In east Asia, “Baishouwu” has been used as an herbal drug and functional dietary supplement for hundreds of years. Actually, “Baishouwu” is the common name of the roots of Cynanchum auriculatum , Cynanchum bungei , and Cynanchum wilfordii . In the present study, roots of these three specie were extracted and then fractionated using petroleum ether (PE), dichloromethane (DCM), ethyl acetate (EA), and water. DPPH scavenging experiments revealed high antioxidant activity of DCM and EA fractions of C. bungei and the EA fraction of C. wilfordii . Treatments with these three fractions significantly reduced malondialdehyde content in heat‐stressed Daphnia magna , validating in vivo antioxidant activity. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometer (GC‐MS) analyses demonstrated that the chemical components of fractions extracted from C. bungei , C. bungei , and C. wilfordii were different. Further determination of total phenol and total flavonoids contents showed that DCM and EA fractions of C. bungei and EA fraction of C. wilfordii had much higher contents of total phenol and total flavonoids, which might be the reason to explain their strong antioxidant activity. Overall, the present study suggested that these three plants have different chemical components and biological activities. They could not be used as the same drug.
Liquid-liquid extraction / α-benzoinoxime / Molybdenum / Tungsten / SeaborgiumSummary. The liquid-liquid extraction behavior of shortlived molybdenum and tungsten isotopes from HCl and HNO 3 as well as HF/HNO 3 acid media was studied using the α-benzoinoxime/chloroform system. The goal of the present experiments was to find an extraction system with a high selectivity for the group 6 elements in the periodic table which is suitable for the study the solution chemistry of seaborgium (Z = 106). It was found that Mo and W are both effectively extracted using α-benzoinoxime as an extractant and the maximum extraction yield is 100% and 94% for Mo and W, respectively. Ions of MO 2 2+ (M = Mo, W) exist in HCl between the concentration range of 0.1-3 M and can be extracted quantitatively into the organic phase. The decrease of extraction yields at lower or higher acid concentration is due to the formation of anionic species MO 4 2− or MO 2 Cl 3 − . The extraction behavior of Mo and W in HNO 3 solution is similar to that in HCl solution. In HNO 3 /HF mixed acid solutions, due to the formation of MO 2 F 3 − a decrease of extraction yield at higher HF concentration, similar to the case of HCl is observed. The extraction equilibrium is reached within 10-30 s, which means the extraction kinetics of α-benzoinoxime/chloroform extraction system is fast enough for the study of the isotope 265 Sg. The extraction behavior of molybdenum and tungsten shows a distinct difference in the range of 0.05 to 0.2 M HF with 1 M HNO 3 . This shows that differences in the complexation with fluoride ion exist in Mo and W. This study focuses on the investigation of the tendency of group 6 element for complexation with fluoride ion.
Gandoerma lucidum is equipped with several kinds of bioactivity, and is considered as a very important medicinal ingredient of regimen and health care for Chinese medicine. This study has employed supercritical fluid extraction and fractionation device to continuously prepare ganoderic acid and phenolic compounds of ganoderma lucidum, and experiment design is conducted in coping with diverse pressure, temperature, and flow rate as experiments variables to conduct experiment design. Thus supercritical extraction is being employed to collect and extract different materials from sections, so that optimized trend of terms and conditions can be used to predict the test. As shown from the results, if lower temperature as 40°C and high pressure 30 MPa are chosen, working in conjunction with flow rate of low sample 3 ml/min, it can reach the optimized effect of purification with regarding to ganoderic acid and phenolic compounds. If the concentration of fractionation liquid stays at 1.0 g/L, its power of scavenging will be F1(60%)>F2(50%)>F3(30%)>R(28%), whereas half of the inhibition concentration will respectively be R(2.67 g/L)>F3(2.29 g/L)>F2(0.97 g/L)>F1(0.76 g/L), and the antioxidant capacity of F1 fractionation liquid is considered the best.
