Cardiovascular effects of the aqueous extract of Gynostemma pentaphyllum Makino

In the present study, the cardiovascular activity of the aqueous extract of Gynostemma pentaphyllum Makino leaves was investigated in the anaestetized guinea-pigs and has been compared with two of its isolated gypenosides (III, VIII) and with verapamil, a well-known Ca-antagonistic drug. The results obtained showed that the intravenous administration of the decoction of G. pentaphyllum (2.5, 5 and 10mg/kg) produced a protective effect against pitressin-induced coronaryspasm, arrhythmias and pressor response. Extract also increased the dose of ouabain required to cause ventricular tachyarrhythmias and lethality. Further extract reversed ouabain-induced persistent ventricular tachycardia and restored sinus rhythm in a dose-dependent manner. The results obtained have also shown that gypenosides III and VIII caused similar protective effects in both experimental models used; however, the duration of the action is lower than that of the extract containing corresponding quantities of gypenosides III and VIII.

Morphological and structural characterization of a polysaccharide from Gynostemma pentaphyllum Makino and its anti-exercise fatigue activity

The crude polysaccharide was obtained from Gynostemma pentaphyllum Makino by water extraction followed by ethanol precipitation. The polysaccharide was successively purified by chromatography on DEAE-52 and SephadexG-150 column, and three polysaccharide fractions were obtained and termed GPP1-a, GPP2-b, and GPP3-a, respectively. The administration with GPP1-a markedly prolonged exhaustive exercise time of the mice. Structural features of GPP1-a were investigated by a combination of instrumental and chemical analyses, including atomic force microscope (AFM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), partial acid hydrolysis, periodate oxidation, Smith degradation, methylation analysis, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis and NMR spectroscopy. The results indicate that GPP1-a has a backbone of (1 → 4)-linked α-d-Glucose residues, which occasionally branches at O-6. The branches are mainly composed of (1 → 6)-linked α-d-Glucose, (1 → 3)-linked β-d-Galactose and (1 → 6)-linked α-d-Galactose residues, and terminated with β-d-Galactose residues and β-l-Arabinose residues.

本文在中试条件下,通过单因素试验和正交试验考察不同因素对绞股蓝皂苷提取得率的影响,从而探讨动态连续逆流提取绞股蓝皂苷的最佳工艺。结果表明:动态连续逆流提取绞股蓝皂苷最佳条件为:提取溶剂温度为80℃,料液比为1∶35(g/mL),提取时间为50 min。在此条件下,绞股蓝提取物平均提取得率为33.95%,皂苷得率为8.9%;动态连续逆流提取绞股蓝皂苷具有生产连续性好、皂苷提取得率高、产品纯度高等优点。     

土壤肥力对绞股蓝种群行为的影响

利用半控制实验生态学方法探讨土壤肥力对绞股蓝种群行为的影响。结果表明：土壤肥力的提高可显著提高繁殖器官生物量分配比,显著降低非繁殖器官生物量分配比,叶片、支持结构生物量分配随土壤肥力的提高略有降低;提高土壤肥力对绞股蓝种群形态特征和平均相对生长速率的影响不明显;多数繁殖特征对土壤肥力的提高有显著响应。总之,绞股蓝种群的不同行为对土壤肥力变化的敏感性各异
