Published: December 2004

From the polar portion of the methanol extract of thyme (leaf of Thymus vulgaris; Labiatae), which has been used as an important stomachic, carminative, a component of prepared cough tea, and a spice, seven monoterpenoid glycosides were isolated together with two known monoterpenoids and three known monoterpenoid glucosides. Structures of the seven monoterpenoid glycosides were determined by spectral analysis.

Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effects of Cornus officinalis iridoid glycosides (CIG) on rats with chronic renal failure (CRF).

Methods: CRF was induced in adult male Sprague Dawley rats by nephrectomy. The rats were randomly divided into six groups: sham, sham+high-dose CIG (120 mg/kg/d for 14 days), CRF, CRF+low-dose CIG (60 mg/kg/d for 14 days), CRF+high-dose CIG, and CRF+high-dose CIG+ML385 (an inhibitor of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), single administration at 30 mg/kg).

Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a chronic systemic bone metabolism disorder. Promotion in the patterns of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) differentiation towards osteoblasts contributes to alleviating osteoporosis. Aucubin, a natural compound isolated from the well-known herbal medicine Eucommia, was previously shown to possess various pharmacological effects.

Separation of polar compounds especially with similar polarities is challenging. In the present study, three polar compounds with similar polarities, including gentiopicroside, sweroside and mangiferin, have been successfully separated from Swertia mussotii by a combination of two counter-current chromatography modes. With the selected solvent system of ethyl acetate/n-butanol/water (8/2/10, v/v), a continuous injection mode was firstly employed.
