quality-control

Wilforlide A (T1) serves as a quality control standard of Tripterygium Glycosides that be listed in Drug Standard of Ministry of Public Health of the People's Republic of China. T1 has anti-inflammatory effects.

Ganoderic acid B is a chemical marker in quality control of G. lucidum and related products. Ganoderic acid B-containing herbs has potential influence towards therapeutic window of trifluoperazine.Ganoderic acid B has antinociceptive effect

1. Alisol A 24-acetate (Alisol A monoacetate) has been determined for the quality control of this crude drug.

1-Methyl-2-undecyl-4(1H)-quinolone, along with dihydroevocarpine and evodiamine, should serve as chemical markers for the quality control of Evodia rutaecarpa (Juss.) Benth. This compound selectively inhibits type B MAO (MAO-B) activity with an IC(50) value of 15.3 microM using the substrate kynuramine, while not inhibiting type A MAO (MAO-A) activity. It can mitigate high phosphate-induced calcification in human aortic valve interstitial cells (HAVICs) by inhibiting phosphate cotransporter (PiT-1) gene expression and exhibits moderate antiangiogenic activity against human tumor cells.

Celosin H, celosin I, celosin J could be used as chemical markers for the quality control of C. argentea seeds.

Oroxylin A-7-O-glucuronide (Oroxylin A Glucoronide) and wogonoside should also be served as the chemical markers together with baicalin for the quality control of herbs and proprietary traditional Chinese medicine (PTCM) products of radix Scutellariae. Oroxylin A 7-O-glucuronide, Oroxin A, and Oroxin B can bind to the stem region of α-hemolysin (α-HL), when inhibiting the hemolytic activity of α-HL. Oroxylin A 7-O-glucuronide and 4', 5, 7-trihydroxy-6-methoxyflavone at a concentration of 100 microM inhibit 34 and 43% of total prolyl oligopeptidase (POP) activity, respectively.

Baldrinal, valtrate, and acevaltrate are the quality control compounds of Valeriana jatamansi Jones.

15-Demethylplumieride is a quality control index of Plumeriarubra L.

1. Albiflorin (Alibiflorin) has anticonvulsant effect for pain relief. 2. Albiflorin and paeoniflorin has neuroprotective action against Glu toxicity. 3. Albiflorin and paeoniflorin significantly ameliorated Glu-induced reduction of cell viability, nuclear and mitochondrial apoptotic alteration, reactive oxygen species accumulation and B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) Bax ratio. 4. Albiflorin can serve as a new chemical marker for the quality control of Paeoniae Radix and the Chinese Pharmacopoeia can be updated, via has similar anti-inflammatory effects to paeoniflorin.

Celosin H, celosin I, and celosin J could be used as chemical markers for the quality control of C. argentea seeds. Celosin I exhibited significant hepatoprotective effect on carbon tetrachloride-induced and N,N-dimethylformamide-induced hepatotoxicity in
