Objective: To establish a reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatorgraphy (RP-HPLC) method for detecting the dencichine in Panax notoginseng extracts and drug preparations.
Method: Dencichine was extracted with the borate buffer (pH 9. 18) and the clear supernatant was used for the derivatization. Pre-column derivatization was performed using 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC) to form derivatives. The mobile phase consisted of methanol and 0. 05 mol x L( -1) NaH2 PO4 (48: 52) (pH adjusted to 7.4 with NaOH solution) in a flow rate of 1.0 mL m min(-1). The ultraviolet (UV) detection wavelength was set at 262 nm.
Result: The linearity was demonstrated over a wide range of concentration from 1.76 mg L(-1) to 352 mg x L(-1) for dencichine. The detection limit was determined to be 60 microg x L(-1). The derivative was stable and the derivatization agent did not influence the measurement of dencichine. The average recovery rate was 95. 3% and the relative standard derivation (RSD) was 1. 7%. The method was used to determine dencichine in different P. notoginseng extracts and drug preparations.
Conclusion: This method is simple, fast and sensitive, suitable for determining the dencichine in P. notoginseng extracts and drug preparations as well as for the study of the dencichine metabolism in vivo.

Article Synopsis
- - An online antioxidant assay using HPLC-ABTS was developed to evaluate flavonoids' antioxidant properties in Astragali Radix (AR) while comparing traditional decoction pieces (TDP) to cell wall-broken decoction pieces (CDP).
- - The study found that CDP had about double the overall antioxidant capacity of TDP, with antioxidant levels from CDP being 1.9-5.1 times higher than those from TDP.
- - Three specific antioxidants (calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside, calycosin, and formononetin) were identified, and the method created offers a reliable way to assess AR quality based on antioxidant activity. *

Vascular calcification is a significant factor contributing to the rupture of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques, ultimately leading to cardiovascular disease. However, no effective treatments are currently available to slow the progression of vascular calcification. Notoginsenoside R1 (R1) and protocatechuic aldehyde (PCAD), primary active components extracted from Panax notoginseng and Salvia miltiorrhiza Burge, have shown potential in mitigating endothelial injury and atherosclerosis.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a member of the neurotrophin family, is deeply involved in the development and higher function of the nervous system, including learning and memory. By contrast, a reduction in BDNF levels is associated with various neurological disorders such as dementia and depression. Therefore, the inducers of Bdnf expression might be valuable in ameliorating or protecting against a decline in brain functions.
