Hypericin content of methanolic extracts of dried flowers, leaves, stems, and roots of Hypericum triquetrifolium (Turra) were determined by HPLC. Conversion of protohypericin to hypericin was achieved by exposing samples to light for 30 min immediately before HPLC analysis. External standard calibration was used to quantify hypericin. Leaves showed the highest hypericin content of 0.36% w/w. Total aerial parts contained 0.43% w/w of hypericin. The relatively high hypericin content of the H. triquetrifolium in this study encourages the introduction, cultivation, and biological evaluation of hypericum specie in Jordan.

This research aims to evaluate the phenolic composition, antioxidant and enzyme inhibition activities of fermented Rubus chingii Hu wine, and explore the correlation between them. TPC (Total Phenolic content) and TFC (Total Flavonoid content) increased rapidly from 0 h to 72 h, followed by a slight decrease in TPC and a significant decrease in TFC. Fermentation could significantly increase the antioxidant activity and α-amylase/α-glucosidase enzyme inhibitory activity of Rubus chingii Hu.

In this study, a novel drug delivery system (MSN-PEG-Hypericin) was successfully fabricated using tetraethyl orthosilicate and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane as raw materials, and the PEGylation of the prepared aminated mesoporous silica and grafting of hypericin onto the carrier were further conducted to obtain MSN-PEG-Hypericin. The successful preparation of MSN-PEG-Hypericin was characterized by several physical-chemical techniques. Furthermore, the MSN-PEG-Hypericin system increased the ability of hypericin to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) .

Article Synopsis
- The study developed a quantitative analysis method called QAMS to evaluate 13 chemical components in Epimedii Folium, including icariin and various acids.
- The external standard method was used to measure these components' content, with icariin serving as an internal standard for establishing relative correction factors.
- Results showed that QAMS accurately and reliably determined the chemical composition of Epimedii Folium with minimal differences between calculated and measured values.
