^Introduction
Folium Syringae is dry leaves of Syringa oblate Lindl. in Oleaceae plant [1]. The genus of deciduous shrub distributes widelyand is abundant resources in northeast of China, and it is the main courtyard greening tree species. The water decoction of folium Syringae is used to treat excellently diarrhea and eye disease in folk. Folium Syringae was found to possess therapeutict effects on antiviral[2],anti-inflammatory[3], antibacterial,antitussive, antioxidant and hypothermia[4,5], and also could enhance immune function[6]. It is well known that traditional Chinese medicine is a complex mixturecontaining hundreds of chemically different constituents with therapeutic effects. Therefore, itseems necessary to determine multi-component as muchas possible to ensure the quality of TCM.In the prior reseach , a total 9 compounds of the dry folium Syringae were separated andidentified from folium Syringae [7], and6 compounds of them the were obtained for the first time from folium Syringae.
The aims of the present study are to develop aappropriate analyticalmethod to simultaneously determinefive bioactive components with higher content in folium Syringae(Structure as shown infig.1), and be readily utilizedas a quality control for the medicinal herbs and preparations.

3.1 Optimum condition of chromatography system
In our study,Mixture of methanol and water(containing 0.1% phosphoric acid solution and without 0.1% phosphoric acid solution )was used as mobile phase, there was no too big difference on the spectra, but retention time of the material was extended.Therefore, mixture of methanol and aqueous without 0.1% phosphoric acid solution was adopted. A method of the gradient elution condition was established for the simultaneous determination of five compounds in Folium Syringaein 25 minutes. The wavelength of 220 nm, 254 nm, 260 nm, 270 nm, 280 nm and 300 nm were chosen to recordchromatograms for fivecompounds to achieve maximum sensitivity. The best result wasachieved using wavelength of 280 nm.The flow rate was also investigated,and results showed flow rate of 0.3 mlmin-1was more appropriate. 3.2. Method validation 3.2.1 linear range
The linearity calibration curves for the five compoundswere assessed at at least five concentration levels, and triplicateinjections were applied at each concentration. Calibrationcurves were constructed by plotting the integrated chromatographicpeak areas (Y) versus the corresponding sample quantityof the injected standard solutions (X ^g). Least squaremethod regression was employed, and results were presentedin Table 3. High correlation coefficient values (R > 0.9997)were achieved in relatively wide concentration ranges for allthe analytes. Table 3 Result of regression analysis on calibration curves_

3.2.2 Precision and repeatability
The precision were determined by the same analyzingsample and continuous injection 5 times bymentioned chromatographic conditions. Results showed that the RSD of peak area were 0.37%, 0.07%, 0.59%, 0.37% and 0.46%, respectively.To confirm the repeatability, five differentworking solutions was prepared and analyzed from the same sample,the resultof repeatability indicated that the RSD of peak area were0.44%, 0.30%, 0.77%, 0.34% and 0.44%, respectively.So the method is acceptable.
3.2.3Accuracy
The recoveries of the compounds were determined by themethod of standard addition. Suitable amounts of the five references were spiked into a sampleof folium Syringae, which were analyzed previously. The mixturewas extracted and analyzed by using the proposed procedure.Table 4 showed the results of accuracy. It indicated that the RSD was lessthan 5% respectively, and the method is thus workable.

Abstracts: Three types of nanoscale Metal-organic Frameworks IRMOF-1, IRMOF-3 and HKUST-1 were synthesized successfully at the room temperature and was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction(PXRD), SEM , TEM and Nitrogen adsorption instrument. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a promising platform for drug delivery, owing to their many characters like porosity, high surface areas, unsaturated metal coordination site, preparation simple and versatile structure etc.It is provided with high drug loadings and fixed drug release, so it has received considerable attention. But compared with other carrier materials,the study of the MOFs is only in the primary stage .
Key words:Metal-organic frameworks; MOFs; mesoporous material; drug delivery
Metal-organic Frameworks(MOFs) are a kind of hybrid materials that are built from metal ion connectors and polydentate bridging ligands which have been exploited on the bulk scale for a number of applications, including gas adsorption[1], catalysis[2], nonlinear optics[3] and drug delivery[4]. Moreover, the high structural flexibility of some porous MOFs [5] enables the adaptation of their porosity to the shape of the hosted molecule. Recently, nanoMOFs based on NPs of nontoxic porous iron(III) carboxylates were shown to exhibit important drug loadings and progressive release as well as interesting imaging properties [6]. Herein we report a general method for preparing nanoscale MOFs ( NMOFs ) using pouring rapidly and room-tempreture titrimetry and demonstrate the potential utility of NMOFs as drug carries.
We choose Cu and Zn as the metal connectors because they are necessary trace elements for the health of people. Benzenetricarboxylic acid (H3BTC) and terephthalic acid (H2BDC) are used as the
