A quantitative H-NMR method (H-qNMR) was developed to determine the concentration of acteoside and geniposidic acid in Plantaginis semen, which is an important crude drug for diuretic purposes. The purity of geniposidic acid and acteoside was determined by the ratio of the intensity of the H-3 signal at δ 7.51 ppm or the H-7″ signal at δ 7.58 ppm in methanol-d to that of a hexamethyldisilane (HMD) signal at 0.04 ppm, respectively. The concentration of HMD was corrected with the International System of Units traceability using potassium hydrogen phthalate of certified reference material grade. The geniposidic acid content in two batches of Plantaginis semen as determined by H-qNMR was found to be 0.84 and 1.00 %, and the acteoside content was determined to be 0.80 and 0.93 %. We demonstrated that this method is useful for the quantitative analysis of geniposidic acid and acteoside in Plantainis semen.

Article Synopsis
  • The TAp73 gene plays a crucial role as an anti-cancer gene and is important for male fertility; inhibiting this gene can lead to infertility in male mice.
  • This study aimed to assess how the drug-containing serum from Wuzi-Yanzong-Wan (WZYZW) affects cell junctions in Sertoli and germ cells grown together in a lab setting, especially when TAp73 is inhibited.
  • Results showed that WZYZW serum contains active compounds that can restore cell junctions and improve the expression of important proteins, demonstrating its potential to prevent cell junction defects in vitro by enhancing TAp73 levels.

Oxidative stress is a key factor that activates several transcription factors and mediators involved in the inflammatory pathways responsible for the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases. Targeting the expression of these mediators represents a promising approach to preventing these diseases. leaf infusion is traditionally used for treating conditions such as inflammation and pain relief.

Introduction: Fructus Gardeniae (ZZ), a traditional Chinese herb, has been used in treating patients with jaundice, inflammation, etc. When mixed with ginger juice and stir-baked, ginger juice-processed Fructus Gardeniae (JZZ) is produced, and the chemical compositions in ZZ would be changed by adding the ginger juice.

Objective: To illuminate the differential components between ZZ and JZZ.
