ABSTRACT
AIM: To study the bioequivalence of piracetam tablets in Chinese healthy volunteers. METH-ODS: Twenty volunteers were randomly divided into two groups (test and reference), with double cross-over design and single-dose oral administration. The concentration of piracetam in serum was determined by HPLC. The main pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and the bioequivalence was evaluated with DAS2.0 practical pharmacokinetics program. RESULTS: The pharmacokinetic parameters of piracetam tablets were as follows: t1/2 were 5.50±1.48 and 4.29±1.00 h, Cmax were 21.47± 6.27 and 20.96±5.10 mg·L-1, Tmax were 0.70±0.46 and 0.66± 0.36 h, AUC0-24h were 93.44± 16.61 and 96.67± 18.50 mg·h·L- 1. The relative bioavailability of the test preparation was 99.8%± 22.7%. CONCLU-SION: The test and reference preparations were bioequivalent and may be prescribed interchangeably.
ABSTRACT
Object To establish a method for chemical pattern recognition on the quality assessment of Radix Astragali. Methods The contents of astragaloside in 18 samples of Astragalus Linn. in different species and origins were determinated by dual-wavelength TLCS method. The developing solvent was CHCl 3-MeOH-H 2O (65∶30∶10,), the UV detection was set at ? s=390 nm; ? R=590 nm. Astragaloside was regarded as the quality assurance of medicinal Radix Astragalus. Based on the TLCS method, the chemical data were obtained. Hierarchical clustering analyses were applied to the chemical pattern recognition. Results The content of astragaloside in Astragalus mongholicus (Bge.) Hsiao and A. membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge. was relatively higher than that in the other samples. This is consistent with the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China in which the two sorts of Astragalus Linn. were regarded as goods. Conclusion This method is a practicable in the quality assessment of Radix Astragali.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To develop an HPLC method for determining narigin,hesperidin and neohesperidin in Weili Tablet(Rhizoma Pinelliae,Radix et Rhizoma Gentianae,Fructus Aurantii immaturus etc. ). METHODS: The analysis was carried out with a Diamonsil C18(4. 6 mm ? 250 mm,5 ?m)column and the mobile phase of acetoni-trile-1% glacical acetic acid solution(19:81,v/v). The flow rate was 1. 0 mL/min and column temperature was 30 ℃. The detection wavelength was set at 283 nm. RESULTS: The calibration curve was linear within the range of 6. 0-60. 0 ?g/mL,2. 24-22. 4 ?g/mL and 10. 2-102. 0 ?g/mL for narigin,hesperidin and neohesperidin,respec-tively. The average recoveries were 100. 2% ,98. 8% and 97. 1% for narigin,hesperidine and neohesperidine,re-spectively. CONCLUSION: The method is reproducible,sensitive and accurate for determination of narigin,hes-peridin and neohesperidin in Weili Tablet.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To develop a HPLC method for determining scutellarin and geniposide in Yinshanlian Granules(Herba Artemisiae scopariae,Herba Scutellariae barbatae, Fructus Gardemiae,etc). METHODS: The analysis was performed on Diamonsil C_(18)(200 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) with mixture of acetonitrile(A) and 0.1% phosphoric acid solution as mobile phase in gradient mode.The concentration of solvent A were 5%,33%,5% and 5% at 0,30,31 and 35 min,respectively.The detection wavelength was set at 240 nm and the column temperature was at 30 ℃.(RESULTS:)The linear calibration curves were obtained in the concentration range of 0.032-0.288 mg/mL for scutellarin and 0.009 6-0.086 4 mg/mL for geniposide.The average recoveries of scutellarin and geniposide were 100.6%(RSD=0.80%,n=9),102.6%(RSD=1.1%,n=9),respectively.CONCLUSION: The method is quick,simple,and reproducible,which can be used to control the quality of Yinshanlian Granules.
