<0.01).[Conclusions]Obazema has the capacity to inhibit the proliferation of BGC-823 cells.The mechanism may be achieved by inhibiting the expression of p-Akt and Bcl-2,and GAPDH may be the target gene of its anti-tumor mechanism.The inhibiting effect of CH on BGC-823 cells was more significantly than that of S.

Study on Infrared Fingerprints of Different Sources of Yi Medicine Ebazema

[Objectives] To establish infrared fingerprints of different parts of Boenninghausenia albiflora(Hook.) Reichb.ex Meissn. and Boenninghausenia sessilicarpa Levl.(two sources of Yi medicine Ebazema) and analyze the similarity between them. [Methods] The infrared fingerprints of powder of B. albiflora(Hook.) Reichb.ex Meissn. and B. sessilicarpa Levl. were measured, and the common peak rate and variation peak rate of six samples were calculated to establish the sequence analysis method of common peak rate. [Results] There was a very high common peak rate(≥81.3%) and a very low variation peak rate(≤15.4%) between S1 and S4 as well as S2 and S6. There was a low common peak rate between S1 and S3 as well as S3 and S4, and the common peak rate was 42.9% and 47.6% respectively. There was a low common peak rate(≤47.6%) and a high variation peak rate(≥100.0%) between S1 and S3 as well as S3 and S4. [Conclusions] The method is simple and convenient to operate, can quickly identify different parts used as medicine of B. albiflora(Hook.) Reichb.ex Meissn. and B. sessilicarpa Levl.(two sources of Yi medicine Ebazema), and provide a new method to judge whether the two are equivalent when being used as medicine and quality evaluation.
