A new HPLC/UV method has been developed for the simultaneous quantitative determination of four major components in Eucommiae cortex, namely geniposidic acid (1), geniposide (2), pinoresinol di-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), and liriodendrin (4). Simultaneous separations of these four components were achieved on a J'sphere ODS C(18) column (250 × 4.6 mm, 4 µm). The elution was done using water with 0.1% phosphoric acid (A) and acetonitrile with 0.1% phosphoric acid (B) in a two-step elution of the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and a wavelength of 230 nm. The method was validated for linearity, recovery, precision, accuracy, stability and robustness. All calibration curves showed good linear regression (r(2) > 0.999) within the test ranges. This method showed good recovery and reproducibility for the quantification of these four components in 85 species of Eucommiae cortex. The intra-day and inter-day precisions were lower than 0.53% (as a relative standard deviation, RSD) and accuracies between 93.00 and 106.28% for all standards. The results indicate that the established HPLC/UV method is suitable for quantitation and quality evaluation of Eucommiae cortex.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how components of Eucommiae cortex can help treat heart failure after a heart attack, using advanced network and molecular docking techniques to identify its active substances.
- Medioresinol, one such component, was shown to improve cell function damaged by low oxygen and glucose, showcasing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits in lab experiments.
- Key signaling pathways affected by Eucommiae cortex include PI3K/AKT/mTOR, which play important roles in heart function and stress responses, with molecular docking results indicating that selected compounds bind effectively to critical target proteins.

Consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD) has been implicated in cognitive deficits and gastrointestinal dysfunction in humans, with the gut microbiota emerging as a pivotal mediator of these diet-associated pathologies. The introduction of plant-based polysaccharides into the diet as a therapeutic strategy to alleviate such conditions is gaining attention. Nevertheless, the mechanistic paradigm by which polysaccharides modulate the gut microbiota remains largely undefined.
