Objective: Explore contribution of ratio of xylem to phloem(RXP) to evaluate the quality of Radix Isatidis.

Methods: Antivirus activity and chemical compositions of xylem, phloem and Radix Isatidis of different RXP were determined by RBC agglutination test and unique chromatogram. Meanwhile, correlation between RXP and bioactivity,components was investigated.

Results: the activity of medical material of Radix Isatidis whose RXP was 1:2 or 1:1 is equal to that of phloem sample, while is stronger than that of cylem sample. There was a good consistency among the chemical figureprints of three samples (Radix Isatidis, xylem and phloem). When the RXP was 2:1, the medical material of Radix Isatidi and its xylem had the same activity. But the activity of phloem was not obvious. Their consistency of chemical fingerprint was bad, and the activity of Radix Isatidis which had RXP of 1:2 or 1:1 was better than that formed by xylem and phloem of 2:1. The Radix Isatidis of RXP of 1:2 or 1:1 had less similarity of chemical figureprint with that having RXP of 2:1.

Conclusion: The quality of Radix Isatidis made up by the various RXP had significant difference. Radix Isatidis whose RXP is less than 1:1 had good quality and better activity. As a characteristic parameter of biologic morpha, the RXP can be applied to identifying the quality of Radix Isatidis, and also provided a reference to evaluation of other medical material of roots.

Natural drugs possess exceptional pharmacological properties, yet their development is often hindered by a lack of clarity regarding the mechanisms of their pharmacological actions. Building on our previous research, we employed a co-infection model with Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) to investigate the pharmacological action of Radix Isatidis Mixtures (RIM).

Article Synopsis
  • Fermented traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) like BanQi show potential as low-cost feed additives that can help reduce stress in young livestock, particularly during weaning.
  • The study revealed that fermented-BanQi (FBQ) contains higher levels of beneficial compounds, promotes growth in weaned lambs, and improves their overall health metrics, such as serum protein levels and gut morphology.
  • Additionally, FBQ enhanced the diversity of gut microbiota and favored the growth of beneficial bacteria, suggesting that fermentation can boost the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine in livestock diets.

Interstitial nephritis is the primary cause of mortality in IBV-infected chickens. Our previous research has demonstrated that Radix Isatidis polysaccharide (RIP) could alleviate this form of interstitial nephritis. To explore the mechanism, SPF chickens and chicken embryonic kidney cells (CEKs) were pre-treated with RIP and subsequently infected with QX-genotype IBV strain.

The pinoresinol-lariciresinol reductase (PLR), a crucial enzyme in the biosynthesis of lignans in plants, catalyzes a two-step reaction to produce lariciresinol and secoisolariciresinol. Lignans such as lariciresinol are the effective components of traditional Chinese medicine Radix Isatidis in exerting antiviral activity. In order to study the function of the key enzyme PLR in the biosynthesis of lariciresinol in , the original plant of Radix Isatidis, was cloned from , with a full length of 954 bp, encoding 317 amino acids.
