Objective: To Set up a method for determining the contents of the five flavonoids simultaneously in the HuangKui capsule and analyze their specific chromatograms.

Methods: HPLC method was used. The analytical column was Thermo scientific Hypersil GOLD (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm). The mobile phase was composed of acetonitrile (A) and 0.2% orthophosphoric acid (B) with gradient elution. The flow rate was 0.8 mL/min and detection wavelength was 360 nm. The column temperature was maintained at 30 degrees C.

Results: Contents of the five flavonoids (Rutin, Hyperoside, Isoquercitrin, Myricetin, Quercitrin) had good resolution with the correlation coefficients exceed 0.9999 and the average percent recovery lied in 98.46% to 100.33%. The chromatograms of the HuangKui capsule shared 15 common peaks in which 5 of them were recognized by the reference standard. Chromatograms of 10 lots of HuangKui capsule were analyzed with the similarities over 0.95.

Conclusion: The proposed method of contents determination and chromatogram analysis has strong characteristic and specificity. This method is fast, easy and reliable, and can be applied for quality control of the preparation.

Background: Psoriasis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory skin condition for which existing treatments often fall short of fully addressing patient needs. Abelmoschi Corolla (AC), a traditional Chinese medicine, and its ethanol extract, huangkui capsule, are well established for the treatment of chronic kidney diseases. The therapeutic mechanisms of AC include anti-inflammatory effects and immune modulation, which align with psoriasis treatment strategies.

Urinary protein, an important marker for early detection of kidney injury, would change in type and content dynamically with the degree of kidney injury due to the particle size and charge selectivity of the glomerular filtration system, making it significantly valuable for accurate classification and early diagnosis. In this study, we developed a fluorescence sensor (Ami-AuNP/DNAs) based on charge interaction to rapidly identify the progression of kidney injury. When the positively charged Ami-AuNP combines with negatively charged DNAs, fluorescence quenching occurs, and urine proteins that appear compete with the DNAs, leading to fluorescence recovery.
