pharmacological action | 1. Anti-Fatigue study showed that Hovenia dulcis Thunb ethanol extract had good anti-fatigue effect, increased glycogen storage and reduced the accumulation of urea nitrogen after exercise. 2. Anti-aging effect studies show that different doses of Hovenia dulcis Thunb extract can improve the learning and memory ability of D-galactose-induced subacute aging mice, this effect may be partly caused by increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the body, reducing the formation of lipid peroxide and improving the antioxidant capacity of the body. 3. The study of the effect on the liver showed that the water extract of Hovenia dulcis Thunb had obvious therapeutic effect on NASH induced by high fat diet in rats, and the effect was better than that of Tiopronin combined with Tiopronin treatment group. The mechanism of action may be related to the improvement of insulin sensitivity, anti-oxidation, inhibition of inflammatory cytokines and so on. 4. Protective effect of ethyl acetate solution of Hovenia dulcis Thunb methanol extract, in which catechin and Catechol can effectively clean up DPPH and ABTS free radicals, and show anti-glutamate induced neurotoxicity in rat hippocampal HT22 cells, has the function of protecting nerve. 5. The effect of intravenous injection of 3.4~6.7mg/kg and water extract of Hovenia dulcis Thunb on circulatory system can cause the mean arterial pressure of normal anesthetized cats to decrease by 13~27mmHg; intravenous injection of 0.2~0.4mg/kg aqueous solution of n-butanol extract of Hovenia dulcis Thunb caused a decrease in mean arterial pressure of 22~24 mmHg in normal anesthetized cats.

extraction separation | 20.0kg of dried and mature Hovenia dulcis Thunb. Was pulverized to a coarse powder and extracted by percolation with 70% ethanol. The extract was concentrated under reduced pressure to no alcoholic taste to give a total extract of 1. 8kg. The extract was suspended with appropriate amount of water, and extracted with petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and n-butanol successively. After the solvent was recovered, petroleum ether extract (108g), ethyl acetate extract (450g) and n-butanol extract (120g) were obtained. N-butanol extract (100g) with silica gel column chromatography with chloroform-methanol system gradient elution, by TLC combined to obtain five fractions, fraction 3 and fraction 4 were treated by ODS, sephadexLH-20 column and preparative HPLC gave compounds 1 (66mg), 2(7.5mg), 3(67mg), 4(28mg), 5(15mg), 6(23mg). And 7(20mg). They are: 3 ',5'-di-C-β-D-glucose-phloretin (1), isovitexin 2-o-β-d-glucoside (2), vitexin 2-o-β-d-glucoside (3), isoprinin (4), myricetin 3-o-β-d-glucoside (5) ,L-tryptophan (6) and gallic acid (7) |
identification | Character Identification: The seed was oblate, slightly protruded on the back, with flat ventral surface, 0.3-0.5 in diameter, about 0.2 in thickness. The surface is red-brown to brown-black, smooth and glossy. Apical microbulge, with small depression at base, with a little-shaped light-colored umbilicus, with 1 longitudinal rib on ventral surface. The seed coat is hard, and the seed kernel is light yellow and oily. The taste was slightly bitter. With large grains, full, red-brown color is better. Microscopically, the outer part of the seed coat on the transverse section was 1 row of grid-like cells, about 180 μm in length and 12 μm in width, with thin outer wall and very thick lateral wall, with narrow slit-like cell cavity and enlargement near the inner wall, there was a brilliant band on the lateral side. The cells of pigment layer were in sequence, nearly ovoid or polygonal, containing brown matter. The parenchyma cells of the inner sequence were small, without pigment. Ectodermal cells were decayed, and the cell wall of the endosperm was thick, containing aleurone grains. The cell wall of cotyledon is thin, containing aleurone grains. Physical and Chemical identification take sample powder 0.1g, add diethyl ether 2ml, cold soak for 20 minutes, filter, filtrate to remove diethyl ether, add chloroform 0.5ml to dissolve, point on silica gel G plate, with n-hexane-ethyl ether-glacial acetic acid (7:3:0.1) as the developing solvent, the development distance was 10cm, and the iodine vapor developed color. Identification of Hovenia dulcis Thunb by UV spectrum take 3 samples of coarse powder, 2g each, put 50ml iodine flask, add petroleum ether, chloroform, water 20ml, shake, plug, room temperature for 3H, after filtration, the filtrate was diluted to a suitable concentration, and its ultraviolet spectrum was measured on Shimadzu UV-210A spectrophotometer. Results The Lambda maxPet of Hovenia dulcis Thunb was 216, 272nm, Max CHCl3 was 242, 278nm, Max H2O was 215, 275nm. Figure 2 is the ultraviolet spectrum of Hovenia dulcis Thunb. 1.
