The experimental conditions were as follows: Ultrasphere ODS column (250 mm 4.6 mm, 5 mm), mobile phase: acetonitrile-water (containing 1.0% acetic acid) (20:8050:50) (20 min), flow-rate 1 mLmin-1, room temperature, detection wavelength 278 nm. Twenty-eight samples of Xuan-shen (Radix Scrophulariae) from different districts of China were analyzed and the contents of harpagoside and cinnamic acid in Xuan-shen were 0.041~0.244% and 0.012~0.068% respectively. The recoveries (RSD)% were 97.13(0.80)% for harpagoside and 99.38(0.51)% for cinnamic acid. The method is simple and accurate. It can be used for the quality control of Radix Scrophulariae. We propose that the content of harpagoside in qualified Radix Scrophularia should be no less than 0.05%.展开更多

SnS-2 was purified by means of gel-permeation chromatography and ion-exchange chromatography. Its physico-chemical properties, including carbohydrate content and molecular weight were determined. The structure of SnS-2 was elucidated by chemical methods along with 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, including two-dimensional DQCOSY and H-detected 1H, 13C HMQC experiments. These results show that SnS-2 possesses a backbone con-sisting of terminal a-Galp-(1, a-Galp-(16), a-Glcp-(16) and nonreducing end -Fruf-(2. The bioactive as-say showed that it could inhibit the growth of Lewis pulmonary carcinoma implanted in mice.展开更多
