A simple and sensitive HPLC method was developed for simultaneous determination of danshensu (DSS), rosmarinic acid (RA), lithospermic acid (LA), salvianolic acid B (SAB), and hyperoside (HP) in rat plasma. This method validated was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of the main active ingredients after oral administration ofRadix Salviae Miltiorrhizaeextract (SME), hawthorn extract (HTE), and a combination of both extracts (2.5 : 1) to rats. The results indicated that there have been great differences in pharmacokinetics between a single extract and a combination of both extracts. A combination of both extracts can enhance their bioavailabilities and delay the elimination of SAB and DSS in rats.

Abstract An HPLC-photodiode array detector (PDAD) method was developed for simultaneous determination of danshensu, salvianolic acid B, and paeonol in a traditional Chinese medicinal preparation ShuangDan oral liquid, which is widely used to treat coronary heart disease in China. The samples were separated on a SinoChrom ODS–BP C18 column with the column temperature maintained at 30°C. The mobile phase was composed of methanol and 2% (v/v) glacial acetic acid at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The separation was finished within 30 min using linear gradient elution. All calibration curves showed good linearity (r > 0.9997) within the test ranges. The method was simple, reliable, accurate, and specific. The intraday and interday precisions (RSD) were less than 0.85%. The recoveries were between 96.97 and 102.14%. The method was successfully applied to the determination of the three components in three commercial samples of ShuangDan oral liquid. The results indicated that the developed HPLC–PDAD assay could be readily utilized as a comprehensive quality control method for ShuangDan oral liquid.

Inhibition of β-site amyloid precursor protein-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) or glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) is estimated to be the central therapeutic approach for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In this study, water extract of Kangenkaryu, its crude drug and chemical composition used in oriental medicine were evaluated regarding their BACE1 and GSK-3β inhibitory activities.Fluorescence resonance energy transfer was used to characterize the BACE1 inhibitory effect of Kangen-karyu, its crude drug and chemical composition.GSK-3β activity was determined using the Kinase-Glo Luminescent Kinase Assay Platform. The water extract of Kangen-karyu inhibited BACE1 and GSK-3β in concentration-dependent manners when compared with reference drugs, quercetin and luteolin. Among six components of Kangen-karyu, the water extracts of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix or Cyperi Rhizoma exhibited significant inhibitory effects on BACE1 and GSK-3β. Among the constituents of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix extract, salvianolic acid C, salvianolic acid A, rosmarinic acid, and magnesium lithospermate B significantly inhibited BACE1. In addition, they inhibited GSK-3β with an IC50 value range of 6.97 to 135.35 μM. From these results, one of the effectiveness and its mechanisms of action of Kangen-karyu against AD may be the inhibition of BACE1 and GSK-3β, and one of the active ingredients of Kangen-karyu is Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix and its constituents.

Oxidative stress is considered one of the factors that cause dysfunction and damage of neurons, causing diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and Parkinson’s disease (PD).Recently, natural antioxidant sources have emerged as one of the main research areas for the discovery of potential neuroprotectants that can be used to treat neurological diseases. In this research, we assessed the neuroprotective effect of a 70% ethanol Salvia miltiorrhiza Radix (SMR) extract and five of its constituent compounds (tanshinone IIA, caffeic acid, salvianolic acid B, rosmarinic acid, and salvianic acid A) in HT-22 hippocampal cells. The experimental data showed that most samples were effective in attenuating the cytotoxicity caused by glutamate in HT-22 cells, except for rosmarinic acid and salvianolic acid B. Of the compounds tested, tanshinone IIA (TS-IIA) exerted the strongest effect in protecting HT-22 cells against glutamate neurotoxin. Treatment with 400 nM TS-IIA restored HT-22 cell viability almost completely. TS-IIA prevented glutamate-induced oxytosis by abating the accumulation of calcium influx, reactive oxygen species, and phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases. Moreover, TS-IIA inhibited glutamate-induced cytotoxicity by reducing the activation and phosphorylation of p53, as well as by stimulating Akt expression. This research suggested that TS-IIA is a potential neuroprotective component of SMR, with the ability to protect against neuronal cell death induced by excessive amounts of glutamate.
