In this work an on-line monitoring method was developed to study the mechanism of acetic acid catalyzed reaction between aniline and acetonylacetone using extractive electorspray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (EESI-MS). The signals of reactants, intermediates and various byproducts were continuously detected as a function of reaction time. The chemical assignment of each signal was done via multi-stage collision induced dissociation (CID) analysis, and the reaction mechanism between aniline and acetonylacetone was deduced based on the generated molecular ions and fragment ions.

Objective: To determine the change pattern of alkaline and acid components of Dahuang and Huangbai amoung different combinations in Dahuang Xiaoshi decotion.

Method: The contents of anthraquinones and berberine were determined by HPLC in samples of Dahuang extracts, Huangbai extracts, Dahuang and Huangbai pair medicine extracts, and extracts of whole recipe.

Result: The contents of anthraquinones and berberine were decreased with the changes of combinations: from component medicinal material alone to pair medicines, and to whole recipe.

Objective: To determine the change pattern of alkaline and acid components of Dahuang and Fuzi in different combinations.

Method: The contents of anthraquinones and aconite alkaloids were determined by HPLC in samples of Dahuang extracts, Fuzi extracts, Dahuang and Fuzi pair medicines extracts, and extracts of whole recipe.

Result: As for Dahuang, the contents of anthraquinones were decreased with changes of combination: higher contents were in decoctions of Dahuang alone, lower contents were in decoctions of pair medicines, and the lowest contents were in decoctions of whole recipe.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze how the levels of alkaline and acid components in Fuzi and Gancao changed when combined in different ways in Sini Decotion.
  • The researchers used HPLC to measure the amounts of aconite alkaloids and glycyrrhizic acid in various extracts, including those of Fuzi, Gancao, both combined, and the complete recipe.
  • Results showed that the quantity of aconite alkaloids and glycyrrhizic acid decreased when moving from single medicines to combinations, with changes being more significant in water extracts for Fuzi and across all combinations for Gancao.
