Statistical experimental design strategy (SES) was employed to optimize the culture conditions for the mycelial growth of C. militaris by submerged culture. Using Plackett-Burman design (PBD), liquid volumes in flask and fermentation time were identified as the significant variables that would highly influence mycelial growth, and these variables were subsequently optimized using response surface method (RSM). The steepest ascent method was used to access the optimal region of the culture condition. The results showed that the optimum values of the tested variables were 47.3 mL of liquid volumes in flask and 7.6 days of fermentation time. Under optimized culture conditions, the mycelial production was enhanced from 10.33 to 19.97 g/L. In comparison with that of original culture conditions, 1.9-fold increase was obtained. The validation experiment showed that the experimentally determined production values were in close agreement with the statistically predicted ones.

Objective: The anti-asthma herbal medicine Bu–Shen–Yi–Qi Decoction (BSYQ Decoction), a combination of three traditional Chinese medicine herbs developed in our lab, has shown demonstrated efficacy in Ovalbumin (OVA)-induced acute bronchial asthma. However, the obscure substances, multiple potential targets and the unclear molecular mechanisms are obstacles to control drug quality, stability and standardization. Multi-component formulae with a clear pharmacodynamic material and specific mechanism are an innovation worth exploring. They may also partly reserve a potential synergistic and additive effect compared with single components extracted from traditional Chinese herbs. This study was designed to select three standard multi-component formulae of the combination of effective components preliminarily based on four effective components [total flavonoids of Herba Epimedii ([Formula: see text]; Astragalus polysaccharide ([Formula: see text]; Astragaloside ([Formula: see text]; and Catalpol ([Formula: see text]] in BSYQ Decoction. Methods: OVA-induced asthmatic murine models were established. A uniform design was applied to select 10 proportions from four target components, and 3 formulae which showed best effect aimed at IFN-[Formula: see text], IL-4 and IgE in the serum respectively were screened based on stepwise regression analysis. Results: According to the regression analysis, Formula I ([Formula: see text]:[Formula: see text]:[Formula: see text]:6:29), Formula II ([Formula: see text]:[Formula: see text]:[Formula: see text]:8:2) and Formula III ([Formula: see text]:[Formula: see text]:[Formula: see text]:[Formula: see text]:50:8:2) are the three potential proper ratios for the new multi-component formula aimed at serum IFN-[Formula: see text], IL-4 and IgE in OVA-induced asthma mice, respectively. Conclusion: Three multi-component formulae derived from BSYQ Decoction could exert anti-inflammatory effect against OVA-induced asthma, which might provide evidences and lay foundations for further study of standard modern Chinese drug for treating asthma based on BSYQ Decoction.
