Objective: To establish the resolution and verification method of material basis of the property and flavor of Aurantii Fructus
and investigate the effect of Aurantii Fructus decoction and its chemical resolution components on gastrointestinal function
which will provide scientific evidence for the verification of the new assumption on the theory of properties and flavors of Chinese medicine "a flavor of one herbal has a property
one herbal contains X flavors and Y properties(Y ≤ X)".Method: The combined technique of dual extraction
alcohol precipitation
column chromatography
UPLC-MS and GC-MS were employed to achieve the resolution and verification of property and flavor material foundation of Aurantii Fructus.In addition
a gastrointestinal function models of atropine and neostigmine-induced mice was established.The effect of Aurantii Fructus decoction and its resolution components on gastrointestinal function was investigated by detecting the rate of gastric emptying and intestinal propulsion.Result: Aurantii Fructus decoction was split into alkaloids
volatile oils
polysaccharides and flavonoids
the components clearly separated and the chemical composition of each other did not cross.In pharmacological experiments
for normal mice
the residual rate of gastric phenol sulfonphthalein was significantly decreased(P<0.01) and the small intestinal propulsive rate was significantly increased(P<0.01) in the volatile oil group and the alkaloid group.For gastrointestinal inhibition mice induced by atropine
Aurantii Fructus decoction group
volatile oil group and alkaloid group could significantly increase gastric emptying and intestinal propulsive rate in mice(P<0.01).In addition
Aurantii Fructus decoction and its chemical resolution components had no antagonism on gastrointestinal sthenic motility induced by neostigmine.Conclusion: Alkaloid component and volatile oil component are the material basis of Aurantii Fructus to promote gastrointestinal function and they are also the material basis of "flavor pungent" of Aurantii Fructus.
