Keyword: Amaranthaceae; Celosia cristata L.; chemical constituents
Celosia cristata L.also known as chicken bun flower ,old to red, Cock flowers, Amaranthaceae in seeds is an annual herb, native to tropical America, India and Africa [1]. Celosia cristata L. inflorescence first used as medicine that contained in the "Southern Yunnan Materia Medica", sweet in flavor, cold in nature,convergingto liver and large intestine channel.It has the effect of constringency, hemostasia ,stoppingleucorrhoea and dysentery[2]. The active ingredients are flavonoids, saponins and other compounds [3-4].The compoundspossessimmunomodulatory, promoting bone growth, anti-Trichomonas vaginalisand bleeding, protectingliver and other anti-aging function[5-1 ]. Studies on chemical constituents of Celosia cristata L. few reports, I seeCelosia cristata L. seeds isolated triterpenoid saponins [4-5]whichreported in the literature.
To clarify medicinal value of Celosia cristata L. , to explore the physiological activity of the plant and material base of activeingredient,we conduct a preliminary study on chemical compositionof Celosia cristata L. inflorescence ,providing a scientific basisfor the development and utilization of Celosia cristata L. The experimental study ,12 compounds are isolated from the initial compounds which the four structures are confirmed and identified, including a phenolic glycosides 4-O-P-D-apiofuranosyl - (1 ^ 2) - P-D-glucose -2 - hydroxy-6 - methoxy-acetophenone (1);two Phenyl-propanoids:p-coumaric acid glucoside(2) and eugenyl-O-P-apiofuranosyl-(1^6)-O-P-glucoside(3);a flavonoids isorhamnetin-3-O-(2-O-P-D-glucose)-P-D-galactose-7-O-P-D-glucoside (4).

Abstract: objectiveThe preparing technique of the droppingpill were established.Methods The orthogonal test was design with PEG4000, PEG6000 and Boluosham as base for the research of the dropping pill Preparation process. Resuits The best preparing technique were thedrug and matrix as 1:5, PEG4000/PEG6000 as 3:1, drug / Boluosham as 20:1, liquid temperature as88C, and dropping rate as 20 drops per min, and dropping distance as 5cm.Conclusions The dropping pill was prepared with the best hardness, roundness and weight differences. Key words :anti-cancer element; colon targeting; dropping pill
Keaisu is a colon-targeted preparations, including curcuminoids from the root of curcuma longa and quercetin from bud of sophora japonica. Quercetin is the hydrolysate which from rutin is hydrolyzed under the action of enzymes or acid. Modern pharmacological studies have shown thatQuercetin is a kind of natural flavonoid compound which can dilate coronary artery, reducing blood lipid, anti-inflammation, anti-allergy, anti-diabetes mellitus complication and other effects[1]. Curcumin is a yellow, acid, phenolic compound extracted from a plant of Zingiberaceae and Curcuma genus, the root of curcuma longa. And Curcumin is the major active ingredient pharmacology. Curcumin has extensive pharmacological effects, such as anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti mutation, anti-hiv, etc[2]. The Chinese medicinetargeted preparations are composed of curcuminoids and quercetin (mass ratio35g: 20g) [3], which are effective components, and thiswill provide a reference for studyingon oral drug release system.
